ENGLISH! WEDNESDAY / The Central House - Philosophy Meetup: 19:30h - 21h
ENGLISH! WEDNESDAY / The Central House - Philosophy Meetup: 19:30h - 21h
Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup! Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you. • WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT? At every meetup we have a discussion using Socratic method: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method) We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. • WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: * What ideals are worth dying for? * Why are we never satisfied? * Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? * Is identity necessary? * How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) * What is friendship? • WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP? Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory. Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue. The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

!ENGLISH! THURSDAY / Opera Cafe - Philosophy Meetup: 19:30h - 21:00
Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup! Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you. • WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT? At every meetup we have a discussion using Socratic method: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. • WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: * What ideals are worth dying for? * Why are we never satisfied? * Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? * Is identity necessary? * How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) * What is friendship? • WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP? Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory. Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue. The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

UN MUSEU ÚNIC: VIMBODÍ, MUSEU DEL VIDRE
UN MUSEU ÚNIC: VIMBODÍ, MUSEU DEL VIDRE
*«A un porró sense vi, digues-li vidre»* Ep!!! Que aquest no serà el cas! Perque us hem preparat una visita molt interessant i curiosa, a **un museu, únic a Catalunya**. Si, estem parlant de **“El museu del vidre”** al poble de **Vimbodí**! Així que aprofitem un dijous per apropar-nos a Vimbodí i gaudir d’aquest poble tan especial! *Pero primer parlem de la història del vidre a Vimbodí:* El primer forn de vidre documentat i datat el 1188, dins del terme municipal de Vimbodí i Poblet, era el del vidrier Guillem, situat als voltants de la font de Nerola, que va contribuir a l’inici de la construcció del monestir de Poblet. És a *principis del s. XX* quan la producció del vidre a Vimbodí es converteix en la indústria més important del municipi, s’instal·len diferents forns de vidre a la vila i arriben mestres vidriers d’arreu de Catalunya *(Fulleda, Mallorca, Ordal, Arenys de Mar,… )*. La indústria del vidre de Vimbodí va funcionar al llarg de mig segle. Es fabricaven objectes per a diferents usos: *industrial, religiós, decoratiu, agrícola i especialment d’ús domèstic*. Es feien principalment *porrons, setrills i garrafes de vidre català verd i blanc*, i en menys quantitat *càntirs, salers, abeuradors de canaris, ratetes i altres peces d’artesania*. Després de cinquanta anys d’indústria del vidre, van desaparèixer definitivament les fàbriques i avui queda el seu record al **Museu i Forn del Vidre**. Doncs, ens apropem a Vimbodí per fer una visita al seu museu, un museu que recull tot el patrimoni d’aquesta indústria artesanal, de gran arrelament al municipi, i pot presumir de ser un dels **tres únics museus d’aquest tipus que hi ha a la Península**. **Farem una visita guiada** on podrem veure estudis i gràfics diacrònics i un repàs històric de les diverses tècniques emprades. També disposa d’un espai d’audiovisuals, on es projecten documentals i s’organitzen tallers oberts al públic per conèixer aquesta feina artesanal de més a prop i participar-ne dels secrets. Aquest museu aplega tot un seguit de peces de les característiques i els usos més diversos i que van sorgir del que havia estat l’antiga fàbrica de vidre de Vimbodí. Al marge del capítol merament expositiu, el museu també té una planta baixa on, sota el format de taller, **un mestre vidrier recrea detalladament l’ancestral procés de fabricació i de treball del vidre**. Així que de ben segurt podrem veure en directe com un mestre vidrer dona forma a aquest material tan especial! Ep! Pero aixó no es tot! També hem reservat restaurant, **un lloc idoni per dinar i acabar una jornada rememorant els antics oficis artesans!** **CONSULTEU MENÚ I PREU A LA PART FINAL DE LA DESCRIPCIÓ DE L’ACTIVITAT.** *A on? Quan?* **DATA :** 11/06/2026 – **HORA :** 08:00h – **LLOC (NOU PUNT!) :** CARRER TRAFALGAR, 56, 08010, BCN **TORNADA:** Aprox. 18:30 **PREU:** 49€ **PREU VIP:** 46,55€ ✔️ Que inclou? ✔ Bus privat ✔ Visita guiada museu. ✔ Demostració artesanal de mestre vidrer. ✔ Guies locals i entrades ✔ Acompanyament guia Cultura i Oci Barcelona ✔ Assegurança d’accidents i RC ✔ IVA 21% ❌ No inclou: **DINAR A RESTAURANT** (Dinar a Restaurant “HOSTATGERIA DE POBLET”: 30€) **MENÚ RESTAURANT “HOSTATGERIA DE POBLET”** *Consta de tres primers a elegir, tres segons, postres, aigua, vi, pa, café.* Preu: 30€ (IVA inclòs) *\*Més endavant penjarem el menú detallat, actualment estan canviant la carta del restaurant i ens passaran ben aviat el menú definitiu.* *COM RESERVAR PLAÇA?* ✔ Et pots apuntar directament per la nostra pagina principal ([https://culturaiocibarcelona.com/activitats/vimbodi-museu-del-vidre/](https://culturaiocibarcelona.com/activitats/vimbodi-museu-del-vidre/)). ✔ A la mateixa pagina pots realitzar el pagament a traves d’una plataforma segura amb tarjeta, PayPal o Bizum.

