Information Architecture

Making friends isn’t easy but it’s not completely random either - opening up is key. Instead of doing that in a cafe with noises, our small-group (limited to 10 people) meet-up wants to forge deep connections through talking about something personal, something more than meets the eyes in s safe space - without being disturbed or judged. We believe in the power of being vulnerable. Without that, people don’t know who you really are and what your story is. Whether you just moved to Berlin or have lived here for years, this is an opportunity to meet people who care about similar things and are willing to talk about it. How? We use tried-and-proved questions cards to lead the conversations and break into smaller groups for an even more comfortable setting to chat deep. That’s along with snacks and drinks. We just started hosting for a while so this event is completely free. The only thing you bring is a good mood, an open mind and detailed feedback for us. (We refrained from taking photos of our participants to protect their privacy so the event photo is a generic one) Q&A: What’s the language of the event? It’s in English. One of the hosts is German so he can help with some translation but all conversations will be in English. What are the food and drinks provided? We offer chips, water and juices. You are welcome to bring your own.

**This event is taking place online.** You know AI is shifting how work happens. But where does it fit in *your* team? Maybe you're using it somewhere and not sure it's working. Maybe you've held back because you're not confident. Maybe you can't agree on when to use it. Welcome to an honest decision-making conversation. 17:00 — Intro 17:05 — When do you use AI, when not? (In your teams, right now) What's missing to decide well together? 17:15 — Simple frameworks for making these choices 17:30 — Examples and take-aways 17:45 — Questions and wrap-up This is the second session in our series. We'll test some decision-making frameworks together and learn what actually helps your team choose clearly, because the best decisions come in good company.

It is a bit too early for a midsummer night party, but on the weekend the weather forecast predicts thunderstorms. On Friday evening, we will celebrate midsummer night with a hike through Königswald and a picnic, including swimming, at Sacrower Lake. We’ll meet at the Wannsee ferry terminal (near Wannsee S-Bahn station) at 17:55 and take the ferry to Alt-Kladow at 6 pm. The ferry ride is covered by a standard BVG ticket (Zone B). (The next ferry leaves an hour later, so please allow about 5 minutes to walk from the S-Bahn station to the terminal.) From Alt-Kladow, we’ll follow freely this Komoot route: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/1585149981 . I aim at a hike duration of 2 1/2 hours. After 12 km, we want to arrive at Sacrower Lake. Bring swimwear, food and drinks and, if you like, champagne to celebrate the best time of the year. At around 22:30 we leave the lake and head for the bus station in Alt-Kladow. For communication during the hike, I will send a Signal group link to all participants via private message a couple of hours before the hike. This timing is intended to prevent non-participants from misusing the link for unwanted advertising, which has happened in the past. Signal allows us to share our locations during the hike without involuntarily forwarding this information to the intelligence services of authoritarian or non-authoritarian states, but unfortunately the location sharing function does not include tracking, i.e. no continuous updates. For all other purposes, especially socialising and posting photos, please use the Telegram subgroup 'Event Chat & Photos': https://t.me/addlist/KAOk2PA4BDE0ZTY8 . The hike will take place if at least 6 people sign up. As long as there are more than 6 people, you can sign up and cancel as many times as you like. If there are 6 or less people, please avoid cancelling, as this might make the other participants feel insecure about whether the hike will take place (or whether there is something wrong with the hike and they should cancel as well --> Matthew effect - Wikipedia). If there are less than 6 participants, the hike will also take place unless the majority of the participants are in favor of canceling the hike.

Wir freuen uns Euch einen speziellen Abend mit Dinner & DJ bieten zu können. Dinner Kosten sind erschwinglich und das Essen ist extravagant und griechisch modern. Ein kleiner Sommerurlaub in Berlin mit DJ Vibes und Tanzmöglichkeit, wenn Ihr möchtet. Dinner ist nicht inkludiert und muss extra gebucht werden. Getränke sind auf Selbstzahler Basis ausser dem Willkommenstrunk für unsere Mitglieder.

