## Whatsapp group https://chat.whatsapp.com/EcNvCIJkBYX44Q18qYie01?mode=gi_t Ever wished you could explore Rome while actually meeting people, not just walking past them? This is a **social breakfast and walk hosted by a local**, created for travelers, expats, and anyone curious about experiencing Rome in a relaxed, human way. We meet over breakfast, get to know each other, then wander through the city together, letting conversation and curiosity guide the walk. This is **not a guided tour** and there’s no fixed route. Think of it as exploring Rome with new friends rather than following an itinerary. ### What we'll do * Meet for an Italian breakfast and casual introductions * Take an easy social walk through central Rome ( Piazza del Popolo- Spagna- Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Pantheon and Castel Sant'Angelo) * Pause at a few spots to chat, take photos, and mingle * End near the Vatican City, with the option to continue to lunch together ### What’s included * Breakfast of your choice (drink + pastry) * A small traditional snack during the walk * A relaxed, small-group experience * Hosted in English by a local, with everyone free to speak any language ### Optional tip At the end of the walk, there will be an **optional tip or donation** for the host. This is never expected, but always appreciated if you enjoyed the experience and helps us cover the cost of organizing these walks. ### Important: how to join FREE TO JOIN Once registered, you’ll save your spot and also you can join our Whatsapp group linked above If you enjoy slow walks, good conversation, and meeting people from around the world, this event is for you

**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 📓 **HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IyNlkFij4sJ7yDEWPmOG31?mode=gi_t), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: * 16:00-17:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the ‘official' start. * 16:15-17:25 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines. * 16:25-17:45 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 17:45-18:00 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 18:00 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! We just ask that if we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Some chapters rent a space for us to meet, and they may ask for donations to help contribute to the cost of rent. Donations will always be 100% voluntary though! **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** 🗣 “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * ​What will we talk about? What's the topic? ​The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IyNlkFij4sJ7yDEWPmOG31?mode=gi_t). * Do I need to study or read anything to attend? No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required. * Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on? The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * Is it mostly men that attend? Surprisingly, no! Although philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms. * Can I come alone? Of course you can, we encourage it :) * Can I be late? Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * Where do you meet? The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IyNlkFij4sJ7yDEWPmOG31?mode=gi_t) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/practical-philosophy-locations/). **🤝POLICY** To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. (This looks like speaking in person and being asked to message privately. Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group.

## Un format che invita ad andare oltre la copertina delle persone, delle storie, dei luoghi (comuni), e creare relazioni di valore. Dopo il successo dell’evento realizzato a settembre, nel corso della Rome Future Week, prosegue la collaborazione fra ReadMeet e TuSai. Questa volta l’appuntamento è alla libreria caffè letterario Mangiaparole, uno dei luoghi storici della vita culturale romana, nel pieno del quartiere Appio Latino, a due passi dal cinema Trianon e dalla fermata Furio Camillo della metro. Da un lato **Readmeet**, un’app di incontri e networking di valore che utilizza i libri invece delle foto per costruire match e relazioni, non soltanto d’amore ma anche di amicizia. Basata su una logica da Community, ha al suo interno anche canali social dedicati ad argomenti legati ai libri, alle relazioni d’amore e alla lettura. Nel canale YouTube sono disponibili videointerviste agli scrittori più amati e di successo. Dall’altro **TuSai**, il progetto internazionale ESG di sostenibilità sociale olistica che ha al centro il benessere delle persone e che propone percorsi e workshop che integrano l’arte, la mindfulness e la condivisione orizzontale tra i partecipanti. **Il 31 maggio TuSai e Readmeet fanno “match” negli spazio della Libreria Caffè Letterario Mangiaparole in via Manlio Capitolino 7/9 a pochi passi passi dalla Stazione M Furio Camillo.** Ancora una volta fulcro dell’attività sarà un workshop esperienziale firmata TuSai, creato per chi non si accontenta di uno swipe sul cellulare ma crede nel valore delle interazioni umane. In un tempo in cui si cerca di conoscersi in pochi secondi, “Conoscersi tra le Righe” invita ad attivare creatività e ascolto personale per leggere (e lasciarsi leggere), tra le righe. Evento gratuito, Prenotazioni obbligatoria, posti limitati [https://www.tusaiforpeople.com/readmeet/](https://www.tusaiforpeople.com/readmeet/) ## Cosa faremo insieme: Guidati dalla metodologia creativa di **TuSai**, i *Meeters* avranno modo di conoscere sé stessi e gli altri tramite il gioco e la lettura, e prenderanno parte ad un workshop esperienziale che vuole fa cambiare prospettiva sul dating. * **Creatività, letture condivise, pratiche di presenza e momenti di dialogo reale.** Una serata diversa, in cui, tramite disegni e colori, si prenderà contatto con le proprie emozioni e la fantasia dei libri per dar forma ad un linguaggio universale: quello dell’empatia, dell’ascolto profondo e di un sentire condiviso che sorprende a ogni incontro. * **Incontri & Networking di alto valore.** Per un’esperienza immersiva che va oltre lo swipe, oltre i luoghi comuni, oltre le prime impressioni. * **Introspezione e relazione:** un’esperienza relazionale e trasformativa, dove ogni pagina è un pretesto per raccontarsi, e ogni incontro un potenziale specchio di ciò che conosci, sai…e sei. * **Libri, libri, ed ancora libri.** Ad ogni partecipante sarà proposto di pensare ad un libro che lo/la rappresenta: il resto si scriverà insieme. ##### **E non finisce qui…** Scopri di più e prenotati GRATIS a questo link, i posti sono limitati !

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!
