Join us for a relaxed evening of games, fun, and great company during the week! This is an event open to locals and expats alike-perfect for making new friends while playing card games, chess, and other fun board games. The idea is to play and chill a bit during the week but not to be overwhelmed and still can go back to work for 1 more day before weekend. 📍 **Location:** Adam Coffee Shop ⌚ **Time:** 7:00–9:00 PM 👥 **Vibe:** Chill, social, and lightly competitive (in a fun way!) 🎟 **Entrance Fee:** 10 QAR (cash only) ☕ **Minimum Order:** One drink or food item We’ll rotate between games and tables depending on the number of participants, giving everyone a chance to meet and play with different people. Feel free to bring your own games to share! Just to support the Cafe for their generosity of hosting us, 1 order of drink/food is a good practice. For those who prefer healthier options, the café offers sugar-free drinks and food. **Note:** Due to previous experiences where some attendees did not place any orders and misused shared resources, we have introduced a small entrance fee to help maintain a positive and respectful environment from Feb. The fee will also contribute to supporting the community and providing food for stray cats.

_Game: Basketball 🏀 _ _Duration:_ 1 hour _Number of players:_ 5 vs 5 _Objective:_ First team to reach 21 points wins; play till the 1-hour time limit expires. The team that wins the most matches will be declared the overall winner, making it a highly competitive and exciting game! _Sharing cost:_ Each player contributes 20 QAR.

**Language Exchange over a drink. We choose a different venue every week.** This is our last LE before Ramadan in this outdoor cafe but also a Karak tea place. This place might be a bit far from most of us who are used to city centre venues but we only come to Lusail or the Pearl once a month or 2. Just come to enjoy some breeze and a getaway after your shopping in Katara!! This is a free event and we welcome local and expats to come for a chat and some good company. Participants are responsible for paying for their orders. As customary to support local business, minimum 1 order is a good practice. It will also be great if you can support this group and the food for strays by giving some money in our donation box!! **Languages👂🏻💋:** English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese (and more, depending on the attendees' languages) **Topics**🗣: Ramadan stories **Location: Chapati & Karak Cafe** in Katara We have certified Chinese and English teachers here who also speak Spanish and Japanese. We are looking for Arabic-speakers or anyone who wishes to practice these languages or just to connect. For our regular members, we move on from our picnic this week to sit down for a Karak tea or coffee after our picnic. Participants will be put in different tables based on number of people and langauge-pairs and swap places from time to time. Please sign up for your attendance. Ps. Look for a blonde Asian girl on arrival if this is your first time.

**AI-Supported Creative Exploration** *For Unassuming Intuitives & Practicing Creatives* (Please note that this event has not been organized or endorsed by The Writer's Center.) This meetup is part of AI as Creative Partner — A Practice Group, a set of open, non-sequential creative labs you can join at any point. We use AI as a thinking partner—not to replace your ideas, but to help surface and shape them without overthinking or pressure. You bring fragments—ideas, impulses, unfinished concepts. With AI as a supportive collaborator, we explore how those fragments can become clearer, more coherent, and ready to share if and when you want to. No technical background is required. If you can talk or type, that's enough to work with AI here. This session is intentionally low-commitment and flexible: * Arrive late or leave early * Work quietly or observe * Ask questions, or simply watch the process unfold There's no presentation and no expectation to finish anything. Showing up as you are is enough. **FROM FRAGMENT TO FORM - AN OPEN AI STUDIO** Many creative ideas don't arrive as "projects." They arrive as fragments, moods, or something that won't leave you alone. This open studio is a place to gently explore those fragments using AI as a thinking partner—without forcing clarity too soon. You're welcome to work, observe, arrive late, or leave early. This is a calm room for unfinished ideas. **HOW TO FIND US** Look for the room with the door open on the lower level. Look for the guy with the screen projector and ambient light and sound. Feel free to just walk in and settle. **(*This is an independent meetup using rental space at The Writer's Center. The Writer's Center has not organized or endorsed this event.*)**
