Want **more info** than our Summary above? Then please read below: . . . . . **WHY?** we ❤️ **uniting people** and building **community** while having **fun!** We truly believe that **fun meaningful offline connections** to new & existing friends makes us truly happy and healthy! Our community meets **every 2 Fridays** in a **homey,** caring and **welcoming** "come as you are" environment ! . **WHAT is this event?** We are not a "party or drinks" meetup, nor we follow a "forced" process and agenda. Instead, we are a **Connection Community** inspired by Greek village cafes and Swiss Stammtisch — a welcoming environment where neighbours gathered as equals to share stories and build lasting friendships. We meet in a "**fixed-rhythm**" every 2 Fridays in a **homey** & **lovingly-hosted space** so you can connect with new and familiar faces. We provide **several optional activities** to help you **connect** with others—so you're free to **explore what resonates** with you! Together these activities create a unique **Connection** **Event.** . . . . **TIPS on how to connect:** * **Look out for a good smile/vibe** in a person/group of 2-3 people and say "Hi my name is xxx, can I join?". * **Try something different** (person, game, table, activity) often until you find **fun** **quality connection.** We have a lot of activities * **Ask** **Support:** we understand going out to meet friends can be a stretch. We make this easy with a fun and safe event. Also you can ask for help from our clearly communicated (see photos of this event) "**People Connectors**" who can help you discreetly to connect with others * **Invest time**(not quickly just come by) as friendships are an investment * **Come back**: big turnaround, people come randomly at each event, so you never know who you ll meet . . **.** **Some final words:** * **Bravo** **to you** for the courage to go out to meet new people! We know **everyone is unique** \- thats why we got a big new\-comer area\, 4 co\-hosts welcoming and connecting you\, and many activities for you to **choose** from to find what **suits you**! * **Weather?** Event takes place rain or shine, with indoors rooms and outdoors area that is ultra rain-protected * **Coming late?** no problem, we got many people until closing at 00:00 so come whenever! * **Too many attendees?** no problem, we got the space! Also as per the "what" above: you define what makes the event meaningful for you! Furthermore, the co-organisers have one goal: to say hi and introduce you to the event and people (if you want to please ask)! Finally remember: you dont have to talk to everyone, focus in a few people! Less is more! If you dont know where to start look for a good smile or an activity more matching to you. From there keep on trying people and activities.. * **Why so many options above for connection?** We always have: a first-timer area, Fun social games, Mindful games, ice-breaker questions or simply just talk freely to anyone. Often we add: Speed-friending and a Music jam. We believe **you are unique** and each of us prefers different ways of connection. Also we want to provide an opportunity for everyone to try something new * **Easy and Safe:** We have the whole location reserved for us so its safe to open up and meet new friends (unlike bars in Zürich where people find it strange if strangers talk to them). Christos and volunteers will also help with connection. Read more info below. * **Christos** (see [PHOTO](https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdtVaVGCyDEJ28uE8)) and our co-organisers will be wearing name budges and will aim to **welcome** **everyone.** * more info via our **[LINKS](http://linktr.ee/connectionspace)** * Yes YOU are **good** & **courageous** for looking for new fun connections! * Everyone is in same situation and you ll be surprised how **friendly people** are ❤️ * Come **early** though **later** also ok as many people there **until 00:00** * **It works**! We heard of many new friendships, living together and even getting a new job * **Mindful Connection Games:** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) available: Confessions Game, The Friendship Game, Connection Game, The Loser Game, Games for grown-ups and three sets of "100 questions" (Conversation Toolkit & Careers & Relationships) * **Fun Social Games:** bring your own **board/card games** or choose from: Cards against humanity, Exploding Kittens, Codenames, Debatable, Sotally Tober, Taboo, Mafia, Uno, Monopoly and more. . . . . ``` Disclaimer & participation terms (Connection Space): By registering for and/or attending this event (“Event”), you agree: Registration required.

**🇩🇪 Die informellen Networking-Events für Freelancers und Solopreneure – neu mit Input-Referat!** Bist Du auf der Suche nach einer Community von Freelancer:innen und Solopreneur:innen, mit denen Du Dich treffen kannst? Sei es zum Austausch von Erfahrungen, Tipps und Tricks, neuen Businesskontakten oder einfach einem entspannten Start ins Wochenende? – Dann ist der Freelance Friday Afterwork von Swiss Freelancers in Zusammenarbeit mit Blau10 Coworking Space die richtige Veranstaltung für Dich, um in lockerer Atmosphäre interessante Menschen zu treffen! Im Sommer 2026 starten wir den Abend mit einem Input-Referat. Hast Du ein Thema, das auch für andere Freelancer:innen relevant ist? Dann melde Dich als Speaker für ein künftiges Meetup! 🇬🇧 **The informal networking gatherings of freelancers and solopreneurs** Are you looking for a community of freelancers and solopreneurs you can meet? Be it to exchange experiences, tips and tricks, new business contacts or just a relaxed kick-off into the weekend? - Then the Freelance Friday Afterwork by Swiss Freelancers, in cooperation with Blau10 coworking space, will be the ideal event for you to meet interesting peers in a laid-back atmosphere! From summer 2026, we’ll kick off the evenings with a keynote presentation. Do you have a topic that would be relevant to other freelancers? If so, drop us a note to be a speaker for a future meetup!

A few important things to get you started: Attendance is managed through our WhatsApp group, not Meetup. Please join here: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/FhEh4wTeZD088M0fchWqGt](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FhEh4wTeZD088M0fchWqGt) and make sure you join both the General group, where you can chat with other members, and the Saturday Juchhof group, where we post the poll for the next match. The real player count lives on WhatsApp, so the host there can tell you how many have signed up for any given week. We play every Saturday morning regardless of how many people RSVP on Meetup, so there's always a game on. How it works: it's a Saturday morning kick about at Juchhof. Look for us on any of the 3 pitches depending on availability. The field is artificial grass. Games run anywhere from 7v7 to 11v11 depending on turnout. If you have bibs or a football, please bring them along. One ground rule: if you RSVP and don't show up, you'll be removed from the group. We keep numbers reliable so everyone gets a proper game. See you on the pitch!

Based on the novel Roadside Picnic, it is NO picnic, but rather one of the masterpieces of world cinema. Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 Soviet sci-fi classic, recounts the expedition of a writer and professor led by a mysterious guide called "The Stalker." to a futuristic wasteland called "The Zone." Dripping with existential dread, it continually presents strange occurrences that will have us debating the meaning of what we've just viewed right through the ending. *Stalker* (1979) can be streamed for free on HBOMax, the Criterion Channel or Kanopy. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime and AppleTV. The Columbus Library has two copies on disc.