Cuento sobre Mama Africa y el Apartheid
Cuento sobre Mama Africa y el Apartheid
**Cuento sobre Mama Africa y el Apartheid** Miriam Makeba, conocida como Mamá África, fue una de las activistas y cantantes más importantes en la lucha internacional contra el apartheid.

Trails & Ales! Chestnut Ridge Metro Park / BrewDog DogTap
Trails & Ales! Chestnut Ridge Metro Park / BrewDog DogTap
**History** [Chestnut Ridge Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/chestnut-ridge/) is historically significant because it sits on a 300-million-year-old outcropping of Blackhand sandstone. Geographically recognized as the very first foothill of the Appalachian Mountains, the ridge rises 1,116 feet above sea level. Long before European settlement, the land served as a sacred site for ancient civilizations. The park contains the Old Maid's Orchard Mound, an eight-foot-tall burial mound constructed by the Adena culture between 1000 B.C. and 100 B.C. This ancient landmark has remained largely intact and is now protected on the National Register of Historic Places. The documented modern history of the land began with an official survey conducted by Ebenezer Buckingham in 1801. Original land deeds of sale from this period notably bear the signatures of United States Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In the 1830s, Irish laborers arrived at the ridge to quarry its rich Blackhand sandstone. The blocks they hewed were used to build the crucial locks for the nearby Ohio and Erie Canal. Remnants of this early sandstone quarrying operation can still be spotted by sharp-eyed hikers along the modern trails. Agricultural transformation defined the ridge throughout the mid-to-late 19th century. Settlers discovered that the high elevation created a natural air flow that prevented late-season frost damage to crops. Extensive fruit orchards were planted across the slopes between 1860 and 1880. One notable orchard was established by John Wagner, a Spanish-American War veteran who chose the ridge specifically for its proximity to the bustling Columbus market. The park's current name pays homage to the massive American chestnut trees that once dominated the ridgeline before a devastating ecological blight wiped them out in the early 20th century. The conservation story of the modern 486-acre park began in March 1962. The Metro Parks board announced land acquisition plans to block developers from building a residential housing development called Chestnut Heights. Director-Secretary Walter A. Tucker advocated heavily for the purchase, citing the ridge's immense value as a scenic overlook for central Ohio. The district systematically purchased multiple agricultural parcels over the next two decades. After operating strictly as undeveloped farmland through the 1970s, Chestnut Ridge Metro Park officially opened to the public on December 18, 1988. In recent decades, the park has evolved from a quiet hiking spot into a premier regional destination for outdoor sports. A major turning point occurred in 2010 when the Central Ohio Mountain Biking Organization (COMBO) partnered with the park district to develop new infrastructure. Volunteers worked extensively to construct a single-track mountain bike trail, which officially opened in October 2011. An expert gravity and flow trail featuring advanced jumps was later integrated into the loop in 2016. Today, the park successfully balances its deep ancient, industrial, and agricultural history with active recreation. **Map of the Park** Here is a [map of Chestnut Ridge](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/CHR_map_1980px_2026.jpg). **Summary** For this event, we will hike the Ridge, Meadows, and Homesite Trails, and Law's Lane, which is unmarked on some maps. None of these trails is individually very long, so we will hike a few permutations and loops until we get in 4-5 miles. The hike will be moderately strenuous. **Where We'll Meet** Drive to the rearmost picnic area at the back of the park. There's a latrine here, but there's no water fountain here or anywhere else at Chestnut Ridge. I strongly recommend you bring some water of your own, at least for after the hike. Cell service at the park is spotty, although your GPS will get you there just fine. The map pin I've provided here is exactly where we'll be meeting and should be able to be used directly in Google Maps, although Chestnut Ridge isn't big and you're unlikely to get lost here. **After the Hike** Afterward, we'll head over to [BrewDog DogTap](https://drink.brewdog.com/usa/brewdog-dogtap-columbus) for [drinks](https://usa.brewdog.com/pages/brewdog-lineup) and [food](https://usa.brewdog.com/cdn/shop/files/DogTap_Menu_2025_65e1ff8b-97d4-4f26-80f1-68321d482025.pdf?v=17356939232910340498). They also have an outdoor area that's extremely popular. I've had their burgers and their pizza, and I think they're both very good. I also really like their [Cold Beer](https://usa.brewdog.com/products/cold-beer-2024) (that's its actual name), which is their American light lager. BrewDog's actual address is [96 Gender Rd, Canal Winchester, OH 43110](https://www.google.com/maps/place/96+Gender+Rd,+Canal+Winchester,+OH+43110/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88387c06afa21a85:0x804c611d373d8c54?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111), and they have a large, free parking lot. We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks.
