Hello fellow Symfonians, we are thrilled to announce the next user group meeting of the year, featuring two insightful talks that you **won't want to miss**! This time we are hosted by c-base (Rungestrasse 20 10179 Berlin). Come by and enjoy an evening of learning, networking, and socializing with fellow Symfony and PHP developers. **Agenda:** 18:30: Doors open 19:00: Welcome and Introduction 19:20: **Talk 1: "Maintainable Frontends for Symfony" by Daniela Berger** 19:50: Break & Snack 20:00: **Talk 2: "Why every CMS needs MCP" by Roland Golla** 20:40: Socializing **Talk Details:** **Talk 1: "Maintainable Frontends for Symfony" by Daniela Berger** In many web projects we find more backend devs than frontend devs, sometimes significantly so. This often leads to devs with little frontend experience being asked to do frontend development anyway, and they often end up shaping their frontends in ways that will make their lives unnecessarily hard. One common result are frontends that are functionally unmaintainable because each change - whether it is a new feature or a bugfix - requires implementing an exception to existing code, thus making the code increasingly and unnecessarily complex. This is especially upsetting because with a bit of experience it is possible to implement light-weight frontend components with equally elegant CSS and JavaScript that are easy to extend and to adapt to new requirements without digging oneself into a deeper hole with each PR. And since Symfony is making frontend development steadily more accessible to backend devs with Symfony US / Stimulus, this is a good time to take a closer look at \*how\* to structure these frontends. This talk aims to a) introduce core frontend concepts that backend devs might not be aware of, b) show best frontend practices both on the code level and on the architecture level, c) show a few common mistakes that can be found in inexpertly implemented frontends, and c) introduce tools that will make consistent frontend development easier. **Talk 2: "Why every CMS needs MCP" by Roland Golla** Your content team already works in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Yet the content still lands in the CMS backend manually, clumsily, slowly. MCP changes that. One sentence in chat becomes a published article. No copy pasting, no formatting, no clicking. And the content ranks. On Google, on ChatGPT, on Perplexity, on whatever comes next. Good content written by AI directly into the CMS goes live faster and gets found. I show you the MCP plugin for Sulu CMS: open source, built on Symfony, ready to deploy. But this is not about implementation. It is about the three questions every content team must ask: Why does every website need MCP? What does good AI content look like? And why is conversational content management better than anything you click together in a backend? MCP makes content creation as easy as chat. If you can write, you can publish. No CMS training, no workflow, no waiting. Live on stage: a complete workflow from idea in chat to published article in Sulu CMS. Everything open source on GitHub. Don't miss these insightful talks, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities. We can't wait to see you at the **April Symfony User Group**!" If you have any questions or accessibility requirements, please reach out to us. Also, if your company wants to be the next host for the User Group, just let us know!

A playful creative workshop where we turn everyday materials and old clothes into something new. Each week we explore a different idea: cutting, painting, experimenting with colours, or transforming old garments into fun new creations. Using simple materials and a lot of imagination, we discover how small changes can make something ordinary become something special again. No big experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to try. Some workshops only need scissors, others invite you to paint, experiment or invent your own designs. Bring something old that you would like to transform, wear clothes that can get messy, and come create with us! Every workshop is a little different — but creativity, playfulness and surprises are always included. Check every Wednesday which workshop is going on! donation based all ages are wellcome ! \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Ein spielerischer Kreativ-Workshop, in dem wir Alltagsmaterialien und alte Kleidung in etwas Neues verwandeln. Jede Woche entdecken wir eine andere Idee: schneiden, malen, mit Farben experimentieren oder alte Kleidung in neue Lieblingsstücke verwandeln. Mit einfachen Materialien und viel Fantasie wird aus etwas Gewöhnlichem wieder etwas Besonderes. Vorkenntnisse sind nicht nötig — nur Neugier und Lust, etwas auszuprobieren. Manche Workshops brauchen nur eine Schere, andere laden zum Malen und Experimentieren ein. Bring etwas Altes mit, das du verwandeln möchtest, zieh Kleidung an, die auch mal schmutzig werden darf, und komm zum Kreativsein vorbei! Jede Woche ist anders — schau mittwochs vorbei und entdecke den aktuellen Workshop. auf Spendenbasis, ohne Anmeldung Alle Altersgruppen sind willkommen

Bengali New Year Celebration Step into a new year, Bengali style 🌿✨ Pohela Boishakh marks the Bengali New Year—a celebration of renewal, simplicity, community, and food that is deeply rooted in tradition. This evening is an invitation to experience that spirit in an intimate, thoughtfully curated supper club setting. If you’re new to Bengali cuisine, this is a beautiful place to begin. The menu will center around bhorta—a traditional style of preparing food where vegetables, seeds, and herbs are gently mashed together with mustard oil, spices, and care. It’s humble, soulful, and incredibly expressive of Bengali home cooking. This edition will be fully vegetarian, highlighting the diversity and depth of plant-based dishes in Bengali culture. Each preparation carries a story- of seasonality, resourcefulness, and the art of making something extraordinary from simple ingredients. The full menu will be shared a few days before the event. If you have any dietary restrictions or food allergies, please let us know in advance so we can accommodate you thoughtfully. ✨ What to expect: – A curated cultural dining experience – A chance to learn about Bengali New Year traditions – Warm, communal seating and storytelling through food – A slower, more intentional way to connect over a meal 💳 Contribution: 29.90€ per person Come as you are, bring your curiosity,and celebrate new beginnings with us. If you feel a bit unsure, you can check our instagram account for past event photos to get a feel -> [https://www.instagram.com/appayonberlin?igsh=d3ZjcnFteG10cWZz&utm_source=qr](https://www.instagram.com/appayonberlin?igsh=d3ZjcnFteG10cWZz&utm_source=qr)

