Hi! Welcome to Thought Experiments in Pubs - Berlin edition, where you get to have deep conversations with people you've never met. The topic will be education. I'll post some questions that will help guide us through the topic as a comment on the day. **Location:** [Atopia Kaffeehaus, Prenzlauer Allee 187, 10405 Berlin](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ukuup9CTrmedrB6f9) * Please consider that the locations we visit do not charge us for our booking, so in return, please make sure to show your appreciation by buying drinks or snacks. * If you're signed up but can't make the event, please cancel so someone else can take your spot * Make sure you check the right address, there is a sister pub nearby and it's not that one ☝️ **The idea:** A chance to meet and talk at a 'deeper' level, and skip the 'small talk'. **How will it work?** We will have a set of 'Thought Experiments', short, philosophical scenarios and questions, which will be discussed in groups. The conversation will flow freely, there are no strict rules, simply share and discuss your perspectives on the given topic. The thought experiments will be posted here ahead of the event. **Who should come?** Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts in philosophy, it is about *doing* philosophy. That is, bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world to group discussions about the human experience, the nature of reality... etc. **Do I need to bring anything?** No! Just an open, inquisitive mind. We will do 3 rounds of discussions. After the event, I would love to hear your feedback on the session. The thought experiments we will discuss are around the theme of the day. Prompts will be posted here on the day of the event. See you soon! \- Dirk *Thought Experiments in Pubs Berlin is inspired by [Thought Experiments in Pubs London](https://www.meetup.com/thought-experiments-in-pubs/), which originated in 2023 as a social experiment to get people together to connect at a deeper level.

*This event is a collaboration with our friends from Domain Driven Design Berlin, check out their Meetup page [here](https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/domain-driven-design-berlin/) and sign up there!* \-\-\-\-\- **About the evening** Back in August, we explored how Design Thinking can help us uncover and validate the right problems. But even when we agree on what to build, things often go wrong, not because of bad solutions, but because we don’t fully understand what the problem actually means in practice. In this session, we’ll build on that idea and focus on the next step: turning vague ideas into something concrete, shared, and testable. Using Example Mapping - a lightweight technique from Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) - we’ll work in small groups to: * Break down a feature into rules, examples, and questions * Surface hidden assumptions and edge cases * Align on what the behaviour of a system should actually look like If the previous session was about finding the right problem, this one is about understanding it well enough to build it right. This is a hands-on workshop. Be prepared to participate fully and add to the energy of the room. Looking forward to seeing you there! **RSVPS:** **Please sing up on the event page from [Domain Driven Design Berlin](https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/domain-driven-design-berlin/)!** \-\-\-\-\-\- **Code of Conduct** We adhere to the [Berlin Code of Conduct](https://berlincodeofconduct.org/) to ensure a welcoming and respectful environment for all participants. The event space operates under largely compatible [Thoughtworks Meetups & Events CoC](https://www.thoughtworks.com/en-de/about-us/events/code-of-conduct-germany). **Accessibility** The Location is accessible for wheelchair users. This includes the entrance (no steps to get into the location), toilets and the stage.

If you are navigating life with both being a person of color and being neurodivergent—this sharing circle is for you. **Details** 📅 Wednesday, 8th of April 2026 🕕 18:30 - 20:30 📍 Meeting Room in BIW\*oC Rising https://maps.app.goo.gl/Y6wTvMXV4rCUkgzP8 🎟️ Free but a donation for the space is highly appreciated. **Community disclaimer:** This circle is organized entirely by neurodivergent volunteers who contribute their time, energy, and resources to create this space. They deserve patience and kindness. **What happens here** * We gather. We share. We listen. * Stimming, fidgeting, moving around, stepping out for a break, is always welcome. * For this first event, we will try to open with a round of introductions. If you feel called to, you can share three words that represent your neurodivergent and BIPOC life. * There is no pressure to share if you can't think of any or would rather just pass. * After we hear the words, we can see what themes emerge and let the conversation flow from there. * The format of this event can be changed and discussed the further we go with this sharing circle. **This space is for you if:** * You're a person of color—Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, mixed-race, or any marginalized racial or ethnic identity. * You're neurodivergent—diagnosed, self-identified, questioning, or just know your brain works differently: ADHD, autistic, dyslexic, AuDHD, or any other neurotype. **Community Agreements** * **This is a space to heal, not to harm.** Experiencing racism is painful and real. That pain is welcome here. However, this is not a space to express sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, colorist, or any other discriminatory attitudes toward any person or group—regardless of their identity. We all carry wounds. But those wounds do not give us permission to wound others. * **Confidentiality:** What is shared in the circle stays in the circle. This helps us build trust. * **No Fixing:** This is a space for sharing experiences, not for giving unsolicited advice, diagnosing others, or trying to "fix" someone. We are here to witness and support, not to problem-solve. * **Content Warnings:** If you plan to share something that involves heavy topics like trauma, self-harm, or graphic discrimination, please give a brief warning before you start (e.g., "I'd like to share something about a difficult experience..."). This allows others to gently step out or prepare themselves. * **Respect the Space:** Please be mindful and respectful of the venue that hosts us. **About the Space Hosting Us** "BIWOC\* Rising is a Berlin-based intersectional organization for Black, Indigenous, and Women\* of Color, as well as trans, intersex, and non-binary people of color. It provides a safer workspace, socal club, networking opportunities, and its current project, EquiNet, which offers workshops and events to support members’ social, professional, and economic empowerment. The organization aims to build community, challenge systemic discrimination, and strengthen opportunities for marginalized groups through inclusive spaces." **Learn more about BIWOC\* Rising**: https://biwoc-rising.org/ **We can't wait to share space with you.**

