On démarre le mois de juin avec le thème de la **programmation fonctionnelle.** On explorera tous les concepts autour de la programmation fonctionnelle et pourquoi il est important de les implémenter même dans une stack orientée objet. Pour cette interview du mois sur la programmation fonctionnelle, nous aurons le plaisir d'accueillir [Guillaume Faas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/guillaumefaas/) pour nous parler de son parcours et de son expertise sur le sujet. L'évènement se déroulera **en ligne sans inscription préalable : soyez libre de vous joindre à nous** **Lien de connexion :** https://www.twitch.tv/adventofcraft Rejoignez-nous et venez poser vos questions. Vous pouvez d'ores et déjà échanger avec nous sur le *channel* dédié sur notre discord : https://discord.gg/PEPyAy6Mw => *craft-monthly-2026/*

Cet événement n’est pas un débat académique ni un simple moment de discussion superficielle. Il s’agit avant tout d’un espace d’échange humain, où l’on prend le temps de réfléchir ensemble à nos différences, à notre manière de créer du lien, et à ce qui nous rapproche… ou nous éloigne des autres. Nous aborderons notamment cette question : — Peut-on vraiment se comprendre entre personnes différentes ? Pourquoi certaines personnes nous semblent immédiatement proches, tandis que d’autres nous paraissent impossibles à comprendre ? Peut-on réellement créer un lien malgré des visions du monde, des sensibilités ou des façons de penser différentes ? L’objectif n’est pas de convaincre ou d’avoir raison, mais d’explorer ensemble nos expériences, nos ressentis et nos réflexions dans une ambiance calme et respectueuse. Les échanges restent simples et accessibles : il n’est pas nécessaire d’avoir l’habitude de ce type de discussions. Chacun peut participer à son rythme, ou simplement écouter. Les rencontres se font en petit groupe afin de favoriser des échanges plus sincères et plus humains. Un moment pour ralentir, réfléchir et rencontrer les autres autrement.

Nos cafés socratiques proposent un espace pour oser penser ensemble, à travers la dialectique des contraires. Ils invitent à se confronter aux limites de la pensée afin de révéler les contradictions inhérentes à la réalité. Face au confort des certitudes figées, cet exercice devient une expérience vivante de questionnement. Le dialogue des idées ouvre alors un champ d’observation des tensions et des conflits intérieurs. Penser ensemble, ici, n’est pas chercher des réponses définitives, mais apprendre à élargir notre champs de représentations. **Réservation :** https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1978895433512?aff=oddtdtcreator Ou par mail : lapasserelle75011@gmail.com 👉 Ouvert à tous ! 👉Tarif : 7€ (boisson incluse) 👉lapasserelle75011@gmail.com

🍩🍰 Let's have a weekly deep talk in an intimate Parisian café, share a drink and have a good time with like-minded, lovely and chill people. 🥂☕ We're here to sip life in a childish, simple and non-serious way. 🙃 When was the last time you had a meaningful conversation? Or deepened your relationship with someone in your life? It's not easy to have a deep conversation. While small talk, which is typically casual and light-hearted, can help break the ice, it may not necessarily help you form a deep, emotional connection with someone. Whether it's with your friends, family, colleagues or romantic partners, having meaningful conversations is important for creating strong bonds. "Meaningful conversations help us understand ourselves and those around us better. They involve sharing important aspects of ourselves and actively listening, validating and connecting with others." We believe that a happy and healthy life is built on beautiful relationships and that loneliness kills us. That's it. It's not the number of friends that counts, it's the quality of the relationship. ✅ This group is adressed to : ● People who want to build deep, genuine and caring relationships in a small group that looks the same, where they feel comfortable and emotionally safe to talk emotionally and get intimate about anything in their lives. ● Simple, loving, kind, hyper/sensitive and lovely people who spend a lot of time in their bubble thinking about the meaning of life, passionate about personal development, philosophy, meaningful conversations, debates .... ⛔ Please don't subscribe if : ● You don't see yourself in the group's aims and beliefs. ● You're travelling for a short period of time and don't live or intend to live in Paris. ● You are not sure if you will be able to come, please update your status to allow others on the waiting list to join. An absence without notice will result in an irrevocable ban. Progress : ● ❗ For reservations, I'll send you a private Meetup message at least 5 hours before the meeting to confirm your reservation. If I don't receive a reply 2 hours before the meeting, I will send you a second message to let you know that you will be replaced by someone on the waitlist. ● 💚 We keep the session small, cosy and relaxed in a quiet place, prioritising regularity to encourage intimacy, connection, listening and speaking. (\~ 5/6 people) ● 🔖 On arrival, if you feel comfortable, you will be suggested to choose and associate several drawn Feelings and Needs cards to express how you really feel at the moment, to talk about ourselves and communicate effectively. ● 📝 The best way to make progress is to make the conversation easy and natural, with everyone making an effort to suggest and write down what you want to talk about. You can write down your favourite topics/questions before the meeting. The meeting is participative and invite everyone if you feel comfortable being a leader and a power of suggestion. Anyway, to keep the meeting running smoothly, I'll animate the meeting to make sure the conversation doesn't get wild or boring and I wouldn't hesitate to reframe people. In case of lack of inspiration we have a lot of deep conversation question card game which can help to find interesting questions. ● 🍕 (Not compulsory) After the meeting we can finish in a nearby restaurant for those who wish to relax or continue our conversation. Advice for a good moment : ● Leave your ego and mask at home, we are not here to impress anyone but to be ourselves with our strength, weakness, pride and shame. Come with an open/deep/emotional/complex thought and vulnerability. ● Ask open-ended questions and invite the other person to describe what a situation was like for them or how they felt. ● Don't hesitate to be vulnerable and share information about yourself if needed. Consider sharing personal information first to gain the other person's trust. ● Adopt an attitude of curiosity and genuine interest in what the other person is saying. Be thoughtful and try to put yourself in the other person's shoes so that you can see things from their perspective. Be truthful, caring and honest. ● Listen actively and ask follow-up questions. ● Be empathetic and offer emotional validation so that they feel seen and heard. It is forbidden to judge, but try to understand. ● ⏱ Be aware of your speaking time for Equally Speak. ● 🤫 Be aware never to provoke political or religious ideologies, but to accept differences of belief. Advice on non-violent communication can be given in the meeting to learn not to unintentionally hurt anyone when requested or needed. ● 🚨 Remember to maintain a safe, and benevolent environment. People who are considered to be disruptive, problematic or simply not in tune with the energy of the group will not be allowed to return. Finally, we're hug-friendly !!! 🤗

Une soirée jeux de société pour rencontrer de nouvelles personnes ! Venez seul(e) ou en binôme et on formera des groupes sur place !

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
