Practical Philosophy Meetup - Barcelona 🇪🇸
**🏛️ 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/LAtygOTKzmf1SnQKzJl68Z), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going.
When groups get bigger than 6-8 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:
* 19:30-19:45 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the official start.
* 19:45-19:55 - 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.
* 19:55-21:15 - 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.
* 21:15-21:30 - 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.
* 21:30 - 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! At the Barcelona group, we often meet in a friends house. In this case, we ask that everyone bring a snack or a drink to share!
**💛 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/LAtygOTKzmf1SnQKzJl68Z).
* **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/LAtygOTKzmf1SnQKzJl68Z) 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 CLUB - Philosophy, everywhere. ✨**
We started in Practical Philosophy back in 2021 and there are now 20+ chapters in over 15 countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️

TechTribe: Tech Speed Debating @ Factorial 🚀
**Ready for networking that goes beyond the basics?**
For this TechTribe, we’re trying something different: **Tech Speed Debating**.
🗣️ What is **Tech Speed Debating**? It is a friendly, fast-paced activity where we explore different opinions on tech. Don't worry, you don't need to be an expert! The goal is to exchange ideas, hear how others think, and get to know the community better through the topics we're passionate about.
We’ve all been to networking events where you get stuck on "What do you do?" and "Where do you work?" This format is designed to skip the small talk. Inspired by community events like [Aknostic](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aknostic_aknostic-techcommunity-keit-activity-7303782864733556737-_EA0/) and [Dutch Cloud Native Day 2025](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/pacobernab%C3%A9_cloud-cloudnative-opensource-activity-7341360431699017729-Mhnt/), we’ve gathered a list of "spicy" tech topics 🌶️ to discuss for you: general open questions about how we work, the tools we use, and where the industry is headed.
**ℹ️ How does it work?** You’ll be paired up for 10 minutes to chat about a specific topic. There are no wrong answers! Whether you’ve been an engineer for 20 years or you’re currently transitioning into tech, your unique background brings a fresh lens to the conversation. Once the timer goes off, you’ll switch partners and topics. It’s a fast, fun way to meet the tribe and see the tech world through someone else's eyes.

🌜 Slow Down Mondays — A Yin Yoga Practice for All Levels
**Yin Yoga in Poble Sec, Barcelona – Weekly Classes in English with Julia**
🧘🏼♀️ **When:** Every Monday \| 7:00 – 8:30 PM
**Where:** Next to Metro - Poble Sec, Barcelona
✨ **What to expect:**
A calm, guided practice where you slow down, reconnect with your body, and leave the week behind. No pressure, no experience needed — just you, your mat, and a little time for yourself.
✨ **What is Yin Yoga — and why try it?**
Most movement we know is active: muscles working, pace picking up.
Yin Yoga is the opposite.
You settle into a position, let your muscles soften, and simply stay — for a few minutes at a time.
What happens in that stillness is surprisingly profound.
This practice isn't about flexibility goals or perfect poses. It's an invitation to notice what your body actually needs in this moment — to listen instead of push, to meet your limits with curiosity instead of force.
What you might take home: a quieter mind, a body that feels more like yours again, and a little more ease in your week.
🧘 Suitable for all levels — no experience needed. Mats and props provided.
✨ **Class Pricing (starting December):**
• Drop-in: 17€
• 5-Class Pass: 65€ (valid 3 months)
• 10-Class Pass: 125€ (valid 5 months)
💳 Payment Bizum, Revolut, Bank Transfer or cash.
📌 **Cancellation Policy:**
To keep the group small and intimate, please cancel at least 24 hours before class.
Late cancellations or no-shows count as used for pass holders, or the full drop-in fee applies.
*If you cancel after 24 hours, you’ll receive a sequence of yin postures to practice at home.*
📞 **Reserve your spot:**
+34 617 158 103 - Please reserve your spot via WhatsApp to confirm attendance — even if you've already signed up on Meetup.
😌 I’m happy to answer any questions and help you choose the best option for your practice.
Looking forward to practicing with you!
Julia 🙏🏼

