KREATIV UNTAPPED #1 Storytelling Untapped w/ Ben Sauer, A hands-on Session

**\>\>\> Registration takes place on Luma: [https://luma.com/yp90isjd](https://luma.com/yp90isjd)** \*\*\* ## **Welcome to KREATIV UNTAPPED #1 Storytelling Untapped w/ Ben Sauer** ## **A hands-on session. No slides. Just your stories.** We couldn't be more excited to tap into this with you at **[Thoughtworks Berlin](https://www.thoughtworks.com/en-de/about-us/locations/berlin)**. Follow us on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/kreativ-untapped) and [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/kreativuntapped) *** **KREATIV UNTAPPED** is a creative playground born in Berlin – and we're kicking off with the discipline that sits at the heart of every other one: **storytelling.** Because here's what AI can't replace: the human desire to create. Creativity is what makes us uniquely human — it's a muscle, and like any muscle, it needs training. Most of us have stopped. **KREATIV UNTAPPED** is where we change that — through hands-on sessions with working practitioners across visual arts, tactile crafts, narrative & sound, and spatial & performative disciplines. **This evening** is about words, voice, and presence. In a world full of decks, dashboards and screens, we've forgotten how to just… tell a story. This evening is a practice in putting the slides away and using the oldest tools we have — your voice, your hands, your story. **Expect a short provocation from Ben, a hands-on session with a sketching element to flex that creative muscle, a round of group sharing, and time to actually meet the people in the room.** **Who's this for?** Anyone with a story to tell — and the willingness to tell it without a slide deck. No job title. No prior experience. Just the willingness to tap in. *Creativity untapped. Connection for real.* *** **About [Ben Sauer](https://bensauer.net)** Ben Sauer is a speaker, author, and coach who teaches the art of strategic storytelling — and the perfect person to launch this series. He's the author of **Death by Screens: How to Present High-Stakes Digital Design Work and Live to Tell the Tale** — a go-to resource for designers, product people and creatives who want to stop boring their audiences and actually be heard. Ben spent years as a UX designer at Clearleft (one of the first UX agencies in the world, working with the BBC, Penguin Random House and Tesco), then as Director of Product for AI at Babylon Health, leading a team of 100 on products worth $100m+. He has trained teams at NASA, Amazon, and the BBC, and spoken at The Economist, NEXT Conference, UX London, VW + Audi and dozens more — frequently as the audience's top-rated speaker. His background doesn't fit neatly in a single box: comedy, software, English literature. Which is exactly why he's so good at this. *** **Agenda** * **18:30 – 19:00** · Check-in * **19:00 – 19:15** · Intro – what KREATIV UNTAPPED is and why we're here * **19:15 – 20:15** · Hands-on storytelling session with Ben Sauer – including a sketching element to support your storytelling and flex that creative muscle * **20:15 – 20:45** · Group sharing round – share your story, your sketch, your takeaway * **20:45 – 20:50** · Wrap-up & what's next * **20:50 – 21:30** · Networking *** **Donation-based event** This first edition is donation-based — give what feels right. Your contribution supports building KREATIV UNTAPPED into something lasting. **Please note:** if you can't make it on the day, or decide to cancel, donations are non-refundable. By booking, you're not just paying for a seat — you're backing the spirit of what we're building. Thank you for that. *** **A heads-up on photos & video** We'll be taking photos and potentially videos throughout the evening to capture the spirit of the session and share what KREATIV UNTAPPED is all about. By attending, you agree that visual material featuring you may be used for promotional purposes — on our social channels, website, newsletter, and future event communications. If you'd prefer not to be photographed or filmed, just let us know on arrival and we'll make sure to keep you out of the frame. *** **Where** 📍 **Thoughtworks Berlin** Revaler Str. 31 (Event Space), 10245 Berlin (2 minutes from Ostkreuz) *** See you there. ***Creativity untapped.

Nature Journaling For Birdwatchers

For those who love watching birds and wish to capture their observations on paper: Your workshop guide Maximiliána Martišková is a professional llustrator and graphic designer, bird enthusiast and passionate photographer of life. Dive into a world of unexpected details and joy as you attend her popular workshop series. Nature Journaling is designed to help you turn your field observations into confident drawings, even if you’ve never drawn before. The course leads you from basics of gesture drawing that allows you to express bird movement, through proportions to style, providing you with everything you need to keep a personal birdwatching journal – instead of just filling up pre-printed pages. What you will take away: – a sketchbook full of studies, notes and experiments that lead you to explore your favourite journaling style – a personal system for noting down behaviour, colour and observations – confidence in creating lively and authentic sketches outdoors – community of birdwatchers with the same goals Structure: The workshop takes place Saturdays, 10:00 - 13:00.