This is a 3 phase meetup. You can come at any time. 1.) 6:45 -7:00 p.m.: Gathering at the meeting spot (see gmaps link!) 2.) 7:00 - 7:30 p.m.: Walk & Talk to the Kerb food court. 3.) 7:30 - 10:00 p.m.: Immerse conversations in the Kerb food court. 🪑: Reserved tables for the meetup. **1.) How to the find Quartier 205 Stadtmitte:** [https://goo.gl/maps/6Fhft3LbPhcEsQrdA](https://goo.gl/maps/6Fhft3LbPhcEsQrdA) The exact meeting spot can be seen in the photo below! We meet on the 1st floor where the trash sculpture can be seen. Look for a meetup sign or organizer wearing a black or red lanyard with "staff" written on it. **2.) Walk & Talk to the Kerb food court** The best part. In order to extend the walk we'll stroll all the way to Brandenburger gate and from there to the former Sony Center where we are going to enter the Kerb foodcourt. **3\. How to find the Kerb food court** [https://maps.app.goo.gl/xJTQg9oBoGL67syz7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/xJTQg9oBoGL67syz7) Kerb is located at the former Sony Center. The new flagship food court of Potsdamer Platz. Most likely we will be sitting upstairs on the first floor next to the bar (take the stairs to the left). ***Best ways to get there:*** 1\. U2 \(subway\): Get off at Potsdamer Platz and walk around 7 min to Kerb. 2\. Bus M41 or M85 Get off at Potsdamer Platz and walk 5 min to Kerb. *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 collaborating venue where you can further socialize with other members\. *important: This event is held 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.

**Embodied Consent** mit **Kuem** für **LGBTIQA+** Kostenlos mit **[Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/embodied-consent/w17-2026-2/)** **Lernen über Grenzen und Kommunikation** Wenn Sie noch nicht an einem Workshop zum Thema Consent im Village teilgenommen haben, ist es jetzt an der Zeit! Dieser Workshop ist sehr zu empfehlen für alle, die unser Projekt regelmäßig besuchen oder an einem unserer Workshops teilnehmen möchten. Diese Erfahrung wird Ihnen nicht nur helfen, sich in der we.are.village-Community zurechtzufinden, sondern sie wird Sie auch dazu befähigen, diese Werte in Ihr Leben zu übertragen. Sich seiner Grenzen bewusst zu sein und sein Einverständnis oder Nicht-Einverständnis auszudrücken, sind wichtige Fähigkeiten im Leben, aber wir haben nicht oft die Gelegenheit, die Fähigkeit des Einverständnisses auf die gleiche Weise zu üben wie andere Fähigkeiten, wie Singen, Sport treiben oder eine Sprache lernen. Bei Consent geht es um viel mehr als ein einfaches Ja oder Nein. Wenn wir die Zustimmung dekonstruieren, entdecken wir, wie wir unsere wahren Wünsche kommunizieren können, und hören auf, Dinge zu wählen, die wir nicht wollen. Durch Diskussionen, Bewegung und Partnerspiele werden wir Werkzeuge entwickeln, um körperliche Wünsche auszudrücken und zu verhandeln und durch praktische Übungen Grenzen zu setzen. Dieser Workshop ist für Menschen aller Körpergrößen, Geschlechter und Hintergründe offen und einladend. Es handelt sich um einen nicht-sexuellen Workshop bei dem, ohne Druck, Kommunikation und Berührung geübt werden können. Es geht genauso darum, wirklich Ja zu sagen und es auch so zu meinen, wie es darum geht, Nein zu sagen! Wenn Sie noch nicht an einem Workshop zum Thema Consent im Village teilgenommen haben, ist es jetzt an der Zeit! Diese Erfahrung wird Ihnen nicht nur helfen, sich in der we are village Community zurechtzufinden, sondern sie wird Sie auch dazu befähigen, diese Werte in Ihr Leben zu übertragen. Gemeinsam wollen wir eine auf Consent ausgerichtete Gemeinschaft mit gemeinsamen Werten aufbauen und dabei die Verantwortung des Einzelnen für die Einhaltung dieser Grundsätze betonen. Unser oberstes Ziel ist es, gesunde Beziehungen zu fördern und eine integrative Community für eine bessere, vernetzte Zukunft zu schaffen. 🔵 **Embodied Consent** with **Kuem** for **LGBTIQA+** Free **[Registration Required](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/embodied-consent/w17-2026-2/)** **Learning about boundaries and communication**. If you have not yet attended a workshop on Consent in the Village, now is the time! This workshop is highly recommended for anyone wishing to visit our project on a regular basis, or to attend one of our workshops. This experience will not only help you navigate within the we.are.village community, but it will also equip you to carry these values into your life. Being aware of your boundaries and expressing your consent or non-consent are essential skills in life, but we don’t often get a chance to actually practice consent skills in the same way we practice other skills, like singing, playing sports or learning a language. Consent is about much more than a simple yes or no. When we deconstruct consent, we discover how to communicate our true desires and stop choosing the things we actually don’t want. Through discussion, movement and partner games, we will build tools to express and negotiate physical desires and set boundaries through the use of practical exercises. This workshop is inclusive and welcoming to individuals of all body sizes, genders, and background. This is a non-sexual workshop, and great, low pressure situation in which to practice communication and touching. It’s as much about how to truly say yes and mean it as it is about saying no! If you have not yet attended a workshop on Consent in the Village, now is the time! This experience will not only help you navigate within the we are village community, but it will also equip you to carry these values into your life. Together, we aim to nurture a consent-centered community with shared values, emphasizing individual responsibility in upholding these principles. Our ultimate goal is to foster healthy relationships and create an inclusive community for a better, more connected future.
