Haitian Culture

Hello friends! We are the team of CaféIN, an inclusive café in Spandau, inviting you to our German language café - Sprach-CaféIN! 😎 With our language café, we aim to create a safe space for everyone to practice real German, without boring grammar exercises and books, but over coffee, conversations and new encounters :) Every person will be warmly welcome at our Sprach-CaféIN, regardless of background and origin. We are happy to see each and everyone of YOU! Our events are not about politics, as we aim to build bridges and bring people together through language and culture. Participation is free, but every participant is **required** to order at least one drink or snack at the café. This helps us support CaféIN and keep this special place alive.

Bienvenue :) Rejoignez-nous si vous parlez français couramment et aimez rencontrer des gens francophones pour bavarder. A bientôt!

Der politische Diskurs ist für alle diejenigen, die politische und gesellschaftliche Themen verfolgen und sich gerne darüber austauschen wollen. Wir alle wissen, dass der Vorteil einer Demokratie gegenüber autoritären Systemen darin besteht, dass Meinungen geäußert und Kritik geübt werden kann - so let's do this! Jedesmal steht ein neues, eher generelles Thema im Zentrum, über das wir uns respektvoll austauschen wollen. Im kommenden Abend geht es um die von der Rentenkommission eingereichten Vorschläge zur Rentenreform. Interessante Informationsquellen für: [Nationale_Politik](https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/podcast-106.html), [News_aus_Wirtschaft](https://open.spotify.com/show/0MqROiCw2Vl0aVqxWdPjRC?si=dioN4162TqytZm210rXpYw), [Internationale_Nachrichten](https://ground.news/) **WhatsApp Gruppenchat**: Regt dich ein Politiker / eine Argumentationslinie auf? Hast du einen Podcast gehört, den du unbedingt teilen und mit anderen besprechen willst? Möchtest du aktiv bei der Themenwahl unserer Diskussionsabende teilnehmen? Es gibt eine Whatsappgruppe. Sprich mich gerne auf einem Event an, dann füge ich dich hinzu. Wir freuen uns auf deine Ansichten! Photo by iStockphoto/Thinkstock

📢 WICHTIG 📢 Diesmal organisieren wir das Treffen draußen, im Tilla-Durieux-Park gegenüber The Playce in Potsdamer Platz. Wir sitzen auf dem Gras, wo der Boden flach ist. Wenn möglich bring bitte Picknickdecken mit.

Dein Leben steht Kopf, weil du gerade alles losgelassen hast, was dich früher ausgemacht hat? Komm mit auf den Walk zurück zu DIR.(For Free) Bitte melde dich über Eventbrite an: [Hier über diesen Link anmelden ](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/you-walk-spiritueller-spaziergang-fur-frauen-registrierung-1992348214141?aff=oddtdtcreator%20)



Du hast gerade alles hinter dir gelassen, was dich mal ausgemacht hat – und weißt noch nicht, wer jetzt da ist, wo du stehst? Dann bist du hier genau richtig. Du musst nichts erklären, nichts vorbereiten, nichts schon wissen – komm einfach so, wie du gerade bist. Wir gehen den 1. Schritt in deine neue Zukunft gemeinsam. Wir setzen uns zusammen. Atmen durch. Kommen an. Dann gehen wir los, mit Reflexionsfragen im Gepäck und offenem Herzen. Am Ende sitzt du wieder im Kreis. Mit einem ersten Schritt für dich. Und dem Wissen: Du bist nicht allein. Bitte bring mit:
- eine Decke o.ä. zum draufsetzen
- dein Journal/Tagebuch
- einen Stift
- Wasser Treffpunkt:
Wir treffen uns am Ausgang der U-Bahn Station Treptower Park auf der Seite zum Park. Wir werden ein Schild dabei haben, wo "YOU-WALK" drauf steht.
Bitte komm ein paar Minuten früher, damit wir pünktlich um 17 Uhr losgehen können. Hi und schön, dass du hier bist.
Wir sind Julia und Malve - beste Freundinnen, die beschlossen haben, etwas für Frauen zu verändern. Deshalb haben wir den YOU-Walk ins Leben gerufen. Denn wir standen beiden schon genau an diesem Punkt im Leben, wo alles Kopf steht, alles sich aus dem Leben verabschiedet hat - und nun der Trümmerhaufen vor einem liegt. Damals haben wir beide uns noch nicht gekannt und sehr einsam gefühlt. Niemanden an unserer Seite, der uns versteht oder uns da heraushelfen kann.

Doch wir haben es geschafft, unser Leben hat sich komplett verändert und nun haben wir es zu unserer Aufgabe gemacht, anderen Frauen durch diese Zeit zu helfen und ihnen zu zeigen, dass da niemand allein durch muss.

