Exploring Opportunities in the Real World
Applying for jobs can feel like sending your CV into a black hole…
But what if there are other ways to explore opportunities?
In this practical workshop, you’ll learn how to move beyond job boards and start connecting with the real world.
We’ll cover:
• How to understand what a role is *really* about
• Different ways to explore companies and fields
• How to reach out to people (without it feeling awkward)
You’ll also take a small, concrete step—like identifying someone to contact or drafting a short message.
🧭 Part 4 of a workshop series, but open to everyone.
No pressure. No perfect scripts. Just practical ways to get unstuck.

Cocktails & Collage Night: A Hygge Creative Workshop
Escape the winter chill and immerse yourself in an evening of creativity, conversation, and coziness. Join us for a **Cocktails & Collage** a seasonal gathering that celebrates Danish *hygge* through drinks and imaginative art-making.
Set in a contemporary art gallery turned into a creative studio for the night, you’ll begin with a delicious cocktail or a glass of wine and even alcohol-free option will be available.
Once you test our cocktails you can settle into a candlelit workspace stocked with vintage magazines, colorful papers, fabrics, and other tactile treasures. A collage artist will guide the group through a meditative cut-and-paste flow where you’ll create a visual piece rooted in seasonal themes like winter coziness, Copenhagen memories, or dream landscapes.
Whether you come with friends or on your own, this cozy and creative evening will leave you inspired, relaxed, and ready for winter.
The bar will keep open for those who want to explore more of our cocktail menu
Note: The event is free but does not include the drinks

Geopolitics, Summer 2026 Edition! A World in Flux! Global Order! Casual Debate..
**“Geopolitics (!) — Summer 2026 and a World in Flux”**
Power, Conflict, Alliances, and the Shape of the Global Order
The world feels less stable than it did just a few years ago. Wars linger or expand, alliances are tested, and long-standing assumptions about security, globalization, and leadership are breaking down. Summer 2026 doesn’t mark a pause—it marks a moment of tension, transition, and uncertainty.
This isn’t a news recap or a prediction exercise. It’s a philosophical and strategic conversation about where the world stands—and what forces are quietly reshaping it.
***
**Topics we’ll touch on:**
* Are we moving toward a multipolar world—or a more chaotic one?
* Ongoing wars, frozen conflicts, and the risk of escalation
* The role of great powers vs regional players
* Europe’s position between security, values, and dependence
* Energy, resources, and the geopolitics of scarcity
* Is international law weakening—or merely adapting?
* And finally… are we entering a more dangerous era, or just a more honest one?
Casual discussion. No background in international relations required—just curiosity and a willingness to look beyond daily headlines. Whether you feel worried, cynical, cautiously hopeful, or unsure—you’re not alone.
Let’s take a step back from the noise—and think seriously about the world we’re living in.
🌈 Rainbow Fitness: Muay Thai Edition
# 🌈 Rainbow Fitness: Muay Thai Edition
📅 June 21st
🕚 11:00 am
Ever wanted to dramatically kick the air, punch things safely, and feel slightly powerful for a morning? 🥊🌈
Join us for a beginner-friendly Rainbow Muay Thai session where we’ll learn some basic kicks, punches, movement, and techniques together in a relaxed and supportive environment.
This is *absolutely not* about being a fighter or being super fit.
It’s about:
✨ Trying something new
✨ Moving our bodies
✨ Laughing at ourselves a little
✨ Feeling strong and confident together
Most of us are probably just going to discover muscles we forgot existed.
No experience needed at all — complete beginners are very welcome. You do not need to be sporty, coordinated, or intimidating. Honestly, chaotic enthusiasm is enough.
Expect:
🥊 Basic kicks & punches
😅 Light cardio
🌈 Supportive group energy
✨ Collective confusion at footwork
Bring:
👟 Comfortable workout clothes
💧 Water
😌 Your best “I totally know what I’m doing” face
Come punch the air with the rainbow crew.
🌈 Rainbow Shores: Amager Beach Day
#
Sunshine, snacks, water, music, and a bunch of rainbow humans attempting to relax properly ☀️🌈
Join us for a chill beach day at **Amager Beach**, where the plan is simple:
Swim, tan, snack, talk, vibe, repeat.
**Date:** June 20th
**Time:** 1:00 pm
Bring whatever makes your ideal beach day:
🏖️ Towels
🧃 Drinks
🎲 Games
🍉 Snacks
🎵 Music
🧴 Sunscreen (seriously)
Some people will swim. Some will gossip in the sun. Some will become emotionally attached to a beach pigeon. All are valid.
Weather permitting, of course — this is still Scandinavia.
Shut Up & Write!™ Copenhagen
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at our Copenhagen Shut Up & Write! sessions.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, résumé, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
- 15 minutes of hellos and getting settled; maybe some quick intros.
- Then, the timer starts! : writing for 1 hour.
- After the hour is up... chat / take off / keep writing, if you're on a roll.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens once the hour of writing is complete. Writing can be very solitary... connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
It's best to be on time, but BEING LATE IS ALSO OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with us after the session. (We’ll be the ones with the small Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.
Let's meet and talk books
Hi everyone! Let's gather and share our reading.
As usual, we will meet at the fourth floor of the Central Library as it has good facilities for book clubs and it is also free to use. No extra cafe money to spend.
Idea is to meet and connect over books. Each participant present 1-2 books they would like to recommend or just talk about, and then we'll see where conversation leads us. Again, there is no limitation to genre or type of book you are reading. The point is that we are free to read whatever we want and then share those reading experiences, so remember to be respectful to each other.
I hope to see as many of you as possible. :)
Copenhagen Global Hangout

Our Saturday 7:30 PM meetups gather 20–30-somethings who love international connections.
Expect warm vibes, open minds, and a seat at the table for everyone.
Come join the city’s most hyggeligt hangout.
join us!!

[Eric Rico: From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity] (In-Person) #13
Let's get together and listen to **[Eric Rico](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericrico/)** from Unity3D (**From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity**).
A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture.
This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape.
Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds.
Eric also runs the **[Columbus Unity User Group](https://www.meetup.com/columbus-unity-user-group/)**. Check it out!
***Bring your laptop and expect to write some (non-AI-generated) code!***
Food and drinks will be available.

Unity GameDev Hangout (Topic TBD)
*We'll update this with the specific topic(s) once they're set for the month.*
A relaxed, community-driven Unity GameDev meetup. No strict agenda — just developers getting together to talk shop, share projects, and exchange ideas.
Some topics that may come up (based on attendee interest):
* Frame Debugger & performance tooling
* Addressables & additive scene workflows
* Input System, localization, responsive UI
* AI integration approaches
* DevOps & LiveOps experiences
* Full lifecycle: idea → cross-platform publishing
* Favorite Asset Store tools and hidden gems
* Weird Unity quirks we've all run into
Nothing is locked in. Bring a project if you'd like, bring a question, bring a lesson learned — or just come hang out and meet other developers.
All skill levels welcome. Food and drinks provided.
Board games at The Forge
The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~20 per person. Soft drink refills are 1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group!
The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play.
Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes.
We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area.
Parking can sometimes fill esrly. There is additional parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. 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.

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders…
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords…
IMPORTANT:
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
