Tuesday Foodclub
Tuesday Foodclub
We are a group of people meeting on Tuesdays to socialize around cooking and eating together. Usually around 40-50 people. Many are international students, but also other people join. The foodclub exist independent of Meetup, we invite you because we have room for a few more people. The food is vegan and made from donated leftover veggies from a local greengrocery. The place has originally hosted leftwing activist groups, and many of the people joining are also involved in political groups. If you want to join for chopping and cooking, we will be doing that from 3 to 6 pm. It is possible to join part of the time. From 6:30 to 8pm we are serving food. Donation around 30 kroner. If you are helping out some hours, chopping, cooking or cleaning, you can eat for free. From 8 to 9 - 9:30 pm we are cleaning up the place. We hope to see you in our lovely foodclub <3
How do we scale civic tech enabled citizen participation
How do we scale civic tech enabled citizen participation
Join us for an inspiring session exploring the frontier of "constructive" democratic technology. As traditional mechanisms for citizen engagement struggle against polarization and an algorithm-driven attention economy, how can we build digital public infrastructure that actually brings people together? Digital deliberation provides a new framework for our democracy. Rather than focusing on division, these tools allow us to map underlying consensus and foster collective sense-making across society. In this meetup, we move beyond abstract theory to explore the practical ways the Finnish Innovation Fund (Sitra) has successfully deployed citizen participation at scale, and look ahead to the new European Civic Tech Hub. We will dive into: * **The Power of "Voxit":** How Finland successfully scaled this open-source platform across more than 120 societal dialogues, utilizing AI and statistical clustering to map "Uncommon Ground" and find consensus. * **From National Labs to European Impact:** Insights from massive citizen dialogues—such as the "What do you think about AI, Finland?" campaign—and how they directly shape public sector rulebooks. * **The European Civic Tech Hub:** How the ongoing work to build a centralized hub under the European Commission's *European Democracy Shield* aims to solve the biggest bottlenecks in civic tech adoption, from procurement to GDPR compliance. **About the Speaker & Moderator:** **Sanna-Kaisa Saloranta (Speaker)** is a Specialist and Democracy Team Lead at Sitra's International Programmes. She leads efforts to scale democratic innovations that support collective sense-making, actively working to bridge the gap between Finnish open-source success and the wider European digital ecosystem. **Michael Jensen (Moderator)**, Co-founder of DemAI, will host the session and guide the conversation, drawing on his expertise in democratic AI to bridge the themes of the presentation with our audience's questions. Come prepared for a constructive dialogue on how we can learn from these approaches to build a more transparent, resilient, and connected democratic future in Europe. We look forward to seeing you there!
Coffee Talk
Coffee Talk
Fulfillment. Joy. – Do you know what it is? Do you feel it now? Many of us are living lives that have “just sort of happened”. We had a dream, a vision (maybe we still do) for what we wanted our lives to look like. Somewhere along the way, life took over and something else ended up happening. We made decisions, took a turn down a path, and now our life isn’t what we thought it would be. Or we’re living someone else’s life. Maybe it’s what our parent’s wanted for us. What we believe our partner or a potential partner might want. Or maybe it’s what we believe we need to do and have to be happy. I was one of these people. My life checked all the boxes for what I thought I needed in order to be happy. And still, I wasn’t. Join me for a coffee talk on what it means to live a Life By Design. Where your choices are deliberate and based on your authentic, true self. What you have to let go off to achieve this (hint: the notion that vulnerability is a weakness and feelings of fear and guilt) and who you will become in the process.

Shut Up & Write!® in Amager
**Co-working for writers in Amager!** Join us for an hour of focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in the area. We meet in this lovely spacious café, chilled out, usually not very busy at this time, with an on-site bakery of delicious pastries. Once everyone is here and settled, I will lead a quick introduction, and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. After the hour is up feel free to chat / take off / keep writing if you're on a roll. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers, and it can be a great way to learn from eachother. **A note about the format** We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

Shut Up & Write!™ Copenhagen
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.