Wir freuen uns darauf, dich persönlich kennenzulernen und mit dir auszutauschen. Falls du noch eine andere Frauen kennst, die nach so einer Gruppe suchen und gerade Halt in ihrem Leben brauchen, dann teile unser Event gerne weiter. Danke dir, dass du die Welt zu einem besseren Ort mit mehr Liebe machst ♥️

Where are people who support each other? (finding jobs, find nice places/looking for apartments/relationships/friends/new hobbies) 2.

With Berlin Fashion Week taking over the city this week, it felt like the right moment to look at where fashion and art truly meet. Join us for a thought-provoking Saturday exploring the women who turned fashion into art — from the ateliers of Paris to a landmark exhibition here in Berlin. 📋 **Agenda** 🥐 **Brunch & Lecture: When Art Meets Fashion** — We'll meet for a cosy brunch with croissants, viennoiserie, and coffee/tea — included in the participation fee. Alongside, I'll trace the women who turned fashion into art — from Rose Bertin, Marie Antoinette's "Minister of Fashion," to Schiaparelli and Chanel, and through to Iris van Herpen today — showing how they used cloth the way sculptors use stone, and challenged what fashion was allowed to mean. 🖼️ **Many Shades of Grès: Fashion Becomes Art at Kunstgewerbemuseum**: Then we'll head to the Kulturforum for the first exhibition of its kind in the German-speaking world dedicated to Madame Grès — one of the most important couturières of the 20th century, who once said her scissors were her most important tool. The show brings together 25 of her draped, sculptural gowns alongside ancient sculpture and paintings from the Antikensammlung and Gemäldegalerie — placing her work in direct dialogue with the classical forms that inspired it. 📅 **Date & Time:** Saturday, 04.07 · 11:30 📍 **Brunch location:** Exact address shared with attendees 1 day before the event 📍 **Exhibition:** Kunstgewerbemuseum, Kulturforum, Johanna und Eduard Arnhold Platz, 10785 Berlin 💶 **Participation Fee:** 30 EUR (brunch included; exhibition entry not included — tickets available at the museum) 📌 **RSVP required** — intimate group, spots are limited ✅ **Event Info & FAQ** 🕐 **How long will it last?** The full experience runs approximately 4–5 hours, including brunch, lecture, and exhibition visit. 💶 **Payment — How do I pay?** Participation fee is paid on the day — cash or PayPal. Exhibition entry is paid separately at the museum. If your plans change, please update your status to "Not Going" so someone on the waiting list can take your spot. 🙏 ⚠️ **Limited Spots:** To keep the group intimate and allow for conversation, spaces are limited. Please cancel if you can't attend so someone else may join. ⏰ **Respect & Punctuality:** Please arrive on time and be mindful of the group. 🥐 **Can I join only for brunch or only for the exhibition?** No — it's one full shared experience. ❗ **What if I show up without signing up?** Unfortunately a spot can't be guaranteed. Only confirmed RSVPs are accepted. ✨ Meet Yuliya, the founder of Berlin Ladies Art Culture — a growing community of over 2,000 women passionate about art, culture, and meaningful connection. With a background bridging hospitality, real estate, and creative studies, she has lived in Ukraine, France, China, and now Berlin. Over the years, she has expanded her passion for art through diverse studies and experiences — from the Louvre School in Paris to the University of the Arts London, from workshops at the Universität der Künste in Berlin to curatorial programs during the Venice Biennale — and most recently completed studies at Sotheby's Institute of Art in London. Today, she curates experiences that blend art history, conversation, and exploration — always with the goal of making culture feel alive, shared, and inspiring.

