**Join us on a unique trip, suitable for everyone, to see one of UNESCO's World Heritage National Parks.** **You may see the reviews [here](https://www.meetup.com/AAA-London-Group/events/91199492/)** [Photos are here](https://www.facebook.com/AAALondonGroup/photos?tab=album&album_id=1189766161223673) & below the event description. **Please, send all trip questions to aaalondongroup@yahoo.co.uk** Croatia is one of the ecologically best-preserved parts of Europe. It is a land where the hues of the sunny and warm Mediterranean happily blend with the tranquillity and freshness of the mountains and the gentle sway of the golden plains of Pannonia. **Plitvice Lakes National Park is Croatia's first National park, established in 1949,** covering 296.85 square km of breathtaking natural splendour, **making it the largest among the country's 8 national parks, ranging in altitude from 367 m to 1279 m above sea level.** **The Plitvice National Park is beautiful in any season.** The park was inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1979, recognising its "outstanding natural beauty and undisturbed production of travertine (tufa) through chemical and biological action". It represents a phenomenon of karst hydrography. The park harbours a grand collection of waterfalls, a gallery of lakes, forests and a diversity of animal life. The lakes are renowned for their distinctive colours, ranging from azure to green, grey or blue. They change constantly depending on the number of minerals or organisms in the water and the angle of sunlight. The 16 lakes are formed by natural dams of travertine & separated into upper and lower lakes. There are 8 km of good pathways and wooden walking trails around lakes, accessible even by wheelchair and steeper, narrower mountain paths, too. We also plan to visit the small but stunning **village of Rastoke,** which is formed by the play of nature on the place where the River Slunjčica connects with the River Korana. Nature played with the blue-green waters and spread them into many big and small waterfalls. Rastoke is known for its 18th-century flour mills and homes, built in traditional architectural styles. **STAY INFORMED** **[Join the AAA Hiking Mailing List for our Special Offers.](https://www.aaahiking.co.uk/newsletter-signup)** POSSIBLE ENTERTAINMENT There is a chance to have a local folk band on the last night if we are a large group and prepared to chip in.

Što danas zaista donosi rezultate kampanjama i zašto se marketinška industrija sve više vraća brendu, kreativnosti i dugoročnom učinku? Nakon rovinjskog gostovanja MMZG-a na Danima komunikacija, najvećeg regionalnog festivala komunikacija i kreativnosti, ovoga puta DK goes MMZG! Poslušajte dio ekipe iz Organizacijskog odbora Dana komunikacija kako s Danijelom Štihom razgovaraju o ključnim pravilima koja će obilježiti uspješne kampanje u 2026. Kroz uvide iz najrelevantnijih svjetskih strukovnih istraživanja, poput WARC-a, Cannesa i IPA-e, panelisti će otvoriti pitanja učinkovitosti, kreativnosti i strateških odluka koje danas čine razliku između hrabrih i generičkih brendova. Panelisti: * **Jelena Fiškuš** \- Studio Sonda * **Anđela Buljan Šiber** \- Izone\.agency * **Damir Ciglar** – Imago Ogilvy * **Danijel Štih**, moderator – WPP Media Vidimo se 8.4. u 19 h na Zavrtnici u Wespa Spaces! 🤝 O PANELISTIMA * **Jelena Fiškuš**, kreativna direktorica i suosnivačica kreativnog Studia Sonda kojeg vodi sa Seanom Poropatom. Pobornici su ideje da dizajn i komunikacija moraju biti logični, iskreni i intuitivni, a najbolji okidač za kreativnost sadržajan je i ispunjen život. Za projekte s područja dizajna i komunikacije, dobitnici su brojnih domaćih i međunarodnih priznanja. Predsjednica je Uprave Hrvatske udruge društava za tržišno komuniciranje (HURA) i IAB-a Croatia. * **Anđela Buljan Šiber** je članica organizacijskog odbora Dana komunikacija, ključnog regionalnog festivala tržišnih komunikacija i vlasnica agencije Izone. Od 2019. do 2023. vodila je HURA-u i IAB kao njihova predsjednica, a uz rad u industriji, jednako predano bavi se i znanošću, nastojeći pritom znanost približiti praksi. * **Damir Ciglar** je utemeljio i vodio (do 1. aprila) Imago reklamnu agenciju, ili Imago Ogilvy, od 1992. godine. Voli se praviti pametan i kreativan. Istini za volju, ima par desetljeća kreativnih i marketinških iskustava (od kojih neka i u stranim državama), kao i nekoliko nedovršenih, pa čak i dovršenih postdiplomskih studija (gdje ima iskustva i kao predavač), tako da ima i zrnce marketinške teorije. Uglavnom, više o njegovim životnim postignućima možete uvijek pogledati na www.imago.hr. Ili na www.hearth.hr. Ili na www.rrgr.hr. Ili na www.drap.hr. * **Danijel Štih** je pasionirani kolekcionar briefova, zaljubljenik u spajanje nepovezivog i glavni strateg u hrvatskom uredu medijske agencije WPP Media, jednog od globalnih lidera marketinške komunikacije. I makar je prošao svaki trend, hit i modu koja se u zadnjih 25 godina desila u našoj industriji, još uvijek je pravi predstavnik Generacije X i čvrsto vjeruje da je dobar proizvod za fer cijenu - sve što ljudi žele. \*\*\* 18:30-19:00 Okupljanje sudionika, Wespa spaces Zavrtnica 19:00-20:15 Panel rasprava: "5 pravila koja povećavaju rezultate kampanja u 2026." 20:15-20:30 Otvorena rasprava i pitanja publike 20:30-...

