Zum Trainingsstart umgezogen in der Halle, Umkleiden sind vorhanden. * Selbstständiges Aufwärmen * Meistens ein Torwartspiel * Einwerfen (Hin und her passen) * Torwarte einwerfen * Handballspezifische Übungen * Match (falls genug Leute da sind) Training basiert auf dem Plan des Trainers und den anwesenden Personen, kann also ein bisschen abweichen. Da die Mannschaft nach einigen Abgängen momentan etwas kleiner ist, klappt ein Match am Ende nicht immer. Die Einstiegsschwierigkeit ist beim Handball etwas hoch, aber es ist eine sehr belohnende Aktivität. Am besten einfach mal vorbeikommen, ich erkläre und helfe gern bei allen Fragen, im und vor dem Training :) Auch von Vorteil, wenn ihr mich vor dem Vorbeikommen kontaktiert, dann würde ich euch z.B. vor der Halle abholen.

Weekly screenings from a large archive of many of the most significant, yet seldom seen and rarely accessible cinematic masterpieces in the history of film - from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Screenings are in original language, if English, or original language with English subtitles. Films are selected democratically on the inspiration of a brief pre-screening discussion. The selected title is typically a "neglected gem" that most of us discover together for the first time. Individual taste is not a criterion and all participants are expected to put the interests of the group as a whole above personal preference or prejudice. In this sense, the emphasis is on openness, exploration, and surprise. Each screening is followed by an in-depth group discussion, led and mediated by the curator. WARNNG: FilmStory is not just about watching movies! Rather, it's a socially responsible, intellectual engagement, involving an organic approach to group study of film language, philosophy, art, history, politics, and technology. In this sense, the film is always merely the current highlight in an explorative, ongoing group discussion. **FilmStory** is a members-only series that involves a closely knit community of cinephiles. Events take place every Sunday in a comfortable, private setting with limited capacity. Participation is reserved primarily for regular members, but we're always ready to make new friends! Non-regular members may request to meet the community and, upon acceptance as a "new joiner," are welcome to participate in one event, according to space availability. New joiners are asked to make a €6 member dues contribution in advance of the requested date. New members receive a message of confirmation and the address of the Living Room in 1080 Vienna upon receipt of their dues contribution. **FilmStory** is presented and hosted by **[KulturSalon Wien](https://www.meetup.com/kultursalon-wien/)**.

After each focus session, if you’re still in the flow, feel free to remain seated — no need to move. If you're up for a chat, we can move to a social area for a relaxed break * **Pomodoro-style rhythm**: We work in 45' focus blocks followed by 15' social breaks.

Welcome to the Vienna Film Forum, a monthly discussion group dedicated to the love of cinema! Think of us as cinema’s answer to your local book club. Each month, we pick a recent or upcoming movie release and meet up to share our thoughts on it. You watch the film on your own time and then meet up with us to discuss it, so make sure to plan in advance to see the film before you come to the Meetup! We are an international group and are devoted to including expats and discussing films each month in English, though you need not necessarily have seen the film in English. For this month, we will be discussing the new Brendan Fraser film, Rental Family. This poignant dramedy, set in Japan, follows a man who runs an unusual business renting himself out to play roles in other people’s lives — as a father, husband, or family member — for those who need someone to fill an emotional void. The film will release on January 8th in Austria but looks to have a limited run before that. Do some research to make sure you can find a screening and see it in time. Join us for a drink and a lively debate as we unpack the film!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Catherine is a Product Manager with over 10 years experience of planning and shaping internal tooling for SMEs & enterprises. About her talk: "**How to measure Developer Efficiency at GitHub**" - With AI promising increases in efficiency and changing day to day operations, we needed to ask ourselves if the old way of measuring efficiency is still accurate.

Hi Running fellows, Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us! Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast. Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too. What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :) We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast! Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45. We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier. Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup. Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz

When the longshanks of Isger start to gather troops, the goblins of the Chitterwood Forest get nervous, especially when one side of those troops are mostly composed of Hellknights. Throughout the forest, there have been reports of undead attacks on goblin tribes, prompting some of the larger tribal leaders to gather together to discuss their next actions as a whole. As an ally of the Chitterwood goblins, the Crookedtoes tribe has requested that the Pathfinder Society offer some protection during the discussions, making sure that the only fires and explosions that occur are from goblin hands! Written by Genevieve Olejnik Expected release date: January 7th, 2026 **Scenario tags:** Metaplot (Battle's Spark), Repeatable

A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st- through 2nd-level characters, playable in 2-3 hours. From their newly founded lodge in the Sloughscar Hills, the Starfinder Society studies the Wreck of the Returned, a massive crashed starship the Starfinders believe was dispatched by the long-lost First Ones. Recent excavations into other First Ones sites uncovered powerful weapons, dangerous technology, and volatile magic—incredibly valuable discoveries capable of causing immense harm should they fall into irresponsible hands. While the Starfinder Society would love to enter the Wreck of the Returned directly, the Wreck’s automated defenses and networked robotic servitors make such an expedition incredibly dangerous. Fortunately, the Starfinders have discovered a nearby site of interest: a sizable piece of wreckage which detached during the crash and landed off-site. Eager for answers, the Starfinders dispatch a team to the crash site to investigate. Unfortunately, Hellknights from the Order of the Eclipse are already inside the wreckage, and their mandate to control, suppress, or destroy dangerous information and technology means they have no intention of sharing anything they uncover. It’s up to the Starfinders to explore the wreckage and gather information, before the Hellknights systematically seize, censor, and destroy everything in their path. This is an adventure in the ongoing Invasion's Edge metaplot. Written by Shan Wolf.