*Le Porteur d'histoire* d'Alexis Michalik est une chasse au trésor littéraire et historique. Tickets : https://www.enscene.coursetjardins.org/?page_id=430 Par une nuit pluvieuse, deux hommes découvrent un carnet manuscrit qui les entraîne dans une quête à travers l'Histoire. Quinze ans plus tard, deux inconnu·es débarquent dans la cuisine d'une mère et de sa fille. D'une histoire en entraînant une autre, le récit remonte jusqu'à la disparition légendaire d'une famille noble sous la Révolution française. Un fabuleux trésor attend celle ou celui qui saura résoudre l'énigme… La pièce se joue sur une vingtaine de tableaux croisés où le présent et le passé se répondent, offrant un voyage théâtral haletant entre les époques… -- „Le Porteur d’histoire“ von Alexis Michalik ist eine literarische und historische Schatzsuche. In einer regnerischen Nacht entdecken zwei Männer ein handgeschriebenes Notizbuch, das sie auf eine Reise durch die Geschichte mitnimmt. Fünfzehn Jahre später tauchen zwei Fremde in der Küche einer Mutter und ihrer Tochter auf. Eine Geschichte führt zur nächsten, und die Erzählung reicht bis zum legendären Verschwinden einer Adelsfamilie während der Französischen Revolution zurück. Ein fabelhafter Schatz erwartet denjenigen oder diejenige, der oder die das Rätsel lösen kann… Das Stück spielt sich in etwa zwanzig sich überschneidenden Szenen ab, in denen Gegenwart und Vergangenheit aufeinander treffen und eine atemberaubende theatralische Reise durch die Epochen bieten… à l’ACUD Theater, Berlin du 3, 4 et 5 juillet 2025 im ACUD Theater, Berlin, am 3., 4. und 5. Juli 2025 Durée : 1h30 · Tout public · En français avec sous-titres en Allemand les 3 et 4 juillet Dauer: 1,5 Stunden · Für alle Altersgruppen · Auf Französisch mit deutschen Untertiteln am 3. und 4. Juli Mise en scène : Anaïs Caillaud Distribution : Maïa Baladou, Felix Biegel, Candice Coppere, Frithjof Flemmig, Rosalie Flourac, Alice Fournat, Salomé Friceteau, Anne Gauthier, Léa Giboni, Clara Hild, Damian Jaspar, Solveig Kranzmann, Alexandra Kwasniewski, Morgane Voyer

This is a 3 phase meetup. You can come at any time. 1.) 6:30 - 7:00 p.m.: Gathering at the meeting spot (see link and photo!). 2.) 7:00 - 7:30 p.m.: Walk & Talk through Tiergarten. 3.) 7:30 - 10:00 p.m.: Immerse conversations in the Zollpackhof beer garden (reserved tables for the meetup). **1.) Meeting spot is Henriette Herz Park.** Copy the coordinates into your maps app: **52°30'38.9"N 13°22'24.1"E** The exact meeting spot can also be seen in the photo depicted below (see red arrow). Look for a meetup sign or organizer wearing a black or red lanyard with "staff" written on it. **Best ways to get there:** 1\. S\-Bahn: Get off at Potsdamer Platz by S1, S2 or S25 and walk to the designated meeting spot. 2\. U\-Bahn \(subway\): Alternatively you can get off at Potsdamer Platz by U2 and just walk 5 min straight to the park. 3\. Bus: If you change at mainstation you can take the M41 or M85 to S Potsdamer Platz /Voßstr. and walk to the park. **2.) Walk & Talk through Tiergarten** (the best part imho). During these weird times it essential to connect with nature and like minded people. You will feel instantly energized and an inner calmness afterwards. **3.) How to the find the Zollpackhof beer garden:** https://goo.gl/maps/vDYYaJcFvTmd7hei7 Elisabeth-Abegg-Straße 1, 10557 Berlin We will be sitting outside. Click the gmaps link with the exact meeting spot if you can can't find us! If you enter from the Magnus-Hirschfeld-Ufer, just go to the left part of the beer garden where the self-service is. If you enter from Elisabeth-Abegg-Str, enter the beer garden from the right. *Who is this meetup for:* 1\. Asians who want to practice German and/or English\. 2\. German speaking individuals who are studying \(preferably\) Japanese\, Korean\, Mandarin or Cantonese\. 3\. Anyone who is interested in cultural exchange and wants to socialize\. *What you can expect:* 1\. A professionally organized meetup that can adapt to any changes given the current situation\. 2\. A Walk & Talk to break the ice\. 3\. A collaborating venue where you can further socialize with other members\. *important: This event is at the same time and meeting location like the "Networking & Language Exchange - international" one. So I'm basically organizing 2 events at the same time which means that you can expect way more people than on the list.* *** Whenever you attend a meetup, the most common as well as first question you get is: "Where are you from?" You probably heard this question a million times. Well, at least I did. From my own experience of attending over 200 international meetups in various countries such as Germany, Japan, Australia and Thailand, I can tell you that asking for the name is a better approach. “A person’s name is to that person, the sweetest, most important sound in any language.” - Dale Carnegie If you really want to connect with like-minded people you should remember their name, but you don't have to remember every persons name you've talked you. Be picky about that, don't be me who can somehow remember everyones name easily. Don't tell yourself sth. like "I'm bad at remembering names." It's all about developing the habit of asking for a name and keep the conversation going on. Furthermore, you want to learn German or any other language. Learning the local language is crucial to connect with the locals and developing a true friendship. This can be accomplished with immersion. My goal is to inspire you to go out of your comfort zone and improve yourself each time you join this meetup.
