A welfare state takes responsibility for its people and supports them when in need. When costs are rising, but budgets aren’t, government needs to find efficiency gains to maintain social protection levels. A government-commissioned report recently recommended ways to modernise social and welfare services, making them more people-friendly and less bureaucratic. Meanwhile, small and large projects are underway to make benefits services more fair and easier to navigate, and to make the state overall more equitable. At our March meetup, we will hear about what a modern, digitally transformed welfare state looks like. We will welcome the following speakers: * Florian Theissing, Agora Digitale Transformation * Björn Mohr, Technologiestiftung Berlin * Anja Mayr & Jakob Häußermann, DigitalService des Bundes CityLAB Berlin hosts the event in their stunning 1920s space, a former airport building. All presentations will be given in English. Questions in the later discussion part can be raised either in English or German. Pictures and videos will be taken. ––– Das CityLAB Berlin ist Gastgeber der Veranstaltung und lädt zu seinen beeindruckenden Räumlichkeiten im früheren Abfertigungsterminal des Flughafens Tempelhof ein. Alle Vorträge werden in englischer Sprache gehalten. Fragen im anschließenden Diskussionsteil können sowohl auf Englisch als auch auf Deutsch gestellt werden. Es werden Video- und Fotoaufnahmen gemacht.

Curious about starting life drawing? Or want to deepen your practice? Join us at Kunstraum Heartspace, where we enjoy a wonderful life drawing session every Wednesday evening! Our teacher Thorsten has many years of experience and will gently guide you to your next level. This course is designed for beginners as well as experienced life drawing artists. Our models change weekly. They allow us to practice short and long poses. This allows your eye to train in recognising movement and form, while also giving you enough time to study the model more closely. In addition, every week, we include a short excursion into different aspects of figurative drawing – be it anatomical issues, lighting, or the structure of the human figure. You can join and pause at any time, as you will receive individual guidance. **Materials:** * Please bring pencils, sharpeners, and erasers! * We provide paper, but of course, you can bring your own sketch book or preferred paper types. **Tickets:** * Please book your ticket on Ticket Tailor.

The wooded peninsula invites you to hike along the shores of Zeuthener See and Krossinsee lakes. Various picnic areas invite you to rest and let your gaze wonder across the water. There are also places to swim. We meet in Alt-Schmöckwitz at the terminus of tram line 68. From there, we cross the bridge over the Dahme River and immediately reach Schmöckwitzer Werder. From here, the trail leads us south between the edge of the forest and the shore of Lake Zeuthen to the Rauchfangswerder settlement at the tip of Schmöckwitzer Werder. We will circle the tip of the peninsula, where there is also an opportunity to take a picnic break. Please bring your own food and drink as there is no opportunity to purchase anything during the hike. At the shore of Lake Krossin, we will head north again and back to Alt-Schmöckwitz where our tour ends. Here, those who wish, can conclude the tour at on of the various cafés and restaurants available. 🔵 **Outdoor – Wanderung rund um den Schmöckwitzer Werder** mit ***Harms*** und ***Thomas*** **Treffpunkt:** 11:00 Uhr an der Haltestelle „Alt-Schmöckwitz“ der Tramlinie 68.

Auch Baderstellen sind vorhanden. Wir treffen uns in Alt-Schmöckwitz an der Endstation der Straßenbahnlinie 68. Von dort überqueren wir die Brücke über die Dahme und erreichen schon gleich den Schmöckwitzer Werder. Von hier führt uns der Weg zwischen dem Waldrand und dem Ufer des Zeuthener Sees nach Süden bis zu Siedlung Rauchfangswerder an der Spitze des Schmöckwitzer Werder. Wir umrunden die Spitze der Halbinsel, wo auch eine Möglichkeit für eine Rast besteht. Am Ufer des Krossinsees geht es wieder in Richtung Norden und zurück nach Alt-Schmöckwitz.

