\>\>\>\>\>\>\> All Info and registration here: https://interbeing\.ch/living\-diversity/ **– *Understand our differences and connect in conflict* –** In this course, we explore together how we can be with each other in our differences. We learn how to communicate more effectively with our loved ones, colleagues and even with people who share opposite opinions. * How can I feel understood, even when you see things differently? * How can I connect with people who think, feel, or live differently from me? * How to navigate conflict without losing myself or the other? * How to meet diversity with curiosity instead of fear? Before connecting with others, we get to know ourselves: Find out what is behind our triggers and judgments, identify our feelings and needs. This inner clarity strengthens our self empowerment and the ability to meet others on eye level instead of betraying ourself, giving up our wishes, or dominating the conversation. We learn to better understand each other in our differences and invite cooperation. We explore movements beyond polarizing debates, while staying true to ourselves, so we can belong a bit more rather than merely fit in. ## We research how to: * Listen more deeply to ourself and gain inner clarity about our needs and what really matters to us * Realise when we need self care before connecting with others * Find inner clarity when we’re triggered * Stand honestly for our needs, express our wishes and invite cooperation * Grow capacity in understanding other viewpoints * See the beautiful messages behind our judgments and the judgments of others * Be in conflict with care and connection **Facilitation Style:** During each session, we offer theoretical input, live demonstrations, group discussions, and two to three guided exercises. We share insights and tips inspired by Nonviolent Communication (NVC) by [Yoram Mosenzon](https://www.connecting2life.net/trainer/yoram-mosenzon/) and Marshall Rosenberg. But foremost we invite you to find your own way. To develop your own communication style with your inner parts and your fellow humans. Part of the sessions will be shaped by the wishes and interests of the group. We might offer themed evenings that dive deeper into specific areas of diversity where staying connected can be difficult (such as race, gender, sexual orientation, neurodivergence, mental health, illness and disability, diet, relationship styles, cultural background, political views, and our ways of relating to money and consumption,…) or explore more depth some conflict situation. You’re warmly invited to bring your personal situations so we can work with concrete, lived experiences. \>\>\>\>\>\>\> All Info and registration here: https://interbeing\.ch/living\-diversity/

**Update: We’re fully booked and running a waitlist.** Get ready for the 21st edition of our community event for language AI and NLP experts and enthusiasts – with a **NEW LOCATION** at [Riffraff Kino/Bar](https://maps.app.goo.gl/g61d4Zmmjj7iCcu59)! 🧠 **3 straight-to-the-point talks** by experienced experts 🥂 **Casual networking** over drinks and snacks 📍 **NEW location:** [Riffraff Kino/Bar](https://maps.app.goo.gl/g61d4Zmmjj7iCcu59), Neugasse 57, 8005 Zurich 🎟 **Capacity:** 100 seats **Schedule** 6:30 pm – Doors open and registration 7:00 pm – Presentations 🔹 **Overcorrection: Why LLMs Can't *Just* Proofread – and How to Fix It** *[Heejin Do](https://www.linkedin.com/in/heejin-do-969bb3231/), Postdoctoral Fellow at ETH AI Center* LLMs often over-edit text, sacrificing original meaning for fluency. This talk introduces PoCO, a two-stage method that harnesses 'intentional overcorrection' to catch more errors while using smaller models to restore accuracy and precision. **🔹 Why Translation AI Fails (Even Though It Works)** *[Christian Weih-Sum](https://www.linkedin.com/in/christianweihsum/), Managing Director at foryouandyourcustomers* The quality of modern translation AI is no longer the main issue. In practice, deployments fall short not because of models, but because of processes, roles, and decision-making. This impulse explores the non-technical challenges that decide whether translation AI becomes a competitive advantage—or another missed opportunity. **🔹 Privacy vs Utility: The Anonymisation Tradeoff in Language AI Workflows** *[Michael Anthony Mazourik](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mazourik/), Founder and CEO at AI4Privacy* Every AI workflow leaks data it shouldn't. But most anonymisation tools either destroy context or miss entities entirely. To tackle this, AI4privacy built p5y, an open-source privacy framework modelled on i18n, that treats privacy as a language-level translation task. The talk covers reversible masking, synthetic identity generation, and policy-driven access control in production translation pipelines. No theory, just live examples of what actually works. 8:00 pm – Drinks reception -- 📸 Please note: Photos will be taken at the meetup and may be used on Supertext’s communication channels.

Ergänzende Infos: Salsa! Kein anderer Tanz hat in den letzten Jahren eine derart steile Erfolgskurve aufs Parkett gelegt. Die Salsa weckt Sehnsüchte nach der Karibik und versprüht wahre Lebensfreude. Salsa wird paarweise getanzt. Ein Partner führt, der andere wird geführt. Bei uns werden hauptsächlich Kurse im kubanischen Stil unterrichtet, der Salsa Cubana, welcher seinen Ursprung in Kuba hat. Die kubanische Salsa wirkt eher spielerisch, rhythmisch und lebendig und setzt sich aus unterschiedlichen lateinamerikanischen Rhythmen und Tänzen zusammen. Das wesentliche Merkmal des kubanischen Stils sind die Drehungen des Tanzpaares um einen gemeinsamen Mittelpunkt und das Kernstück des Salsa Cubana, die Rueda de Casino. Der Name Rueda rührt daher, dass alle beteiligten Paare einen Kreis bilden, wobei sie jeweils synchron die gleichen Figuren tanzen. Bedingt durch Partnerwechsel, die jeweils zu den getanzten Figuren gehören, dreht sich die Rueda bzw. das Rad. Der Kurs für blutige Anfänger oder für Leute, die sich mit den Basic-Elementen noch unsicher fühlen.

