Toastmasters Polish Your Polish zaprasza na wyjątkowe spotkanie pod hasłem: “The Grand Theatre of Attention” „Od Szekspira do TikToka: Wielki Teatr Atencji” Przez wieki chodziliśmy do teatru, by celebrować chwilę. Potem kino nauczyło nas kochać perfekcyjne cięcia. Dziś naszą sceną jest 15-sekundowy Reels, a reżyserem — algorytm Netflixa. Czy w dobie niekończącego się scrollowania wciąż potrafimy słuchać historii, które trwają dłużej niż minuta? Czy teatr i kino nadal są awangardą rozrywki, czy może zostały wyparte przez kulturę natychmiastowej uwagi? Na najbliższym spotkaniu Toastmasters będziemy mówić o sile opowieści, uwadze, współczesnej komunikacji i o tym, jak zmienia się sposób, w jaki odbieramy świat. 🎬 Kurtyna w górę! 📅 Data: Wtorek 12 maja 🕖 Godzina: 19:15 📍 Miejsce: Ognisko Polskie Spotkanie odbędzie się w języku angielskim. Serdecznie zapraszamy Do zobaczenia 🎤 Jeśli jednak wolisz uczestniczyć online, to będzie też możliwość uczestniczenia przez Google Meet https://meet.google.com/sxz-jkqp-ihp Więcej informacji o klubie na naszej stronie: http://www.polishyourpolish.org.uk/ www.facebook.com/pyplondon www.instagram.com/polishyourpolishlondon www.linkedin.com/company/polish-your-polish-toastmasters Strona Ogniska Polskiego: www.ogniskopolskie.org.uk

uSwitch is located on the first floor of the ZPG building at 5 Copper Row, London, SE1 2LH, London (Click on the map for directions) What 3 words location: [https://what3words.com/puts.sudden.else](https://what3words.com/puts.sudden.else) The Clojure dojo is a collaborative way to learn Clojure/ClojureScript through practice. The aim is to learn a little more than before you started. This event is for those new to coding through to more experienced developers. We organise into small groups (2-4) people and write code to solve challenges great and small, chosen by those at the event. We aim to ensure someone in your group has some Clojure experience, so you shouldn't feel lost (well no more than all developers do when Stack Overflow is broken). Example challenges for the coding dojo are listed on this website: http://www.londonclojurians.org/code-dojo/ Various past exercises have been loaded to [https://github.com/ldnclj](https://github.com/ldnclj/lisp1.5/blob/master/src/lisp1/5.clj) # Approximate schedule: 18:40 Doors open and start collecting suggestions 18.45 Pizza should have arrived 19:00 Quick intros and vote on suggestions 19:15 Break out into groups and start practising 20:45 Gather together for a quick show and tell # What should I bring? We organise into small groups, so if you have a laptop with a working Clojure environment please bring it along (there are lots of online Clojure environments, so you can just use your browser too). # How do I get in to the building? At the glass doors press the buzzer to inform the security guard you are here. Say you are here for the event on the first floor. Is there way to talk with the Clojure community? Why yes. The Clojurians Slack channel is full of friendly people who love to try and help. People based in London are often in the #clojure-uk channel. Sign up for a free account to the Clojurians Slack community via http://clojurians.net/ What is Clojure? Clojure is a JVM language that has syntactically similarities to Lisp, full integration with Java and its libraries and focuses on providing a solution to the issue of single machine concurrency. Its small core makes it surprisingly easy for Java developers to pick up and it provides a powerful set of concurrency strategies and data structures designed to make immutable data easy to work with. If you went to Rich Hickey’s LJC talk about creating Clojure you’ll already know this, if not it’s well worth watching the Rich Hickey “Clojure for Java Programmers” video or Stuart Halloway “Radical Simplicity” video .

Have you ever wanted to gather together and talk about insightful topics which broadens your thinking and knowledge? If so, this may be the right event for you. Welcome to the ‘Deep conversations’ event where you get the opportunity to share your views based on the topics that we may cover. The last time this was executed, it not only went well but we managed to learn from one another which broadened our thinking. With this particular event, the topics we’ll discuss are: * What do you think about literature and why is it so fascinating? * The power of imagination * Why are books sometimes better than the movies? * Are there any genres you like? * Name me a book that you read and enjoyed * Would you recommend any authors and if so, who would you recommend and why? We get so preoccupied with daily life that we hardly have a chance to sit back and think as well as discuss many topics in such depth. When was the last time you sat back and thought about anything in depth which opened your eyes to so many possibilities and broadened your thinking? Now is your chance to share your views and learn from one another. By participating in this, you could broaden your ways of thinking, learn new lessons or even heal if you have your hidden struggles. My fellow explorers, if you enjoyed the event, I’m more than happy to accept any donations which of course are optional but will go a long way to help me unlock and deliver even more exciting and engaging events and resources: https://www.paypal.me/calvinjoy WHAT - Deep conversations