**Gesunde Snacks für Kinder – einfach & alltagstauglich** *Familien-Kochworkshop mit kurzem Vortrag* Viele Snacks für Kinder sind entweder zu süß, zu stark verarbeitet – oder einfach nicht wirklich sättigend. In diesem Workshop zeige ich, wie gesunde Snacks im Alltag wirklich funktionieren: einfach, schnell und so, dass Kinder sie gerne essen. Wir starten mit einem kurzen, praxisnahen Impuls für Eltern: → Was macht einen Snack wirklich ausgewogen? → Worauf kommt es im Alltag an (ohne komplizierte Regeln)? Anschließend gehen wir direkt in die Praxis und bereiten gemeinsam drei einfache Snacks zu, die sich gut in den Familienalltag integrieren lassen. Der Workshop ist bewusst niedrigschwellig gehalten – es geht nicht um Perfektion, sondern um umsetzbare Lösungen. **Für wen geeignet** Für Eltern, Großeltern und Familien mit Kindern – besonders für alle, die gesunde Ernährung entspannt in ihren Alltag integrieren möchten. **Organisatorisches** Mittwoch, 8. April 2026 14:30 – 16:00 Uhr Familienzentrum Die Brücke Gensinger Straße 58, 10315 Berlin **Wichtiger Hinweis zur Anmeldung** Die Teilnahme ist **nur nach vorheriger Anmeldung per E-Mail** möglich. 👉 Bitte melde dich verbindlich an unter: **bruecke@kinderdorf-berlin.de** Erst nach Bestätigung durch das Familienzentrum ist dein Platz gesichert.

Feature Afternoon: Filmscreening & Networking for Filmmakers. TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE (7€): https://kino-central.de/film/indiegold-mommyidontwantto/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio THE MOVIE: MOMMY I DON’T WANT TO is a gripping psychological thriller inspired by true events, transporting audiences into the shadows of 1970s California — brought to life on location across Greater Manchester and Lancashire, with studio scenes filmed in Dubai. The film builds a tense, atmospheric portrait of fear, survival, and the enduring bonds between a mother and child facing unimaginable threat. Adapted from Chris Friedman’s acclaimed novel of the same name, the story is entirely fictional — all characters and names are works of imagination. With meticulous period detail, the production recreates the atmosphere of 1970s American suburbia through the rich historical architecture of Northern England, a creative choice that allowed the filmmakers to achieve remarkable authenticity without extensive post-production or green screen work. The film explores themes of maternal instinct, institutional failure, and the psychological aftermath of living under the shadow of a serial predator. It is a story that resonates far beyond its historical setting — a timeless examination of how communities fracture under the weight of fear, and how individuals find courage in the most impossible of circumstances. IndieGold: IndieGold is a Film-Festival (we show feature Films once a month) organized by local Filmmakers from Berlin. We run the Company Seceda Studios and we deeply want to support the Indie Filmscene in Germany. :) After the Movie we go to a local Park (or in case of bad weather another location) so you have the chance to network with local filmmakers. See you there!

Join us again this Saturday for drinks and sweets at this delicious Vegan co-op bakery. Mingle with likeminded Columbus Vegans. We will aim to sit outside after purchasing items and hopefully taking in cooperative weather. Special note on parking: Please try to park along Acton, Richards and/or Chatham streets so as to free up the lot at the back of the building for pick-up orders. Thank you. 😊 Patty Cake offers everything from cupcakes, cookies, cakes, muffins, whoopie pies, as well as gluten free goodies. They also have coffee, oat milk and cold brew

At Unity of Columbus, our Youth and Family Ministry nurtures the spiritual growth of children and families through love, joy, and practical spiritual teachings. Each Sunday, children explore timeless spiritual principles through stories, creative activities, music, and group sharing in a safe and welcoming environment. Our program encourages children to discover their own inner light, express kindness, and develop a personal connection with God. Together, we celebrate diversity, cultivate understanding, and inspire each child to live with purpose and compassion. Parents and families are invited to join in this uplifting journey of learning, laughter, and spiritual connection.

This event is 2:30 - 4 pm Sunday. Conversation tends toward intermediate/advanced, but everybody is welcome. If you come and don't see us right away, keep looking. We could be anywhere in the restaurant.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon
