Design Futures

### Salon 02 - Thema: „Daten, KI und Supplements - ### Wie gesund sind und leben wir 2040 in Berlin?“ *\- Impulse aus der Zukunftsforschung \-Austausch \- Workshop \-* ### **Entwickle mit uns wieder dystopische, wünschenswerte und utopische Szenarien zur mentalen, körperlichen und digitalen Gesundheit!** Unsere Gesundheit ist uns allen wichtig. Der Gesundheitsmarkt wächst und Longivity, KI und Suplements treiben die Entwicklung voran. Gleichzeitig kommt unser Gesundheitssystem an seine Grenzen. Der **"Salon der Zukünfte**" öffnet den Raum um Zukunft zu denken. Das Erlebnisformat beginnt mit einem pointierten Impuls zur Methode Futures Thinking und Informationen aus der Zukunftsforschung mit Fokus "Gesundheit". Anschließend begibst du dich mit deinem Team im Futures Thinking Zukunftssprint ins Jahr 2040. In 100 Minuten entwickelt ihr in dem wissenschaftlich-kreativen Prozess unterschiedliche Zukunftsszenarien zu eurem Kernthema. **100 Minuten können reichen, um den Blick auf morgen neu zu ordnen.** Neben **Design Thinking** ist **Futures Thinking** eine wichtige Methode, um mögliche Zukunftszenarien zu durchdenken. Der Methodenkoffer gibt Sicherheit in Veränderungsprozessen und hilft bei strategischen Entscheidungen. Wenn du die Methode zusammen mit anderen kennenlernen willst, melde dich an: **[Anmeldung: "Salon der Zukünfte" am 23. September 2026 an.](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/100-minuten-zukunft-2-der-salon-der-zukunfte-beydes-tickets-1990316475155)** **Ein Abend wie eine kleine Heldenreise** Dieses besondere Erlebnisformat, verbindet Menschen aus Politik, Wissenschaft, Medien, Wirtschaft und engagierter Zivilgesellschaft – erfahrene Entscheider:innen und junge Zukunftsgestalter:innen. Maximal 25 Personen können teilnehmen. Die Begrenzung ermöglicht einen dynamischen und kreativen Prozess, echte Begegnung und Co-Creation zwischen Generationen und Disziplinen. Der kleine Unkostenbeitrag enthält ein Softdrink und senkt die No-Show-Rate. **Der Salon stellt sich diesmal diese Fragen:** * Was passiert, wenn Daten, KI und Supplements den Alltag bestimmen? * Was passiert, wenn Gesundheit zur mentalen, finanziellen und sozialen Frage wird? * Welche Trends treiben diese Entwicklung voran? * Was bedeutet das konkret für die Gesundheit von uns Berlinerinnen und Berlinern? Es geht um analytische Klarheit. Aktuelle Entwicklungen werden eingeordnet und der Blick geweitet. Was anfangs abstrakt erscheint, wird überraschend konkret. Diffuse Unsicherheiten verwandeln sich in beschreibbare Zukunftsbilder. Aus Diskussionen entstehen Handlungsoptionen. **Orientierung in unsicheren Zeiten** Der Salon vermittelt mehr als Methodenkompetenz. Er stärkt das Zukunfts-Mindset: • Komplexität strukturiert denken • Narrative erkennen und gestalten • Risiken und Chancen systematisch abwägen • konkrete nächste Schritte ableiten Gerade in einer Zeit, in der Futures Thinking weder in Schule noch Universität selbstverständlich gelehrt wird, bietet dieses Format eine seltene Gelegenheit, Gestaltungskompetenz praktisch zu erleben. Durchgeführt wird das Format diesmal von Elle Langer - sie ist Innovationsentwicklerinnen und strategische Zukunftsgestalterin für Menschen in Organisationen in Transformationsprozessen. **TIPP:** **Regelmäßige Orientierung in komplexen Zeiten** Wer die Methode vorher kennenlernen möchte, kann sich beim 2-tägigen Kurs am 17. und 18. September im Bereich für Berufliche Weiterbildung bei der vhs Berlin-Schöneberg anmelden.

Hello! I’m organising a coworking + socialising session for all of us who are working on projects (e.g. our own creations, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have time for both socialising AND working, we will be using the so-called “Pomodoro” technique: **50 mins deep work** (silent), followed by **10 mins break** to socialise. And then repeat! You are welcome to join whatever your personal background is, and whatever project you are working on. I (the host) speak English and German, so either language is fine. ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **Short Intro** Tell us who you are and share something about what you will be working on today * **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\) Each Pomodoro session consists of 50 mins focused “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, **phones on silent mode**) -> then 10 mins break: a chance to share your progress with others -> Repeat * **15 mins Wrap Up** Celebrate what you achieved and get to know others 😊 ———— Wifi + power plugs are available - but best to bring a fully charged laptop, just in case 🙃 You **do not** have to pay anything. But since we are using the café space, it is common courtesy to buy at least one drink (coffee costs roughly **4 Euros**).

### Imagined Gardens: Surrealism, watercolours and a lot of magic Inspired by the lush energy of spring, we’ll reimagine nature in unexpected ways: flowers that whisper secrets, fruits that transform, creatures that bloom, and gardens where anything can happen. What if plants could walk, dance, or speak? What if insects grew like fruit on branches? What strange and beautiful worlds are waiting in your imagination? Through a series of playful exercises and creative games, we’ll unlock new ideas and ways of seeing. Then, step by step, you’ll learn watercolour techniques to bring your imagined garden to life as a unique illustration. The workshop includes **four classes**, but you’re also welcome to join individual sessions (when available). **When:** Tuesday 2 · 9 · 23 · 30 June \| 18:00\- 19:30 h (important: NO class on 16.06) **Where:** Friedrichshain, Berlin **Price:** 85€ for the whole month (4 classes) Single class 25€ / Paypal & Bank Transfer **Booking:** Please register via the form [HERE](https://forms.gle/H5HnTA9aLGuhnpJe8). Please note: Clicking on 'Attend' on Meetup doesn't reserve you a spot. The only way to register is through the form. **Material:** You will need a watercolour set, watercolour paper (or sketchbook) and brushes. If you need suggestions about the material, get in touch. If you need some recommendations, this might help: **[Quick Material Guide](https://www.instagram.com/p/DBRDE95Ia5D/?img_index=2)** Come slow down, get your hands moving, and reconnect with nature 🌿 ✨ No previous painting experience needed.

Two talks. One evening. Plenty of ideas to take home. We’re ready to kick things off for another Berlin Meetup, and are happy to present the speakers of the evening: **[Jens Wriske](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jens-wriske-8b538a397/):** ***"Designing APIs on top of Data Platforms using Databricks"*** Modern data platforms increasingly follow a lakehouse architecture, where data remains owned and governed by domain teams rather than application developers. This session explores how APIs can be designed on top of Azure Databricks to provide access to heterogeneous data sources without duplicating or owning the underlying storage layer. **[Tanuj Jain](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanuj-jain-10/): *"The Story Behind the Story: "Building a Contextual News Chatbot."*** Most news readers lack the background to fully engage with the stories they encounter. This talk walks through the development of a chatbot embedded in a news article page for a German news publisher, designed to give readers on-demand context about what they're reading. We share the key technical and product decisions made along the way, and what we learned about building an AI feature that sits at the intersection of editorial and user experience. ✧ ✧ ✧ **What to expect:** * Two expert talks and Q&A * Networking opportunities in our great Creator Space * Some snacks & drinks to fuel your thoughts : ) ✧ ✧ ✧ **Timetable:** * 18:30 - Event admission * 18:50 - Welcome & Introduction * 19:00 - Jens Wriske: *"Designing APIs on top of Data Platforms using Databricks"* * 19:30 - 5 minutes break * 19:35 - Tanuj Jain: *"The Story Behind the Story: Building a Contextual News Chatbot"* * 20:05 - Snacks, Drinks & Networking * 21:30 - End ✧ ✧ ✧ More on the **-> [applydata data engineering meetup page](https://applydata.io/data-engineering-meetup/)**. **Our goal is to form a local data-loving community, so join us and let's talk data together!** ✧ ✧ ✧ *At the event, sound, image and video recordings are created and published for documentation purposes as well as for the presentation of the event in publicly accessible media, on websites and blogs and for presentation on social media.

All of the session is done with eyes closed to avoid visual distractions and keep focus on the co-created sound space.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