**Summary** Celebrate America's 250th year and the [Columbus Clippers'](https://www.milb.com/columbus) 50th season by watching [Franklin County's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus_Clippers) best team play the [best game in the world](https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/babe_ruth_140116) at [one of the ten best](https://www.dispatch.com/story/sports/minors/2025/03/26/huntington-park-voted-top-10-minor-league-ballparks-usa-today-10best-awards/82656048007/) baseball stadiums in the United States in their 2026 home Saturday opener! The first pitch is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. The gates always open an hour before the scheduled first pitch. I'm usually at the ballpark a half an hour before the scheduled first pitch. Clippers' games usually last around two and a half hours. Being a few minutes early will help us secure good seats. **Parking** I personally always like to park in the [McConnell Garage](https://www.google.com/maps/place/McConnell+Garage/@39.9685114,-83.0103938,17z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388f24145462d1:0x6238c0f0c851ab70!8m2!3d39.9692957!4d-83.0081175!16s%2Fg%2F1jkw6y27y?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTExNi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). If nothing else is going on in the area, this should be $7. However, I've also seen it be as high as $22. I can't say for certain what it will be for this game, but once I know, I will post in the comments. Alternately, there are other lots in the area you can try which will probably be a few dollars cheaper. [Here is a map](https://img.mlbstatic.com/milb-images/image/upload/q_auto/milb/ernng44ya2xkr4wbheql) of all the garages and lots surrounding the stadium. Keep in mind that many of these are outdoor lots and your car will be out in the elements. If you decide to look for a different lot, I would mildly recommend either the Buggyworks Lot or the Broadbelt Lot, but I have never parked in either of these myself. Although it won't apply for this game, keep in mind that street parking is also free citywide in Columbus on [Sundays and holidays](https://www.columbus.gov/files/sharedassets/city/v/1/public-service/right-of-way-permit/on-street-parking-out-of-service-policy-and-procedure-final-8.15.2022-signed.pdf). **Where We'll Be** Here is a [map of the ballpark](https://img.mlbstatic.com/milb-images/image/upload/milb/qkqohbqjgtx5uwo6zkgn.pdf). We'll be sitting on Level 3 of the [Left Field Building](https://www.milb.com/columbus/ballpark/huntington-park) (aka the "AEP Power Pavilion"), which features a 110 foot bar with six open patios overlooking the field. This area is covered and will be out of any sun or rain that may transpire. If you enter the park through the Center Field Entrance (which is at the intersection of Nationwide Blvd. and Neil Ave.), there will be a door to your immediate right after you enter that leads to a staircase up into the Tower. This door is not well-marked, and if you've never been to Huntington Park before, you may wonder if you're actually allowed to go in and up the stairs. Yes, you are. We'll be on the Tower's "Level 3". I have uploaded to the Photos section of this event page, below, a picture of the sign you want look for after you ascend the stairs, so you'll know you're on the correct floor. **Tickets** Do not buy your tickets ahead of time. They will literally be twice as expensive if you buy them on Ticketmaster. Instead, go to the ticket window near the Center Field Entrance. Buy a *Standing Room Only* ticket (don't worry, you won't be standing), which will cost you a flat $8 with no other taxes or fees. These tickets never sell out, and this is the cheapest way to get into the park. **Carry-Ins** Per the team's [website](https://www.milb.com/columbus/ballpark/a-z-guide): "Soft-sided coolers are permitted in the general seating area [which is where we'll be], but not hard-sided coolers; also no alcohol, glass bottles, or cans will be permitted. SMALL bags or backpacks of food items and beverages in plastic bottles are ok. Reusable water bottles are permitted, but must be empty upon arrival. Diaper bags are allowed." I always bring a disposable plastic bottle of water and refill it as I need at the park. Bottled water at the game is something like 4 or 5 dollars. So if you want a bottle of water, I recommend bringing your own bottle instead of buying it at the park. **Food & Drink** The area we'll be in has burgers, hot dogs, salads, soft pretzels, ice cream, and other sorts of things you would expect at a baseball game. I've posted pics of the menu in the Photos section, below. The burger and fries are $14 plus tax, and they're not bad. (This is what I usually get.) The beer is *really* overpriced. It's like $9, or $20 for a pitcher. If there's some people to help me drink it, though, I'll buy a pitcher of Michelob Ultra. While we'll be on the penultimate floor of the Tower, the top floor (which has a great view, but is fully exposed to the elements) has a [Dirty Frank's](https://dirtyfranks.com/) hot dog stand. I've never gotten anything from there, though I've been told it's good. The Donatos pizza stand is also a very short walk away from where we'll be. I love Donatos, but the pizza is so expensive at the ballpark. It's like $9 for a personal-sized pepperoni. It is good, though. **Peroration** Let's (watch them) play ball!
