< \* \* \* English version below \* \* \* > DE UPDATE 25.3.: Die Graphische Sammlung (s.u.) ist über das Osterwochenende geschlossen. Das Wetter soll aber wohl kalt bleiben. Also gehen wir "eine Türe weiter" in die Archäologische Sammlung der Uni-Zürich. Dort warten jede Menge Abgüsse historischer Statuen um von uns gezeichnet zu werden. Stühle gibt es dort zum Ausleihen. Der Eintritt ist frei. Falls es doch schönes Wetter hat, bleibt immer noch die Polyterrasse. Wir treffen uns drinnen im Museums-Foyer. ENDE UPDATE Da es am ursprünglichen Termin (29.3.) noch einmal richtig kalt und ungemütlich werden soll, verschieben wir unser nächstes Treffen um eine Woche, d.h. auf das Osterwochenende. Und weil der erste Sonntag im Monat dieses Mal auf den Ostersonntag fällt, treffen wir uns ausnahmsweise am Samstag. Das passt gut, denn in der Graphischen Sammlung der ETH Zürich eröffnet gerade eine spannende neue Ausstellung: «Gletscher & Stromschnellen. Gezeichnete Schweiz um 1800». Gezeigt werden Werke aus dem reichen Bestand an Schweizer Handzeichnungen des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts, darunter Aquarelle, Gouachen, Studien und wissenschaftlich geprägte Darstellungen der Alpen. Die Ausstellung zeigt, wie das Bild der Schweiz um 1800 geprägt wurde – mit Gletschern, Gebirgslandschaften und dramatischen Naturmotiven, die auch heute noch stark wirken. Bei gutem Wetter können wir stattdessen aber auch draussen zeichnen, beispielsweise auf der Polyterrasse mit einem Blick über die Altstadt. Wir treffen uns in jedem Fall drinnen vor dem Eingang zur Ausstellung der Graphischen Sammlung. Mehr Infos zur Ausstellung findet ihr hier: https://gs.ethz.ch Bitte bringt euer eigenes Zeichenmaterial mit. Keine Vorkenntnisse nötig. Wir skizzieren rund 2 Stunden, allein oder in kleinen Gruppen, ganz entspannt. Danach treffen wir uns wieder, zeigen unsere Sketches und machen ein Gruppenfoto. Als Leitfaden dienen die Werte der Urban Sketchers: https://urbansketchers.org/de/who-we-are/#mission/ #uskzurich \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- EN UPDATE 25 March: The Graphische Sammlung (see below) is closed over the Easter weekend. However, the weather is expected to remain cold. So we’ll head ‘one door down’ to the University of Zurich’s Archaeological Collection. There, plenty of casts of historical statues are waiting for us to sketch them. Chairs are available to borrow there. Admission is free. If the weather turns out to be nice after all, we can always head to the Polyterrasse. We’ll meet inside in the museum foyer. END OF UPDATE As the weather is set to turn properly cold and unpleasant again, we are postponing our next meetup by one week to the Easter weekend. And since the first Sunday of the month falls on Easter Sunday this time, we will meet on Saturday instead. That works out rather well, because the Graphische Sammlung at ETH Zurich is opening an intriguing new exhibition: “Glaciers & Rapids. Drawn Switzerland around 1800.” It presents works from its rich holdings of 18th and 19th century Swiss drawings, including watercolours, gouaches, studies and scientifically informed depictions of the Alps. The exhibition explores how the visual image of Switzerland was shaped around 1800, through glaciers, mountain scenery and dramatic natural subjects that still resonate today. For sketchers, this promises compelling lines, tonal values, compositions and the question of how landscape can be staged through drawing. If the weather is fine, however, we can also draw outdoors instead, for example on the Polyterrasse with a view over the old town. In any case, we’ll meet indoors in front of the entrance to the Graphic Collection exhibition. More information about the exhibition can be found here: https://gs.ethz.ch Please bring your own drawing materials. No prior experience required. We sketch for about 2 hours, solo or in small groups, at an easy pace. Afterwards we regroup, share our sketches and take a group photo. As always, we follow the Urban Sketchers values: https://urbansketchers.org/who-we-are/#mission/ #uskzurich

