We'll start off the session with a run in Gleisdreieck park that might include scaling some walls, visiting a few sites in the area to explore their opportunities for climbing and balancing, or going up or down stairs in unusual ways. After the outdoors bit, we come back to our gym where we focus on building strength, working as a group, and learning basic martial arts techniques. We are a small, accessible, mixed-gender, queer-friendly group open to anyone, without any prior knowledge or specific degree of fitness required. Our martial art is Jutaijutsu, a traditional Japanese one focused on self-defence. Sounds interesting? We'd love for you to drop by and join us. You'll need running shoes and comfortable workout clothes, including a raincoat or the like for the park if the weather is bad. Once indoors, we train barefoot. The first three Meetups are free of charge. If you'd like to join our group beyond that, we would ask you to join our association, https://yanagi.berlin, a martial arts school based in Berlin. Membership there is 30 EUR/month and you will be able to train three times a week.

In diesem Kurs beschäftigen wir uns mit verschiedenen Texten aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen. Das können u.a. kurze Geschichten, Gedichte, Zeitungsartikel, Kolumnen oder Videos sein. Immer sind es Themen, die uns gefallen, die wir besonders interessant, wichtig oder manchmal auch richtig schlecht finden. Gemeinsam versuchen wir die Position der Autor*in, den Stil und die Argumentationsstruktur zu verstehen. Dazu diskutieren wir über das, was wir verstehen, welche Meinung wir zu dem Thema haben oder welche Fragen offen bleiben.
Gerne könnt ihr uns auch Themenvorschläge mitbringen oder zuschicken.
Der Kurs richtet sich an interessierte Menschen mit einem B2-Niveau (oder so ähnlich), die Lust haben sich weiter mit der deutschen Sprache zu beschäftigen und ihren Wortschatz zu erweitern.
Die Termine sind sporadisch.

**Film Night – Living Legend Series: Wieland Speck** For **LGBTQIA+** **[Free with registration](https://wearevillage.org/shop/village-film/w27-2026)** Guest: ***Marcelo Alves*** **Living Legend Series: Wieland Speck** Intro: 20:00 Screening starts at 20:15 “Bei uns Zu Hause - Chez Nous” 35 min or TBD “David Montgomery und Ich” 16 min “Zimmer 303” 16 min (In German with English subtitles) Although “Legendary” and “iconic” are overused in queer-speak, sometimes the terms fit the person, as it does for this month’s Film night. Join us for a rare opportunity to speak with Wieland Speck, one of queer cinemas “legends” about his own work as a director and his influence on queer cinema as chief curator and head of the prestigious Panorama section of the Berlinale film festival. Typically out of the public eye, his most celebrated work “Westler” is often shown as an example of queer cinema out of Germany, so to have him select from his body of work will give us an insider’s perspective on his intentions as a director and what is conveyed to the audience. For the discussion we will explore particular themes in his films, his influence on the industry and his role in launching directors to the world stage. Please join us in honouring one of the living legends of queer cinema, the iconic Wieland Speck. **About the Village Film Night** Film Night is a monthly event that explores the wide world of queer cinema and beyond. Our selections cover a range of genres and styles, from film history classics to the latest in young queer cinema. Each screening is an opportunity to discover new narratives and voices, engaging with stories that challenge norms and celebrate diversity.

Juni 2026 Intro: 20:00 Uhr Filmbeginn: 20:15 Uhr „Bei uns Zu Hause – Chez Nous“ 35 Min. oder TBD „David Montgomery und Ich“ 16 Min. „Zimmer 303“ 16 Min. (Auf Deutsch mit englischen Untertiteln) Obwohl „legendär“ und „ikonisch“ im queeren Sprachgebrauch oft überstrapaziert werden, gibt es Momente, in denen diese Begriffe wirklich passen – so auch bei der diesmonatigen Filmnacht. Begleitet uns zu einer seltenen Gelegenheit, mit Wieland Speck ins Gespräch zu kommen, einer der „Legenden“ des queeren Kinos. Wir sprechen mit ihm über seine eigene Arbeit als Regisseur sowie über seinen Einfluss auf das queere Kino als Chefkurator und Leiter der renommierten Panorama-Sektion der Berlinale. Meist eher im Hintergrund tätig, wird sein bekanntestes Werk „Westler“ häufig als Beispiel für queeres Kino aus Deutschland gezeigt. Umso spannender ist es, dass er selbst eine Auswahl aus seinem Œuvre präsentiert und uns damit eine Insider-Perspektive auf seine Intentionen als Regisseur und die Wirkung auf das Publikum ermöglicht. Im anschließenden Gespräch widmen wir uns zentralen Themen seiner Filme, seinem Einfluss auf die Branche sowie seiner Rolle dabei, Regisseur\*innen auf die internationale Bühne zu bringen. Kommt vorbei und ehrt mit uns eine der lebenden Legenden des queeren Kinos – den ikonischen Wieland Speck. **Über die Filmnacht am Village** Die monatliche Filmnacht von we are village hat sich zu einem Muss für Cineasten entwickelt, die eine Auswahl an beliebten Klassikern genießen wollen. Das Programm umfasst eine breite Erkundung queerer und nicht-normativer Perspektiven in verschiedenen Genres und künstlerischen Stilen, die über LGBTQIA+Themen hinausgehen. Nach jeder Vorführung werden die Gäste zum Verweilen und zur Teilnahme an entspannten Gruppendiskussionen über die Filme und damit verbundene Themen eingeladen. *\*\* Diese Veranstaltung ist Teil unseres Programms ‚****[Gemeinsam statt einsam](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness)****‚, unterstützt von der* ***[LADS](https://www.berlin.de/sen/lads/)****.* *Erfahre mehr über das Programm [hier](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness).*

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

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.

The topic for July is "Shoes" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
