Du wirst in jeder Verhandlung beeinflusst. Die Frage ist nur: merkst du es? Verhandlungen werden nicht nur durch Argumente entschieden – sondern durch den Rahmen, in dem sie geführt werden. **Framing beeinflusst jede Verhandlung.** Es bestimmt, was als fair, sinnvoll oder attraktiv wahrgenommen wird. Auch du wirst in jeder Verhandlung durch Framing beeinflusst – oft ohne es zu merken. In diesem Workshop lernst du, diese Mechanismen zu erkennen und gezielt für dich zu nutzen. ### **Das nimmst du mit** * Verständnis, wie Framing Entscheidungen und Verhandlungen beeinflusst – auch bei dir selbst * Fähigkeit, Frames früh zu erkennen und einzuordnen * Techniken, um Verhandlungen aktiv zu steuern * Strategien, um ungünstige oder manipulative Frames zu hinterfragen und zu verändern * Konkrete Anwendung anhand typischer Gehalts-, Projekt- und Preisverhandlungen ### **Inhalt und Ablauf** * Kompakter Input zu den Grundlagen von Framing in Verhandlungen * Analyse typischer Beispiele aus realen Verhandlungssituationen * Interaktive Übungen, in denen du Frames erkennst und selbst anwendest * Reflexion und Austausch in der Gruppe ### **Für wen ist dieser Workshop geeignet?** Dieser Workshop richtet sich an: * Studierende und Berufstätige * Alle, die **Verhandlungen bewusster führen** möchten * Personen, die sich in Gesprächen oft unter Wert verkaufen * Einsteiger:innen ohne Vorerfahrung Vorkenntnisse sind nicht erforderlich. ### **Teilnahmegebühr** ● **€ 15 Early-Bird-Ticket** – bei Onlinebuchung mindestens **3 Tage im Voraus unter dem folgenden Link:** https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QF5I9EFL ● **€ 20 regulärer Preis** – **vor Ort**, registrierung auf Meetup notwendig (Kartenzahlung möglich) ### **Über AANCM** Die **Austrian Association for Negotiation and Conflict Management (AANCM)** ist eine Initiative zur Förderung von Verhandlungs- und Konfliktkompetenz. Wir organisieren Workshops und Trainings zu: * Verhandlung * Kommunikation * Konfliktmanagement * Professional Development Unser Ziel: **Praxisnahe und leistbare Weiterbildung für Studierende und junge Berufstätige.** Unsere Veranstaltungen verbinden **Theorie, Praxis und Reflexion** – in einer **offenen und unterstützenden Community**. 🌐 www.negotiator.at 📧 office@negotiator.at 🔗 Folge uns auf LinkedIn und Meetup **This event is marketed on other platforms as well.

