Du möchtest Russisch lernen, stellst aber fest, dass dir die Sprachpraxis fehlt? Hast du bereits Russischkurse besucht und möchtest deine Sprachkenntnisse auffrischen und auf einem guten Niveau halten? Dann ist unser Sprachklub genau das Richtige für dich! Das bevorstehende Treffen des Sprachklubs widmet sich Michail Saltykow-Schtschedrin, einem bedeutenden Schriftsteller und bekannten Satiriker des 19. Jahrhunderts. Seine Werke zeichnen sich durch scharfsinnige Gesellschaftskritik und tiefgründigen Humor aus, der auch heute noch relevant ist. Die Diskussion wird die literarische Bedeutung Saltykow-Schtschedrins sowie seinen Einfluss auf die russische Satire beleuchten. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf seinen charakteristischen Stilmitteln und den sozialen Themen, die in seinen Texten behandelt werden. Das Treffen bietet die Gelegenheit, seine Werke im historischen Kontext zu verstehen und die satirische Perspektive auf die Gesellschaft des 19. Jahrhunderts näher zu erkunden.

The purpose of this ride is to deepen your understanding of Brompton bikes, ride courses designed to fully enjoy Bromptons, rediscover the city, experience new ways to enjoy it, and experience the lifestyle that comes with owning a Brompton. We guide participants through folding techniques and shifting the internal gear hub—a common source of confusion for first-time riders—while riding. By comparing different bikes, we help riders deeply understand each model's characteristics, supporting them in making an informed choice and purchase. https://www.komoot.com/tour/2544443144?share_token=aHITulkVldsQO8ZTduViGdGjVF2ZkFee5TKZ6D4484fY5EXfHK&ref=wtd

https://www.eventbrite.de/e/voice-lab-extended-feel-free-your-voice-tickets-1842025711489 Bi-weekly 4-course closed-group series to deepen your connection with your voice and find freedom and joy in your vocal expression. **Explore and solidify your voice in this four-session, bi-weekly singing course led by Sarah McInerney. Open to those with a basic comfort in singing who are curious to expand their vocal toolbox, experiment with their vocal production, and enjoy singing in a fun, non-judgmental group setting. Within the four-session course, we will learn about vocal health/anatomy, breath and body adjustments to relax the voice, beginner music theory, and some fun new songs. By first going inward to ground the breath and voice, we will slowly and safely open ourselves to embrace the fullness of our voice.** *Voice Lab Extended is a closed group experience, meaning you sign up for all four dates. This way we can build a deeper sense of trust, comfort and intimacy within the group.* The dates are: * ***Saturday, 31.01.2026, 12:00 - 13:30*** * ***Saturday, 14.02.2026, 12:00 - 13:30*** * ***Saturday, 28.02.2026, 12:00 - 13:30*** * ***Saturday, 14.03.2026, 12:00 - 13:30*** The series is not a performance-focused choir project, but an instructive, playful environment to build on your vocal abilities and gain confidence through the process of meeting/practicing/singing in a closed group over the four sessions. Join us on this vocal journey and experience the transformative power of singing, one note at a time. Open to anyone and any body. No previous voice training required! *\*If you can't afford a regular ticket but would love to attend anyway, please send us a message (hi@b23.berlin) and we'll find a solution.*

***Get ready to explore the beauty of nature on a quick sketch walk - no art skills needed, just your creativity and love for the outdoors!*** **To join this trip, you need to purchase your ticket from link below 👇🏽:** [https://www.eventbrite.de/e/quick-sketch-nature-walk-at-muggelturm-tickets-1980897766544](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/quick-sketch-nature-walk-at-muggelturm-tickets-1980897766544) ### **Why Go?** * Join us, the afternoon of Sunday, 1st of February at the Wendenschloß Tram Stop in near the Dahme River for Quick Sketch Nature Walk along the Dahme River up to Muggelturm. We’ll be meeting up with fellow **Sketchers & Artists** to practice our quick sketching skills while enjoying nature. Due to the temperatures, a good portion of the outing will be walking - however, we will be stopping to do multiple 5 min sketches with the goal of improving our quick sketching skills. Quick sketching is a foundational sketching skill that seeks to simplify a scene while working on proportion, foundational outlines and just a smattering of details. These are sketching skills that can be applied across artistic mediums. * Bring your preferred drawing medium for ***standing, quick sketches***, and meet up with fellow nature sketchers. Sketchers have a wide variety of skill levels - from beginner to professional. All are welcome. Quick sketching seeks to improve the basics of drawing - meaning that it is appropriate for sketchers of all levels who have the goal of becoming a little bit better than when they first started. The drawings are for fun, and to get to know other artists and hobbyists in the area! * Join us at Noon at the Wendenschloß Tram stop with our host - Elizabeth, we’ll get to know one another and then set out as a group to sketch along the Dahme River and up to Muggelturm.. Depending on our pace and the time, we will continue on to Teufelsseemore Köpernik for a final sketch. We will return to the Wendenschloß Tram stop *by sundown* and go our separate ways. ### 📲 Stay Connected Please do join our **WhatsApp / Telegram channels** for: * Event updates * Future trips & meetups * Early-bird discounts * Contests & giveaways 1.
