أهلاً بكم أصدقاء الكتابة ورفقاء الطريق الوعر أحياناً والممتع أحياناً أخرى. في لقاءاتنا المعتادة، أجلب معي سؤالاً أو بداية قصة تبحث عن نهاية، أعرضها للحضور ثم نحدد وقتاً (عشرون دقيقة في الغالب) نحاول خلاله إكمال القصة أو الإجابة عن تلك الأسئلة. عندما ينفد الوقت، نشارك ما كتبنا ونتبادل الأفكار. نادراً ما تكتمل المهمة في ذلك الوقت المحدود، ولكن في كل مرة نكتب ما يستحق القراءة والمشاركة والنقاش. انضموا إلينا في جلستنا القادمة واختبروا معنا، ماذا ستنتج بنات أفكارنا عندما نضع أمامها سؤالاً ووقتاً محدداً للإجابة؟ !!!! ننتظركم على الوقت قبل أن نبدأ بنشاطاتنا، لذلك رجاءً تحديث الحضور (RSVP) قبل اللقاء بيوم !!!! أهلاً بكم محبي وممارسي هواية الكتابة باللغة العربية! ندعوكم للانضمام إلينا في لقائنا القادم: سنبدأ بجولة تعارف سريعة، ثم نقوم بأحد تمارين الكتابة الإبداعية الممتعة، وفي النهاية سنفتح المجال لمن يريد مشاركتنا نصاً كتبه أو فكرة لمشروعه، لنناقشها ونتبادل الآراء بموضوعية. بغض النظر عن مستواك الحالي، حتى وإن لم تكتب من قبل - لا تتردد في الانضمام إلينا! الهدف من هذه اللقاءات هو خلق مساحة للكتابة ومشاركة التجربة مع الآخرين، لتنمي هواية وعادة الكتابة. كل ما تحتاجه هو الرغبة وبعض الوقت. (وورقة وقلم أو لابتوب) لا تترددوا في التواصل معي إن كان لديكم أي أسئلة أو اقتراحات نور

Ditch the old book club, where everyone has to read the same book...this is better! It works like this: Bring your own book. Come chat, have some tea or coffee, get to know your neighbors. Then we quietly read together, side by side, for about one hour, each one reading their own book, and afterwards we talk with each other about what we are reading. The usual agenda: - Arrival and introduction (~20 minutes) - ⁠Silent reading (~1 hour) - ⁠Discussion (~30-40 minutes) - ⁠Join us for a bite at a local restaurant afterwards, if you like! You may read in any language, you may read any book. We are a group of international residents of Berlin from many different countries, of all ages, and we converse in English. We welcome you! No registration needed – the event is donation based. All funds support the Offenes Wohnzimmer.

Let's read together on another Sunday morning. Agenda: 10:30-11:00 Arrival, ordering drinks, getting to know each other 11:00-12:00 Reading together 12:00-13:00 Share reading experience There is no books assigned. Just bring whatever you are reading for now. Please sign up only when you can join the event. Hope you will enjoy it there!

Many have started to draw in our event actually. **Structure** A. Warmup Phase: We pose to each other for 1 minute. B. Main Phase: We pose to each other for 10 minutes. C. Showcase Phase: We show some of the drawings we did to each other. **Who We Are** Creative Sessions is an art events group located in Berlin. **Is it Free?** The event is free of charge. It is advisable to get a drink though. This is a cafe, we need to have at least half of the people on each table with a drink. They accept only cash and most hot drinks cost from 2.50 to 3.50. **How to help or donate?** The event is provided for free but many people help this be a regular thing. We also need people to volunteer and help for minor tasks like the serving of the drinks or cleaning up. Just send us a message.

Join our **CATAN** Meetup to play, socialize, and enjoy this classic board game. Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player. Expect fun, friendly games, plenty of laughter, and the chance to make new friends. This is a relaxed, casual meetup: **no hardcore competition**, just friendly rivalry. 👉 **Please RSVP only if you plan to attend.** **👉 Most people on the waiting list would be moved to the “Going” list.** **How to Play (Quick Guide):** *** Setup: **Build the island with hex tiles, place number tokens, roads, settlements, and give each player starting resources.** *Turn order: **On your turn, roll two dice to produce resources, then trade and build.*** Resource production: **Players gain resources (wood, brick, sheep, wheat, ore) from tiles next to their settlements/cities when the tile’s number is rolled.** *Robber: **If a 7 is rolled, players with too many cards discard half; move the robber to block a tile and steal a card. *NOTE: Friendly robber rule: We play with the friendly robber rule, which means that the robber cannot be placed on a player with less than 3 points.**** Trading: **Trade resources with other players or with the bank (usually 4:1, better with ports).** *Building: **Spend resources to build roads, settlements, cities, or buy development cards.*** Victory points: **Earn points from settlements, cities, development cards, Longest Road, and Largest Army.** *Winning: **The first player to reach 10 victory points on their turn wins. *2-Hours-Max: If no one reaches 10 points by the end of the second hour, the player with the most points wins. This keeps our game capped at **two hours**. ⏰️ **Our Game Set-Up & Attendance Policy:** 1. We will have two CATAN sets available for up to six players each, assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. 2. Since each game takes a considerable amount of time, arriving after a game has already started may make it difficult to place you at a table. 3. In such cases, you may need to place your first two settlements on the remaining available parts of the map—if space allows. 4. Please make sure to update your RSVP in advance. Failure to do so may cause unnecessary delays for everyone at the start. 5. Not showing up without notice will result in being blacklisted for at least one future meetup.