Copenhagen Singles Relational Lab — Facilitated Connection Experience
Copenhagen Singles Relational Lab — Facilitated Connection Experience
# Tired of dating apps or surface-level social events? This is different. Relational Labs is a guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction — without performance, pressure, or endless small talk. This is not speed dating. Not networking. Not “pitch yourself to strangers.” It’s a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness, and real-world human connection — made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. ## What happens • A 2-hour guided online relational experience • Real-time connection exercises designed to create authentic interaction • A format that adapts in real time to whoever is present • Optional participant-led in-person continuation afterward • WhatsApp connection thread after the session ## This may be for you if: • You’re tired of shallow or repetitive social spaces • You want deeper connection without forced intimacy • You enjoy personal growth, psychology, communication, or relational work • You’re open to meeting people in a more intentional way ## Important This experience runs with whoever is present and takes its own shape each time. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. Both are the real thing. Booking happens through our website. 👉 Reserve your spot: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Optional in-person continuation: same day or within 48 hours depending on the city Most people come alone. People often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, warm, honest, and real. Sometimes awkwardness turns into ease. Sometimes curiosity turns into chemistry. Sometimes people simply remember what it feels like to actually connect again.

Authentic You Me Slow Friending | Meet new people | No Small Talk [30+yo]
**Tired of small talk? Come meet new people meaningfully - the Authentic You Me way!** **\*\*\*Looking to grow your social circle? Join us for a welcoming, carefully crafted and thoughtfully facilitated experience of meaningful conversations that go beyond the small talk.\*\*\*** No business cards or job titles. No small talk. No pressure to perform. No intimidating crowds. \-\-\- If you have answered yes to two or more of the above, then you have come to the right place. **Welcome to Authentic You Me** We often hear how difficult it can be to make new friends as an adult and particularly when moving abroad; or when rebuilding social circles cos old friends have moved away or onto new life phases. Socialising attempts often mean standing in a crowded room, wearing a polite smile, and answering the same three questions: *"What do you do?" "Where are you from?" "How long have you been here?"* Great for breaking the ice, but rarely leading to something inspiring or meaningful. It’s exhausting. It feels like a performance. While the absence of authentic connection and meaningful conversations can sometimes leave us feeling a little lonely or like we don't belong. **Authentic You Me** *was born with a desire to change that.* \-\-\- \*\*\*𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗠𝗲, the home of mindful, intentional socials we baptised as 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 - our own thoughtful, refreshing and carefully crafted way of changing how we meet and connect with others.

Social Social Night
Social Social Night
\*\*\*This is a ticketed event as we have limited space (your ticket includes a welcome drink🤗). “So… what do you do for a living?” Most of the time, when we meet new people, it’s only on the surface, a polite smile, a few predictable questions, we talk about work and where we're from. Familiar lines, but rarely the start of something inspiring. Our *Social Social Nights* are designed to change that. As the name suggests, we want to make these events extra social. This means that it will be once again about **skipping the small talk** and diving into **more fun and meaningful conversations**. How? You will be our guest, and as your hosts, we prepared thoughtful & playful activities that make it **easy for you to meet new people**, or learn something new about the people you already know. It’s not about being interesting; it’s about being open. You might share a story you’ve never told before, laugh with someone you’ve just met or an old friend − or simply **enjoy the feeling of being fully present with others**. Schedule 18:00 · Doors open & welcome (get your welcome drink) 18:30 · First activity (arrive on time, this one sets the tone) 19:00 · Short break 19:15 · Second activity 20:00 · Wrap up & end − you’re welcome to stay for another drink **This time, we're bringing our Social Social Night to 25hours Hotel Indre By (Pilestræde 65, 1112).** Many people come solo to our events, but you're more than welcome to bring your friends. Everyone’s welcome. We’re excited to see you soon, Your team from Side by Side
Eyesight and vision improvement
Eyesight and vision improvement
Do you want to improve your eyesight naturally, but don't know how to start? Then this event is perfect for you. I have through deep learning in the field of eyesight gained knowledge about how our eyes work internally and how one can improve ones vision, through practical yet focused and specific eyesight exercises. In this event we will first go through the basics of the eyesight functions to later talk about very useful exercises which you can use to gradually improve eyesight. The event is open to everyone and not only for people with specific medical condition. Its also completely free of charge. You will take home very detailed exercises that can help you make your eyesight better, more comfortable to use and notice all the important signs of correct use of the eyes which will ensure sharp and joyfully eyesight experience. It starts from proper relaxation that we forgot subconsciously how to do through our long commitments we have that falls on the eyes. If you have any specific questions about the event, feel free to reach out to me before. ...
