**Haluatko oppia puhumaan selkeämmin, itsevarmemmin – ja vähän vähemmällä jännityksellä?** **Stadin Sanasepät** on suomenkielinen puhe- ja esiintymistaitojen treenikenttä, jossa opitaan puhumalla – ei istumalla passiivisena luennoilla. Meillä esiintytään, mokaillaan, pitchataan ja kehitytään turvallisessa ja kannustavassa ilmapiirissä. Tämä on hyvä paikka, jos haluat esimerkiksi: – saada itsevarmuutta esiintymiseen – sanoittaa omaa ajatustasi napakammin – treenata tulevaa työpaikan esitystä varten – kehittyä palautteen antajana (ja vastaanottajana!) – tai vaan oppia puhumaan ihmisille niin, että ne kuuntelee Saat oman mentorin, pääsyn kansainväliseen Toastmasters-materiaaliin – ja ennen kaikkea porukan, joka tsemppaa ja kulkee mukana. Vieraileminen on maksutonta eikä ennakkoilmoittautumista tarvita. Tule testaamaan, miltä tuntuu puhua yleisön edessä. Ei tarvitse olla valmis – kunhan haluat oppia.

(English version at the bottom) Vaikeissa tilanteissa mieli kiristyy helposti – saatamme vetäytyä, puolustautua tai reagoida nopeasti. Tässä meditaatiossa tutkimme, mitä tarkoittaa kohdata haastavat hetket hieman lempeämmästä paikasta käsin. Voiko rakastava ystävällisyys olla läsnä myös silloin, kun kaikki ei tunnu helpolta?

Harjoittelemme yhdessä meditaatiota ja tutkimme joka kerta yhtä aihetta, joka voi avata uusia näkökulmia omaan mieleen ja elämän kokemiseen. Harjoitus voi tuoda lisää selkeyttä, rauhaa ja tasapainoa sekä meditaatiossa että arjen tilanteissa.

Let's play Mafia together! Locations: Oodi library, Group room #7 (2nd floor). Mafia is a role playing social deduction game. People sit around the table, and are secretly assigned a role. The role divides them in two teams: \- Mafia \(minority\) \- Citizens \(uninformed majority\)\. Members in the Mafia team know each other, but the citizens don't. You are not allowed to reveal your role in any way. Each turn consists of a night time and day time. During the night: The Mafia team secretly "kills" one member of the Citizens. Players with special roles (detailed below) secretly use their ability. During the day: Everyone presents their opinions on who they think are in the Mafia team, or present arguments as to why they are not in the Mafia team if they have been accused. Vote for those players you think are in the Mafia team - those who get a majority vote (>= 50%) will get a chance to present their defense. Vote to "eliminate" 1 person in the defense - the accused will not be eliminated if there are no votes or gets <50% of the votes. The game continues until either the Citizens eliminate all Mafia members, or the Mafia becomes the majority. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Most of the people at our event have experience playing the game. But we are glad to meet new people, and will be happy to briefly introduce you to the game rules and players' strategies if you decide to come. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Special roles at our game party: Doctor (Citizen team): At each night, you can save a player who you think the Mafia team has killed. That player cannot be killed by the Mafia team that night, and the Mafia do not know who you saved. You can save yourself once. Detective (Citizen team): At each night, you can point to a player you think is in the Mafia and the narrator will show thumbs up if they are in the Mafia team. You can not detect the Godfather. Sniper/Professional (Citizen team): Each night, you could either choose to kill someone you think is in the Mafia, or not shoot. You have only two bullets. If you select a citizen to shoot, you go out of the game yourself, but that citizen is still in the game. Constantine (Citizen team): During the night, you can bring back one dead person to life. This can be used only once per game. Matador (Mafia team): Each night, you can diffuse someone's special ability. You can not diffuse the same person two nights in a row. Godfather (Mafia team): You're the head of the Mafia. The detective can not detect you. Terrorist (Mafia team): During the day, you can reveal your character, and choose to kill yourself and another player. The latest time you can do this is during when someone (e.g. you) are presenting their defense. The person you kill with yourself cannot be resurrected by Constantine

This evening is simply an invitation to step into that field and see if it resonates with you. No previous experience is needed. The event is free and open to everyone. Come as you are.

Join us for an open and rigorous discussion on some of the central questions of political philosophy. This session invites participants to examine the principles that govern our societies, challenge their assumptions, and engage with differing viewpoints in a thoughtful and respectful setting. Political philosophy asks not only how societies are structured, but how they ought to be structured. What do we owe one another? What justifies authority? And where, if anywhere, are the limits of obedience? We will center our discussion around the following questions: * **What is the most just system of income taxation?** Should taxation aim at equality, fairness, efficiency, or something else entirely? Is progressive taxation justified, or does it violate individual rights? * **Should there be free speech?** Are there limits to what people should be allowed to say? If so, who decides—and on what grounds? * **Should you obey an immoral law?** When law and morality conflict, which takes priority? Is civil disobedience justified, and under what conditions? * **What grounds political authority?** Why should anyone have the right to rule? Is authority derived from consent, tradition, utility, or something else? No prior background in philosophy is required—only a willingness to think carefully, listen closely, and speak honestly. Whether you lean toward structured argument or exploratory reflection, your perspective is welcome. Come prepared to question not just society, but your own assumptions about justice, freedom, and obligation. **Description by ChatGPT**

If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors.
