Ova certifikacija temelji se na iskustvu **2.000+ provedenih radionica**, razvijena je uz **prof. Johana S. Roosa**, su-izumitelja metode, i u potpunosti poštuje originalne LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® principe. **Kome je namijenjeno?** Ovaj trening je idealan za: * facilitatore * HR stručnjake * voditelje i voditelje timova * coacheve i konzultante * pedagoge i edukatore * psihologe * sve koji rade s grupama i žele nove alate za poticanje sudjelovanja, uvida i suradnje. ## **Što ćete dobiti?** * Službenu **Foundation Facilitation** LSP certifikaciju, * vještine za vođenje vlastitih LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® radionica, * praktično iskustvo kroz intenzivan trening, * jasnu strukturu i sigurnost u korištenju metode, * pristup globalnoj LSP zajednici. ## **Zašto sudjelovati?** U svijetu gdje su timovi sve manje angažirani, a izazovi sve složeniji, LSP omogućuje: * 100% uključivanje svih sudionika * brže i kvalitetnije donošenje odluka * vidljiv napredak u komunikaciji i razumijevanju * rješavanje problema na inovativan, siguran i efikasan način ## **Prijave i informacije** Cijena: 1200€ Ostalo je još **jedno slobodno mjesto**. ✉️ **jbn@astyre.hr** 📩 Ili pošaljite poruku organizatoru preko Meetupa.

Session Abstract **Data on Fire: A Hands-On Intro to Spark in Fabric** Curious about Apache Spark but not sure where to start? This hands-on session introduces you to Spark in Microsoft Fabric Notebooks—a powerful and accessible way to process and analyze big data using familiar tools in the Microsoft ecosystem. We’ll break down key Spark concepts like distributed computing, DataFrames, and lazy evaluation, then show how they come to life inside Fabric’s notebook experience. You’ll see practical demos that cover loading, transforming, and analyzing large datasets—while leveraging Fabric’s modern data stack, including OneLake, Dataflows, and Pipelines. You’ll also learn how to choose between Spark and pure Python notebooks in Fabric, based on execution needs, data integration, and use case fit. Whether you're a SQL pro, BI developer, or data engineer, this session will give you the tools and confidence to start using Spark in your own projects—no cluster management required. \*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

$5 MOVIE NIGHT! With avatar fire and Ash, James Cameron takes audiences back to Pandora in an immersive new adventure with marine turned Navi leader Jake Sully. Navi Warrior, Naytiri and the Solly family. The film has a screenplay by James Cameron and Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. We will see the 6 PM showing and I will post my seat so that we can sit together. We can grab something to eat after if people want and chat to round out the experience. This is a MUST SEE MOVIE for me. I hope you feel the same. I will CANCEL if there are less than 5 RSVPs on the movie date.