**Walk & Talk** Willst du auch mehr Bewegung in dein Leben bringen? Und dich dabei noch gut unterhalten, so dass die Zeit verfliegt? Dann bist du hier genau richtig, denn mir geht es genauso. Alleine ist langweilig und die Zeit vergeht nicht, daher hab ich mir Walk & Talk überlegt. Inspiriert wurde ich durch die Walk & Talk Gruppe in Hamburg, wo ich mehrere Male dabei war als ich in Hamburg lebte. Unterschiedliche Menschen treffen sich einmal in der Woche für einen flotten Spaziergang und unterhalten sich dabei. Ich liebe es neue Menschen kennenzulernen und auch bekannte Gesichter wiederzusehen, dann geh ich ganz nebenbei und das macht auch noch Spaß.😊 **Walk:** Wir brauchen einfach regelmäßige Bewegung und ich weiß selbst, wie schwierig es ist, diese in den Alltag zu integrieren. Deshalb ist dieser Walk genau richtig. Nach diesem Spaziergang fühlst du dich einfach wohl, fit und entspannt. **Talk:** Das Reden kommt ganz von selbst beim Gehen. Du kannst über alles reden, egal, ob privates oder berufliches, alles was sich ergibt ist willkommen. Und wenn du keinen Bock aufs Reden hast, dann gehst du alleine, auch das ist völlig in Ordnung. **Wie das ganze abläuft:** * Die Teilnahme ist völlig kostenlos. * Wo: U6 Spittelau (im Freien), Richtung Donaukanal, Ausgang Josef-Holaubek-Platz, direkt vor dem Fernwärme-Turm (https://maps.app.goo.gl/XwAayz4FQe2EW8WK9) Wenn du mit der U4 kommst, geh bitte zum Hauptgebäude, wo die Züge und die U6 fahren. * Wann: Wir treffen uns dienstags um 13 Uhr, egal, ob bei Regen, Sturm und Kälte oder bestem Sonnenschein – Walk & Talk findet nahezu JEDE Woche statt außer ich bin mal im Urlaub. * Wir starten pünktlich und beginnen mit einer kurzen Vorstellungsrunde. * Wie gehen am Donaukanal entlang von Höhe Spittelau bis zum Schwedenplatz und zurück. * Ca. 7 Kilometer sind wir unterwegs und unterhalten uns dabei mit interessanten Menschen. Dabei kannst du neue Bekanntschaften schließen, dich inspirieren lassen, von Projekten erzählen oder einfach nur smalltalken und die frische Luft genießen. Alles ist erlaubt. * Nach ca. 1,75 Stunden sind wir wieder am Ausgangspunkt zurück. * Bei einer Teilnahme von über 5 Personen gehen wir in Paaren und wechseln diese alle 10 Min. Wenn du aber lieber alleine gehst, ist das auch vollkommen in Ordnung. * Für alle, die einfach mal etwas Neues ausprobieren wollen. **Bist du bereit?** Dann komm mit! **Start bei U6 Spittelau Ausgang Donaukanal** Nochmal: um **PUNKT 13.00 Uhr dort sein**, denn **nach kurzen Vorstellungsrunde gehen wir gleich los. Sei pünktlich, denn die Gruppe wartet nicht.** Du musst nichts vorbereiten oder dich gar anmelden, komm einfach vorbei. Ausreden gibt es nicht. Geh mit und freu dich auf eine tolle neue Erfahrung. **Wer macht es?** Ich bin Marie Meyer-Marktl und Ideengeberin, Host und Organisatorin von Walk & Talk. Ich unterstütze seit 2019 Menschen dabei Freude ins Arbeitsleben zu bekommen und bin Business und Life Coachin. „Strahle, wenn du an deine Arbeit denkst“, ist meine Vision für jedermann und jedefrau. Privat merkte ich, dass ich endlich wieder mehr Bewegung brauche – und das klappt am besten gemeinsam mit anderen Menschen. Sei dabei bei Walk & Talk und bring Bewegung in dein Leben. **Do you speak English? Then welcome to Walk & Talk!** This event is suited for all people who like to connect to other people and like to walk. The beauty of this regular event is that you are in the nature and you walk around 7 kilometers. In the meantime, if you feel for it, you talk, if not, you just walk. You do something for your health, get to know new people and you will feel much better. It’s FREE, all you need to do is to show up this Tuesday at no later than 1 pm at the U6 Spittelau exit to Donaukanal.

We know that meeting new people in Vienna’s Meetup scene can feel a bit repetitive. While different hosts and formats exist, you often end up seeing the same faces. That’s why we’re shaking things up! We’ve teamed up with Mausen Bar to bring you an exciting new Board Game Night - one that goes beyond Meetup and expands your social circle even further! 📅 Every Tuesday (except some holidays/celebrations), 7-10PM 📍 Mausen Bar (Türkenstraße 33, 1090 Wien). Join us for an evening of fun, laughter, and great company. Whether you’re a board game enthusiast or just looking to meet new people in a relaxed setting, this is the perfect event for you! Plus, you can order delicious food and drinks right at the venue while you play. Come for the games, stay for the connections, and make Vienna feel even more like home. See you there! Please note that this free event is made possible through the generous support of the restaurant. In order to maintain a strong partnership and continue offering events like this at no cost, we kindly ask that all attendees support the venue by placing an order during their visit. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

A Branch of the **Social Book Club** focusing on International Cinema. I find films based on the taste profile of the cinephiles that regularly attend. We the Lovely Folks of the **Social Film Club, are back for the 30th Edition** this Saturday! 🎬🌿🕊️ ☀️ We start at **18:30** hrs. Films chosen for this week are: 🎥 **Either one of these two** 🎥**slow, dreamlike masterpieces** — we'll decide together: **1\. The Spirit of the Beehive \(1973\)** A haunting Spanish film seen through the eyes of a young girl after the Civil War. Childhood, silence, and imagination — sparked by a screening of Frankenstein. Mysterious and quietly devastating. IMDb: 7.8/10 – Runtime: 1h 39m. OR **2\. Mirror \(1975\)** Tarkovsky's personal collage of memory, dreams, and Russian history. Childhood, war, and time — drifting between past and present. Non-linear and visually overwhelming. IMDb: 8.0/10 – Runtime: 1h 47m. 🍽️ Post Meetup Food at **China Zentrum Stiegengasse!** 😁😁 If you just joined, please fill up this survey so we can better tailor the films we show. [https://forms.gle/juPwhehSV2NosLee9](https://forms.gle/juPwhehSV2NosLee9) **PS -** I can guarantee comfortable seating for 10 people. People in the waitlist can show up as well, because a lot of people sign up but don't show up. The event takes place at the Social Welfare organization called **MUT**. It is an organisation that works on social issues such as Emergency & Homeless Assistance, Food Rescue and Environment Protection. MUT is a non profit organization that provides us with the space to host the event. A small donation towards their cause helps them a lot.