(after 5 years, "Cafe Philo" events evolves to Aha Mindchat: exploring great questions in thoughtful conversations, open to all curious and enquiring minds) (note, event is announced in other channels, we expect more guests than reflected here) **🌻📚Longevity Book Brunch - What to trust?** 📅 Date: Saturday, 4 April 🕙 Time: from 10am 📍 Where: Big Migros Restaurant near HB, Löwenstrasse 35, top floor. I'll be wearing a hat (José) 📝 Plan: Each hour, 20min social + 40min discussion round. If weather allows, we take a walk by the river afterwards. If you're interested in living a good long live and how to get it, you might be dazzled at the amount of information already out there... So, let's get together to socialize and exchange about our sources, in particular books, for a rational, science- and evidence-based discussion with a philosophic overtone. From my own collection, topics range from medicine to philosophy, with the occasional miracle claim. **➡️ Bring your favorite book(s), grab a coffee or breakfast and let's chat!** 📚 We'll do discussion rounds based on who read what, maybe read some passages, and take social breaks. In each round, I'll introduce a set of books, topics and questions and some options for group/pair discussion. At the end, you can defend your favorites and we take a voting on the most trustable titles, to share with the community. And if the weather is good, we can go for a short walk afterwards! **IN ENGLISH by default. FREE** but please order drinks or food to support the venue, prices are reasonable. A small donation 2-5 CHF is welcome, or buy me a drink/snack or bring a book you don't use anymore ;-) === INFO for new guests ======================== A constructive, respectful attitude is expected. The idea is explore a topic together and learn about different perspectives. Participants share arguments, knowledge, opinions, insights, get feedback on their ideas but also challenge with questions or about flaws in reasoning. Or can also just listen, no pressure. In some cases I might assign a moderator per group to guide discussion and a wisdom keeper to write down the insights on a template.

Nina becomes the Bunny – and your mission is to hunt her down, collect hidden eggs, and outsmart the other teams. Think city-wide treasure hunt meets Easter chaos. Whether you're a strategist, a sprinter, or just here for the snacks – this one's for you! 🐣🏃‍♂️🔥 **Coming alone?** That's totally fine! We'll form teams on the spot with speed friending – you'll have a squad before you know it. And if you're **single** and open to it, we can match you with someone who catches your eye during the team formation. Just let us know – no pressure, just a little Easter spark! 💛 Stay in the loop: Join our WhatsApp group for updates and the live game chat on the day: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/HDOEXtGwxwq3zkR0PZXC43](https://chat.whatsapp.com/HDOEXtGwxwq3zkR0PZXC43) If the link doesn't open on your phone, try using WhatsApp Web on your computer. **Timeline** * 🥐 17:15 – Light welcome snacks on the rooftop terrace of Headquarters – fuel up before the chase! * 🤝 17:45 – Introduction to the game rules & speed friending to form your teams (with optional matching for singles 😏) * 🐰 18:15 – The Bunny gets a head start… the hunt begins! * The Bunny reveals locations in a shared WhatsApp chat where eggs are hidden (1 point per egg 🥚) * Catch the Bunny = 2 points + a special egg 🏆 * 📍 \~19:30 – Meeting at the final location (announced during the game) for the winner announcement & celebration **What to Bring** * Your smartphone (you'll need WhatsApp for the game) * Comfy shoes – you'll be moving through the city! * Water and energy for the chase **How It Works** After forming teams through speed friending, the Bunny gets a head start and disappears into the city. The Bunny will drop location clues in the shared WhatsApp chat where hidden eggs can be found – each egg is worth 1 point. But the real prize? Catching the Bunny earns your team 2 points and a special egg. The team with the most points wins! Let's make this Easter unforgettable – may the best hunters win! 🐰🏁 **Disclaimer** Participation in this event requires a valid ticket, which must be purchased in advance via the link provided in the event description.

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

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.