Branding in UX/UI. Designing digital experiences from brand to behavior.
A hands-on workshop on how to translate brand strategy and identity into coherent, meaningful UX/UI design decisions.
This workshop explores how branding and UX/UI intersect, and how designers can move beyond aesthetics to create digital experiences that feel coherent, intentional, and emotionally aligned with a brand.
Rather than treating branding as a visual layer added at the end, the session reframes it as a decision-making system that shapes how interfaces look, behave, and communicate. Students will learn how brand values, personality, and tone influence visual choices, interaction patterns, and microcopy, and how to apply this thinking in real UX/UI projects.
The workshop combines a concise theoretical foundation with practical exercises, helping students develop a clear mental model they can reuse in future projects.
**Who will benefit from this masterclass:**
* UX/UI students
* Designers who struggle to connect branding with interface design
* Anyone who wants their digital work to feel less generic and more intentional
**Key topics:**
* Why “good-looking” interfaces often feel generic
* How branding actually works in digital products
* The hidden role of emotion in UX/UI design
* A practical framework to design consistent, on-brand interfaces
* Turning abstract brand ideas into concrete UI decisions
* Avoiding common UX mistakes caused by over-styling or under-branding
* Designing digital products that feel intentional, not assembled
By the end of the workshop, you will have a stronger foundation for designing digital products that are not only usable, but also expressive, consistent, and meaningful.
**What to Prepare / Bring**
* A laptop
* Access to Figma (or similar design tool)
* Basic UX/UI knowledge
* No prior branding knowledge required.
**Your instructor:**
**Ivi Monteys**
**Brand Strategist at PÁNICO ESTUDIO**
I’m a branding and visual designer working at the intersection of strategy, identity, and digital design. My work focuses on helping brands translate their core values and personality into clear, coherent visual systems and digital experiences.
I work with global projects, companies, and organizations on branding, web design, and digital identity, with a strong emphasis on clarity, consistency, and emotional coherence. My approach is pragmatic: reducing complexity, cutting noise, and turning abstract ideas into concrete design decisions.
This workshop reflects how I approach real projects bridging branding and UX/UI through behavior, intention, and design logic rather than trends or decoration.
Hope in the Age of AI: How Your Design System Just Might Save You
**UX Hub** is thrilled to welcome you to an event hosted by [Docplanner](https://www.docplanner.com) at their beautiful office in Poblenou, in the heart of Barcelona's innovation district.
**Hope in the Age of AI: How Your Design System Just Might Save You**
As AI accelerates the pace of production, the fear of being "out-paced" is real. But designers already hold the key to the future: the Design System. Far from just a library of components, a robust Design System sits at the critical intersection of design and code—the exact language AI speaks. In this talk, we’ll explore why the foundations you’ve already built are the ultimate launchpad for AI-driven scale and speed. Learn how to pivot your design system from a static resource into an automated engine, ensuring that as we scale at the speed of light, Design remains the pilot, not just a passenger.
**Speaker**
[Nikki Plyem](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikkiplyem/) is Design Manager of Product Platform at Docplanner. With over 15 years in the design industry, Nikki leads the design in the Product Platform team at Docplanner, where she focuses on building the systems and services that allow design to scale globally. Her career spans award-winning agencies and high-growth Fintech, but her unique approach to design systems is rooted in her earlier life in New York City. Before pivoting to design, Nikki spent years as a professional improviser with a background in Theater and Sociology—disciplines that taught her how to navigate complex human systems and collaborate in real-time.
**Hosts**
This event is hosted by [Docplanner](https://www.docplanner.com), a global healthcare platform focused on making access to care simpler, from discovery to booking. They design tools for both patients and clinics, shaping how millions of people experience healthcare every day.

🍺 Agentic Coding Meetup — Devs & Drinks
No slides. No speaker. No agenda. Just developers talking shop over a cold one.
This is an informal gathering for engineers, founders, and builders who are deep in the agentic coding trenches — using tools like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, OpenCode, or rolling their own agent pipelines. Come swap what's actually working, what blew up in production, and what you're excited about right now.
We'll be at Barcelona, and the format is simple: show up, grab a drink, and share what you know. Bring a laptop if you want to show something, but it's not required.
WhatsApp Group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GVS0bHMPIzID3Ch9lt6YsU?mode=gi_t
**What we talk about (but not limited to):**
*Agentic coding workflows and tooling
- Prompt engineering & context engineering in practice
*Multi-agent architectures and orchestration
- AI-native product building
*What's broken in the ecosystem and how you're working around it
**Who should come:** Developers, technical founders, and AI engineers who build with (or on top of) LLMs. All levels welcome — senior devs with war stories and curious beginners both make the conversation better.
**Format:** Open conversation, round-table style. Everyone teaches, everyone learns.

**Juan Moya: Why Spatial UX Remains Deeply Human**
AI can help us make XR apps functional and faster than ever —but it’s human perception and empathy that can make them memorable and enjoyable
**Kelvin: Harron: Phones Away, Glasses On! The Making of DUMBO Spatial Guide**

**19:00 Front-end testing at Preply: Shifting left towards component testing with Storybook**
Speakers: Lukasz Rados and Dominika Szukala, both Senior Frontend Engineers at Preply
Preply invested a lot into E2E testing in the past, but this approach wasn’t scaling well for us. With the advent of the company rebrand and the new engineering excellence culture, Preply needed a new approach to front-end testing. We (Dominika and Lukasz) embarked on a project to apply the new Engineering Excellence principles to front-end testing, providing the tools and fixing the current context to steer the whole company toward component tests.
**19:25** **AI vs. App Engineer. Claude vs. Stack Overflow,**
**or How an Animation Task Can Change the Perception of Your Work**
Speaker: Arthur Repin, App Engineer at Preply
I had a task, that initially looked like a routine change. Normally, I would handle it the usual way: check the documentation, browse Stack Overflow, try a few naive solutions, iterate, and get it done.
But not this time.
This is a story about how a wrong estimate can actually pay off later by saving time on future tasks. It’s a journey through misjudged effort, shifting approaches, unexpected struggles, and the lessons learned along the way.
It also includes a deep technical dive into React Native animations, exploring complex animation patterns and why achieving smooth performance, especially on Android, is still a challenge.
This talk is for engineers who want a deeper understanding of React Native animations and a reminder of why engineers still matter in the age of AI.
**19:50: Drinks and networking!**