Pride Block Party is a Queer Vienna protest and celebration. It takes place in the street. It is built by the people who show up. This is a DIY effort. No sponsors. No corporate backing. It runs on time, labor, care, and commitment. It asks for participation and shared responsibility. It asks you to help build the space you want to see. May 23 14:00 to 21:00 Spörlinggasse, 1060 Vienna Throughout the day, the street becomes a shared platform. You will find: • Workshops led by community members and organizers • Performances from local artists and collectives • Info booths from organizations working across Vienna • A kids’ corner for families and younger visitors • Vendors offering food, art, and materials • Space to meet, talk, and build connections • An after-party to close the day together All donations from the event will go directly to the Queer Mutual Aid Fund. This ensures that support reaches people in the community who need it most. This Block Party is not something you attend. It is something you help create. Participation is open. You can take part in ways that match your skills and interests.

Welcome Book Lovers! Join our Meet Up Group to find like-minded book readers! This event is for everybody interested in listening or sharing new book content or comment on it. You are welcome just to come for inspiration. You definitely don't need to read books at the moment. It is a gathering for everybody to find like-minded people interested in learning something new. :) Feel free to bring your own book with you. The event will take place at the volunteer organisation MUT. It is an organisation to supports humans, animals and the environment especially in Vienna. I am happy to host it there. MUT or the Social Book Club look forward to some donation to cover the cost of this event. If you would like to help, please bring some cash with you. This is the address: Rechte Wienzeile 37, 1040 Wien Walk until the end of the main entrance hall. At the end of the hallway you find a big green gate with a sign of the Social Book Club. Please give your best to be on time so that we can have a nice introduction round together. If you can't attend anymore please cancel the event to give someone else the space to come. :) Check out the Social Book Club Website for more content: https://socialbookclub.de/ Looking forward to seeing you there! :)

Across the world, different cultures have the same word for the same sacred thing. In the Arab world, it's ***sufra*** — the spread that holds the room. Across Spain and Latin America, ***sobremesa*** — the hours no one wants to leave the table. In Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean, ***keyif*** — unhurried pleasure (the Greeks call it *kefi*, same ancient root). Across Italy and the Lusophone world — Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique — ***convivio*** — living together through the meal. In Southern Africa, ***ubuntu*** — "I am because we are." In Okinawa, ***moai*** — the lifelong circle that eats, walks, and grows old together. Across Malaysia and Indonesia, ***makan-makan*** — the easy, communal feast. In the Sikh tradition across South Asia, ***langar*** — where every person eats as equal, seated on the same floor. Eight cultures. Eight words. One truth: **the long table, the slow meal, the people who start as strangers and end as family.** The Blue Zones research — Dan Buettner's work on the five places where humans live longest and healthiest (Okinawa, Sardinia, Ikaria, Nicoya, Loma Linda) — keeps pointing back to this. Not the recipe. The table. The presence. The time. So let's do it. **What:** One long table. Food we cook together. Hours of real conversation — emotions, relationships, philosophy, and yes, politics — not as sides, but as the questions we all carry. Here, what usually divides a room becomes the ground we meet on. **What we leave behind:** Phones. All digital devices. None of the cultures we're honouring tonight needed them at the table — and the Blue Zones research is unambiguous: real longevity, real connection, real nervous-system repair happens only where we are not being scrolled into a loop. **What we bring:** Ourselves. Our culture. Whatever we're carrying. Whatever we want to share. **Open to everyone:** Whether your grandmother cooked in Beirut, Madrid, Istanbul, Naples, Johannesburg, Okinawa, Jakarta, or Amritsar — or nowhere at all — you belong at this table. The whole point is that nobody's culture runs the room. Every tradition sits beside every other. **Before the event:** A poll goes out, so we choose the menu together. **Now:** I'm looking for the right location — outdoors if possible, somewhere near Vienna. A garden, a terrace, a piece of land with trees and sky. If you have a spot or know one, message me. This is ours to build. Come as you are. Stay as long as it takes. *A small ritual before the ritual: a short call beforehand, 10 to 15 minutes. Not to screen you — to meet you. Every culture at this table starts a meal with a greeting. Ours starts here.* — Tom

Let’s meet and wander the galleries! General admission on Sundays is free.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.

**You're invited to join local Columbus animal advocates as we watch PETA's workshop together on cage-free campaigns. Free vegan pizza will be provided! After the workshop Q&A, we'll have a group discussion and brainstorm on future activism plans.