Jedan od rijetkih, a možda i jedini business event gdje keynote počinje na žičari, dok skijanje prirodno otvara nove poslovne perspektive, prilike za networking i inspiraciju za hrabrije odluke u poslu. * [MediaKit](https://mediakit.hr/) je informativna platforma za sve koji žive marketing, PR, medije i event industriju.

Na novom LevelUp Meetup imamo priliku čuti jednog od najuglednijih hrvatskih psihijatara i psihoanalitičkih psihoterapeuta, **prof. dr. sc. Darka Marčinka**, predstojnika Klinike za psihijatriju i psihološku medicinu KBC Zagreb i redovitog profesora Medicinskog fakulteta u Zagrebu. Profesor Marčinko već desetljećima istražuje duboke poveznice između psihičkog zdravlja, međuljudskih odnosa i društvenog konteksta. Naš dragi gost će nas provesti kroz nekoliko ključnih tema koje obilježavaju suvremeno doba: * **Dimenzije stresa i mentalnog zdravlja** – kako suvremeni život oblikuje našu otpornost i ranjivost * **Transgeneracijska trauma i usamljenost Hrvata** – zašto je usamljenost postala gotovo nacionalna bolest i koja je razlika između usamljenosti i samoće * **Zašto je narcizam gubitnička strategija** – unatoč prividnoj snazi i grandioznosti, narcistički način života na kraju donosi samo patnju i izolaciju * **Važnost dobrih odnosa** – osvrt na najnoviju knjigu profesora Marčinka i njegovog tima „Dobri odnosi“ (2025.), koja pokazuje da su kvalitetni međuljudski odnosi možda najvažniji zaštitni faktor mentalnog zdravlja * **Socijalni faktori** u nastanku i održavanju psihičkih teškoća – jer više nismo u mogućnosti promatrati čovjeka izvan njegovog društvenog i kulturnog konteksta * **Polarizacija u suvremenom svijetu** – psihodinamski pogled na duboke podjele koje vidimo u društvu, obiteljima i među bliskim ljudima Profesor Marčinko spojit će kliničko iskustvo, psihoanalitičku dubinu i dugogodišnje znanstveno istraživanje kako bi nam pomogao bolje razumjeti sebe, svoje najbliže i društvo u kojem živimo. Predavanje nije samo teorijsko – ono je i praktično. Donosi uvide koji nam mogu pomoći u svakodnevnom životu, u odnosima s partnerom, djecom, roditeljima, kolegama i sa sobom samima. Ovo nije klasičan MeetUp – već večer iskrenog razgovora, inspiracije i konkretnih uvida koje možete odmah primijeniti u svom životu. MODERATOR: ZORAN SALOPEK 👉🏻 Prijave: Meetup platforma 📍 Pivana, Ilica 222, Zagreb 🗓 08.04.2026. u 18:00h Organizator: Međunarodni institut za emocionalnu zrelost – zajednica poduzetnika, stručnjaka i znanstvenika posvećenih razvoju pojedinaca i društva. 🌐 http://emotionalmaturity.eu