Join three of Switzerland's sharpest comedy imports, all the way from the UK, as they navigate life post-Brexit in the land of cheese, chocolate, and punctuality. Expect a side-splitting evening of biting wit, dark satire, and self-deprecating British humour, as these three exiles attempt to make sense of their Swiss existence while grappling with the baggage of their homeland. **Tickets: [https://eventfrog.ch/brexiles/](https://eventfrog.ch/brexiles/)** Do all British people have terrible teeth? Are they all actually addicted to tea? Are the royal family actually peadophile lizards? Does anyone actually care anymore? Come along for answers to these questions and more, and pose your own to our panel of cultural experts\* to win a free drink! \*mid-aged comedians who used to read the news in the early 2000s Featuring: **[Harry Fücks](https://www.instagram.com/harryf.cks/)** is a half-German who grew up in the UK, where he witnessed too many late trains provoking wristwatch-staring fits from his German genes. He later moved to Switzerland, the last place in Europe where trains run on time, to avoid constant triggering. Now over 50, a single dad, and failing to live up to his name, Harry uses comedy as his coping strategy. **[Jack Roberts](https://www.instagram.com/jackrobertscomedy/)** comes from a long line of pale, broke, miserable northern bastards. Growing up in Manchester he is also exceptionally cool with impeccable taste in music and football. As difficult to understand in English as he is in German, he endeavours to speak clearly about all that is troubling him - join him for crazy antics, high jinks and fun! **[Shawn Jay](https://www.instagram.com/shawnjaycomedy/)** is a stand-up comedian, writer, and wandering vagabond philosopher who escaped the grim north of England in his early 20s and never looked back. He has toured all over Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and Europe, including a full run at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival where he premiered his solo show 'A Fun Guide to Nihilism'. Now a regular on the European circuit, his unique brand of thought-provoking humour swings from silly to surreal, tickling your funny bones as well as fingering your brain. With over 20 years collectively in the biz, this show is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face, and whether you love or hate the British, there is something for everyone. ​ **Reparations Spot**: Each show will feature a guest comedian from a country which was formerly colonised by the British. This is our way of personally apologising for the hundreds of years of murder, subjugation, and terror inflicted upon the peoples of the planet. We hope you agree that we are even now. **Tickets: [https://eventfrog.ch/brexiles/](https://eventfrog.ch/brexiles/)**

‼️ SOLO PARA MUJERES La inscripcion para este día informativo es vinculante. Hay dos horarios: de 10:00 a 12:00 y de 16:00 a 18:00. Inscripcion via Email: belen-sancho@outlook.com o via Wahtsapp Amigas Hispanas. Maria Belen Sancho ([Amigas hispanohablantes en Suiza](‎Open this link to join my WhatsApp Group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/BlzRIh1oN1e4h9qIPEI6Vx?mode=hq1tswi)) Este encuentro nació con la intención de escucharnos entre mujeres desde los temas que más nos unen y nos atraviesan. Desde la intimidad de una conversación, sentadas en el sofá de un restaurante, deseo abrir un espacio cuidado donde podamos reencontrarnos como mujeres. Un espacio para mirar nuestra relación con nosotras mismas, con nuestra imagen de mujer, y comenzar a sanarla. Abordaremos temas que muchas veces han sido tabú: la sexualidad, la menstruación, el cuerpo femenino y nuestra forma de habitarnos. Un recorrido para deshacer miedos, soltar vergüenzas y volver a escuchar el cuerpo desde lo que realmente nos hace bien. El encuentro del 18.04 es un evento gratuito informativo que abre la puerta a un proceso de cuatro encuentros en el bosque, de mayo a junio. (Modalidad presencial/ formato Retreat:pago) En este recorrido trabajaremos con medicina ayurvédica, nutrición consciente, cuidado de la piel y el entendimiento de nuestro tipo energético y nuestra naturaleza femenina, sin importar en qué ciclo o etapa de vida nos encontremos. Este espacio está abierto a mujeres desde los 17 hasta los 50+ años. Un encuentro para honrarnos en todas nuestras fases. El 18.04 podrás conocerme, conocer mi método, mi forma de acompañar y sostener grupos, y sobre todo conocerte a ti misma desde otro lugar. Será una invitación a preguntarte si estás dispuesta a iniciar un viaje de regreso a ti: a limpiar tu corona, a caminar descalza, a dejar atrás los zapatos heredados y reconectarte con tu feminidad desde tu propia mirada. Con mucho cariño Belén 🌸

What if the way we speak—to our families, colleagues, and communities—could actively bring out the best in others? Join us for an elevated conversation on how to incorporate the language of virtues into our daily interactions, inspired by the work of The Virtues Project. This approach centers on recognizing and naming the positive qualities—such as courage, kindness, integrity, and perseverance—that exist within each person and moment. Together, we’ll explore how using the language of virtues can: * Strengthen relationships and build trust * Shift conversations from reactive to intentional * Encourage growth, accountability, and mutual respect * Create more positive, purpose-driven environments at home and at work Through discussion, examples, and shared experiences, you’ll gain practical ways to integrate this language into everyday moments—from giving feedback to navigating conflict. Come join a different kind of conversation – one that welcomes every perspective in a search for the underlying truths that unite us all – on what we can do through our use of words to contribute to a better world. Join us for an open and respectful conversation where participants can share perspectives, experiences, and insights. Whether you come to speak or simply to listen, all thoughtful voices are welcome.
