Türkçe Kurmaca Kitap Kulübü - Pazar Buluşması
Merhabalar,
**7 Nisan Pazar 16:00**'da buluşuyoruz. Mekan [März Bar](https://www.maerzberlin.de/).
İçeride rahat berjer koltukların olduğu bir oda var, girince solda. **[Schönhauser Allee ringbahn](https://maps.app.goo.gl/oWVqcXtfZM5q69yN9)** durağına yakın, Stargarder üzerinde. Ulaşımın Ring Bahn (S41 ya da S42) ile kolay olacağını düşünüyorum.
Her zamanki etkinlik formatı ve tanıtımı aşağıda:
**Önemli Not**: Mekanda sınırlı sayıda koltuk olduğu için genelde 8-9 kişi ile sınırlıyoruz etkinliği. **Eğer gelemeyeceksiniz en azından bir gün önceden meetup'taki etkinlik sayfasında etkinlikten kendinizi çıkartmayı unutmayın**. Böylece Pazar günü gelebilecek kişiler kendilerini ekleyebilirler
Açık kitap kulubü formatında buluşacağız, detaylar aşağıda, görüşmek üzere!
* **Kitap kulübü "açık" formatta. Yani** **belirli bir kitap üzerinden değil**, katılımcıların o sıralarda okudukları ya da bitirdiği bir kitap üzerine paylaşımda bulundukları daha geniş katılımı mümkün kılan bir format.
* Kulübü **kurmaca kitaplar kategorisi ile sınırlı tutuyoruz**. **Kurmaca kitaplar kategorisi şunlardan ibarettir: roman, öykü ve şiir. Yani edebi eserler**. Otobiyografi, kişisel gelişim kitapları ya da sosyoloji, psikoloji vs. kitapları kurmaca değildir.
* **Kulüpteki Türkçe vurgusu konuşma dili için**. Kitaplar elbette herhangi bir dünya edebiyatına ait olabilir. Herhangi bir dilde de okunabilir. Yine de misafirlerin ana dili ya da ona yakın seviyede Türkçe bildiğini, ortak paydasının Türkçe edebiyat okuru olmak olduğunu varsayıyorum. Herhangi bir ulusa ya da etnisiteye ait olmak değil.
Sunday Hangover

Reading Party ☕️📚
\*\*\*\*\*\*
***For address and more details see the website www.pausify.org***
\*\*\*\*\*\*
**Event Info:**
Pausify is the **biggest community and most active** of book lovers and creatives in Berlin.
Impressions: Instagram: **[@Pausify (Co-Reading Space)](https://www.instagram.com/pausify_org/)**
Events happen every Sat and Sun at 11 AM.
Bring along your **current book to read** (or something **creative** to work on) and join us for this mix of a shared focus time + discussion.
\- 11:00\-11:30 \- Meet & greet
\- 11:30\-12:30 \- Silent focus time
\- 12:30 \- Discussion of books/ projects over coffee
Afterwards, join for lunch if you'd like (optional).
**Drinks & snacks are included** ☕️
* **To reserve your place, a ticket (€9,90/event) or a community pass (only €17,90/MONTH) [from the website ](https://pausify.org/)*www.pausify.org* is required**
* **Attendance here doesn’t show all sign-ups from other platforms. We usually have about 50 to 100 people at each event.**
***FAQ: Why does it cost money if I bring my own project?***
Because we rent a beautiful, central space for every event. Ever thought your monthly apartment rent was too high? Well, multiply that – that’s what commercial spaces in big cities like Berlin cost *per hour*.
Of course, if all you want is just some quiet time, your home or a library is perfect. But if you’d like to focus & connect with others in an inspiring space – with drinks, snacks included – that’s what your ticket helps to cover.
See pics from our events below - and on our Instagram: **[@Pausify (Co-Reading Space)](https://www.instagram.com/pausify_org/) ☕️**

Immigration Forum, Hosted by the NoVA Returned Peace Corps Volunteers
BreadBreakers is a community where we can discuss hard things while keeping sight of each other's humanity. What better way to practice that than a community forum on immigration?
**The [Northern Virginia Returned Peace Corps Volunteers](https://novarpcv.org/) (NOVA RPCVs) has invited the BreadBreakers community to partner with them on a community forum they are hosting to talk about immigration** — history, current issues, and potential solutions. Come and be part of a nuanced, curiosity-first conversation on this important issue!
Immigration experts Kamana Mathur and Tom Carroll will provide an overview of the current immigration landscape, take questions, and lead a discussion across diverse viewpoints. The goal is constructive dialogue, improving understanding, and identification of common ground where it exists — and after the session, the hosts will compile the discussion into a white paper outlining suggested reforms.

BreadBreakers Community Dinner: Special 250th Anniversary Edition
**In a time of division and isolation, come be part of the community that's rebuilding the town square, one table at a time.**
**This dinner in particular will be very special as we celebrate America's 250th birthday. How better to honor a semiquincentennial of democracy that spending an evening practicing it?**
In BreadBreakers, we use the common space of the dining table to have conversations where neighbors can **hear, be heard, and know one another.** If you're hungry for good conversation and deeper community, join us for a Community Dinner in Reston and help blaze the trail to a healthier, more connected society and democracy.
Here’s how it works: For just two hours, multiple tables of people set aside the need to "win" and instead focus on sharing, listening, and connecting. Guided by experienced table hosts, we'll tell our stories, try to understand each other, and practice being in community with those with different views or backgrounds.
**At this dinner, participants will get to choose between three different topics, including some current events.** Topics range from the political, to the "slice of life", to the spiritual, to the philosophical, to the off-the-wall - but no matter which table you choose to sit at, you can be sure it'll be like no dinner conversation you've had before! You can also **suggest a topic** by emailing us at BreadBreakersInfo@gmail.com.
Food will be provided for free. For those who wish to provide a donation to help fund BreadBreakers, you can [give here](https://pushpay.com/g/restorationrestonumc?fnd=pO6G-N7oO7FH7Mp1u-x6mA&fndv=Lock&r=No&lang=en&src=pcgl) or at the event.
We'll have vegetarian and gluten-free options available. If you have any additional dietary restrictions (Celiac Disease, vegan, etc.) please let us know at BreadBreakersInfo@gmail.com so that we can implement the appropriate food handling procedures.
**Join us, invite a friend, and be a part of the movement to mend our fractured society and normalize a better way of talking with one another.**
BreadBreakers, an initiative by [Restoration United Methodist Church](https://restorationreston.org/breadbreakers) in Reston, VA, is a religiously inclusive community. We are a collaboration between people of all faiths and stripes. Our leadership, volunteer team, and community include people who attend Restoration and people who don't.