Širenjem našeg unutarnjeg prostora dolazimo na sve viši nivo svjesnosti. No naše fizičko tijelo nisko izvibrirano, obilno hranjeno negativnim emocijama i mislima stvara prepreke tom širenju i naša životna energija se smanjuje… Osvijestimo naš unutarnji prostor, očistimo blokade, omogućimo našem tijelu protok, omogućimo si unutarnji mir. Stanje unutarnjeg mira nam pomaže u lakšem suočavanju sa stresom, sposobnost donošenja boljih odluka i podiže kvalitetu života. Svojim dolaskom i donacijom izravno podržavate rad našeg Kluba. Hvala :)

Zagreb language and culture exchange meetup. Chat in many languages, meet new people and plan adventures together. Hey everyone! 👋 As spring arrives in Zagreb and the city wakes up again, we’re keeping Thursdays social with **Small Friday International Zagreb** ([SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/)) a relaxed international meetup where locals, expats, Erasmus students and travellers gather to chat, exchange languages, share stories and plan the next adventure. Think of it as Zagreb’s global living room with lively conversations, and that moment when a random Thursday evening decides to surprise you. ✨ Whether you’ve just arrived in Zagreb, been here a while, or live around the corner, you’re very welcome. 📍 **When & Where** 📍 **The Beertija** Pavla Hatza 16, Zagreb 🕗 **Every other Thursday from 8PM** ✨ Free to join: simply grab a drink and support our host bar 🍺🎸 ✨ Open to everyone: all ages, backgrounds and language levels 💬 **What Happens at [SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/)**?

Magnolia trees bloom across the city, café terraces fill with conversation, and longer sunny days invite people outdoors. Locals stroll through parks, cycle along the Sava, run around Jarun and Bundek lakes, or escape to the nearby Medvednica mountain for hikes and views above the city. At the same time, Zagreb’s cultural calendar blossoms with exhibitions, concerts, festivals and theatre performances, while markets like Dolac overflow with seasonal produce: asparagus, wild garlic, strawberries and fresh flavours of the season. It’s the perfect time to meet people and explore the city together. And many of those plans begin right here, at [SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/). 🌍 🍺 **Why The Beertija?** Because it’s more than a bar, it’s our headquarters. Expect: 🌿 leafy terrace vibes 🎸 rock-inspired atmosphere 🍺 excellent beers 🛋️ relaxed living-room energy 🚭 non-smoking indoor space It’s the kind of place where you pop in for one drink and suddenly realise the evening flew by. 💡 **First-Timer Tip** If it’s your first time: 👋 arrive early 🙂 smile and say hello 💬 jump into a conversation Everyone was new once and that’s how all starts. 🌍 **Join the Crew** [SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/) is a community built by the people who show up. So if your Thursday evening could use a little more conversation, laughter and international energy, come by and join us. Bring a friend if you like, or come solo and meet new ones. ✨Ditch the screen, grab a drink, meet the world🌍 See you on Small Friday! 🍻 **SFIZ Crew** P.S.

Modern websites are complex, dynamic, and protected by many anti-scraping systems. At the same time, companies need large amounts of structured data from the web. In this event, we will focus on a real scraping use case and use it to explain how modern scraping works. You will learn what kinds of protections websites use today, what tools can be used depending on website difficulty, and what technical challenges appear in practice. We will also show how machine learning and AI help turn messy web data into structured, usable information. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ⌚️ **Start**: 16:00 and end at 17:00, both online and offline in **Truhlárna Karlín** (Šaldova 388/5) - **Onsite attendance is limited to 100 people.** 🎙️ **Speakers:** Jan Mittner, Michal Marhan 🍻 **Networking** after the seminar – great food and cold beer waiting for you! **🎥 Recording:** After the event we will publish a recording and post a link to it in the comments. 🚪**Doors open** at 15:45, and the event officially starts at 16:00.

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

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

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

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event!

For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.

On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