**Summer Play Ritual** *Sensual Touch Lab Series* Mit ***Markus Kaufmann*** Für **GBTQ Männer\*** **[ANMELDUNG](https://wearevillage.org/shop/sensual-touch/w25-2026)** Mitglieder **15 €** Nicht-Mitglieder **30 €** In dieser Session richten wir den Fokus nach innen und erforschen, wie das Zusammenspiel von Erregung und Entspannung unser körperlich-sinnliches Erleben beeinflussen kann. Gleich einem Aufheizen und Abkühlen zwischen Tag und Nacht im Sommer lädt dieses Ritual zu einem spielerischen Ansatz ein, der alle Sinne einbezieht und körperliche Entfaltung ermöglicht, während zugleich das Nervensystem reguliert werden kann. So wie sich die Natur im Sommer vollständig entfaltet, dürfen auch wir uns öffnen und neue sinnliche Erfahrungen entdecken. Das Ritual begleitet die Teilnehmenden auf einer Reise der Selbsterforschung, intimer Eins-zu-eins-Begegnungen und gemeinsamer Gruppenerfahrungen. Die Erfahrung entfaltet sich in zwei Teilen: Zunächst führt ein\*e Facilitator durch angeleitete Übungen, die Vertrauen und Neugier fördern. Darauf folgt eine freiere und intuitivere Phase, die auf dem im ersten Teil entstandenen sinnlichen Bewusstsein aufbaut. Während der gesamten Erfahrung ist Kleidung optional und persönliche Grenzen werden jederzeit respektiert. **Vorteile** • Schafft wertvolle, gemeinsame Erfahrungen unter GBTQ Männer\* durch Nähe, Empathie und Verbundenheit. • Bekämpft Gefühle der Isolation und Einsamkeit. • Fördert Selbstliebe und Akzeptanz des eigenen Körpers und der Identität. • Bietet einen sicheren, urteilsfreien Raum zur Erforschung persönlicher Grenzen. • Trägt zum allgemeinen Wohlbefinden bei und unterstützt die Fähigkeit, dauerhafte Beziehungen aufzubauen. • Kann als gesunder Bewältigungsmechanismus dienen und das Risiko von Substanzmissbrauch reduzieren. **Hinweise** • Dieses Format ist für alle queeren Männer\*/Männlichkeiten, die Berührung in einer einvernehmlichen, unterstützenden Atmosphäre erfahren möchten. • Bitte lege Wert auf persönliche Hygiene. • Bringe zum Abdecken von Kissen, Matten oder Massageliegen ein Laken und ein Handtuch mit. • Dieser Workshop wird auf Englisch durchgeführt. • Dieses Event ist auch zu einem ermäßigten Mitgliederpreis erhältlich – aber kein Bestandteil der zwei kostenlosen monatlichen Mitgliederveranstaltungen. • Ermäßigter Zugang ist auf schriftliche Anfrage an: **[events@wearevillage.org](mailto:events@wearevillage.org)** 🔵 **Sensual Play Ritual** *Sensual Touch Lab Series* With ***Markus Kaufmann*** For **GBTQ men\*** **[BOOK YOUR TICKET!](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/sensual-touch/w25-2026/)** Members **15 €** Regular **30 €** In this session, we turn our attention inward and explore how the interplay between arousal and relaxation can shape our embodied and sensual experience. Inspired by the rhythm of heating up and cooling down — like hot summer days followed by cool nights — this ritual invites a playful approach that engages all the senses and encourages full-bodied exploration, while supporting nervous system regulation. Just as nature unfolds in the summer, we too are invited to open ourselves fully and discover new sensory experiences. This ritual guides participants through a journey of self-exploration, intimate one-to-one encounters, and shared group experiences. The experience unfolds in two parts: it begins with a facilitator-led exploration designed to cultivate trust and curiosity, followed by a more intuitive and open phase that builds on the sensual awareness developed in the first part. Throughout the experience, clothing is optional and personal boundaries are respected at all times. **What is Sensual Touch Lab Series for GBTQ Men\*?** Sensual Touch Lab Series for GBTQ Men\* is a monthly workshop where we aim to create a space for sensual closeness and playful encounters. Embodied, somatic experiences that appreciate our full-bodied nature. Using sensuality as an approach to explore new ways of dealing with our own fears or patterns related to nudity, intimacy, and touch. We invite you to explore, communicate, and possibly expand your personal boundaries within a framework of mutual respect and consent. This opens up the opportunity to experience the power of touch, sensation, and non-verbal interpersonal connection. Each event will be a guided process, which will have a special touch depending on the theme and background of the facilitator\*, whether it be bodywork and touch, somatics and intimacy, or something else. These short workshops may include nudity, partner exercises or close physical interactions. **Benefits** Creates meaningful connections within the GBTQ+ community through collective experiences. Combats feelings of isolation and loneliness. Promotes self-love and acceptance of one’s body and identity. Provides a safe, judgement-free space to explore personal boundaries. Contributes to overall well-being and supports the ability to build lasting relationships. Can serve as a healthy coping mechanism and reduce the risk of substance abuse. **General Information** This format is for all queer men\* / queer masculinities interested in experiencing touch in a safe(r) setting. Please pay attention to personal hygiene. Bring a sheet and towel to cover cushions, mats, or massage tables. This event will be in German and/or English depending on participant needs. This event is also available at a reduced member price – but not part of the two-free-monthly-events benefit. Concession tickets upon written request to events@wearevillage.org

Today we look at the works of an artist who over the past two decades, has built an oeuvre consisting primarily of screen prints on paper and canvas. Prior to that, the artist had worked extensively in photography, filmmaking, and set design. The screenprinting work is informed by architecture - ancient and modern structures, calligraphy, graffiti, handwriting, and the movement of the masses through big metropolises. Other techniques on paper are included in the visit - from lithography to etching, cyanotype to woodblock printing - and more! Please note, the studio visit starts promptly at 12:00. This studio is located on the top floor and has no elevator: you will have to walk four flights of stairs. Beverages will be served, poetry may be read. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR STUDIO VISITS: Get to know a handful of carefully selected artists who are enhancing, interjecting, and challenging art history through new media, new ideas, and new formats. Every artist builds their own universe, and for one exclusive afternoon, we are welcome into their sacred space of creation. The artist will tell their story and you are free to ask questions, engage in dialogue, and leave feeling inspired - and even with a beautiful new artwork to illuminate your space!

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
