There's no entrance fee, but please order at least one item from the cafe and don't bring any outside drinks :) No quizzes, no pressure, no assigned books - just a group of book-loving souls basking in the beauty of silent reading. **Our thrilling agenda:** 10:30 am - 11:00 am - Arrivals, ordering drinks/food (social time) 11:00 am - 12:00 pm - The Great Quiet Reading Hour (where silence is the star) 12:00 pm - 13:00 pm - Optional socializing, share your reading adventures or just keep exploring the pages Stay for lunch, and who knows? You might just find your next favorite book over a pizza. NB: If you plan to go for lunch, please consider bringing cash, as some restaurants only accept card payments after a certain amount.

Ciao a tutti! For our event we would like to meet you at 17:00 and have a beer all together, or other drinks. The goal of our first meeting is to get to know eachother and practice Italian and German. Please don’t be afraid that your language skills might not be sufficiently good or that you are a beginner. We understand that learning languages is a difficult and long journey. We don’t tolerate discrimination. We don't tolerate any aggressive or weird attitude. This has to be a Place of Comfort zone for everyone :) Please be respectful and kind with the others! PS: you can find us on the pool table area usually, if not just ask to the bar area for the reservation on the name "Claudio" A presto, bis bald Claudio Ich hoffe dass wir bald uns sehen!

Ever thought your monthly apartment rent was too high? Well, multiply that – that’s what commercial spaces in big cities like Berlin cost *per hour*. Of course, if all you want is just some quiet time, your home or a library is perfect. But if you’d like to focus & connect with others in an inspiring space – with drinks, snacks included – that’s what your ticket helps to cover.

**For registration for this class see: [https://www.kang-center.de/taekwondo-berlin/#taekwondo-kurse-berlin](https://www.kang-center.de/taekwondo-berlin/#taekwondo-kurse-berlin)** We are an international group (speaking English, German and Korean), enthusiastic and ambitious learning the art of traditional Taekwon-Do, meaning full perfection and power but no contact. Our grandmaster Kang, Shin-Gyu is a student of famous grandmaster Kwon, Jae-Hwa, so that we can learn from the originals. Sounds sophisticated? It is - and also a lot of fun! Most of us are between 20 an 30 years old, half of them male and half female. But we welcome anybody any age! As a beginner you need nothing more than some comfortable sportswear. See you in Class!

Curious what we do? Check our [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/filmmakersandmovienerds/) ♥️ Would you like to meet some like-minded filmmakers? Start a project? Or do you need help with a movie you are currently working on? Are you new in the city and you'd like to meet people tinkering with movies? **Then you should join us!** We meet every Sunday. It’s important to us that we get to know each other in person. To create a community of connected people, work, learn and grow together. For film making you need a crew of reliable people with a positive can-do-attitude. This is the place to find them. Together, we will talk about these topics: * What you are currently working on * What you need help with * What would you like to help with * What you you would like to learn This is event is great for: * filmmakers * movie nerds * writers * camera operators * editors * actors * sound recorders * composers * gaffers * producers We are limiting the amount of people, so we can have a structured introduction and discussion. After that we get together loosely with some drinks and chats. And then we mostly go for dinner with a couple of us. **Important information**: *To sustain and grow this amazing community, we started a member contribution that is due every month. The money we collect is used solely for the purpose of the community. Of course you can come once or twice without contributing to check us out!*

**Come together. Read. Talk about it.** Vielleicht liest du viel und vermisst Gespräche darüber. Vielleicht hast du Lust, neue Menschen kennenzulernen – in einem entspannten, ungezwungenen Rahmen. Lesen verbindet, und genau dafür ist dieser Club gedacht. Dieser *Social Reading Club* ist für Menschen, die gerne lesen und sich genau das wünschen: mehr Zeit dafür – und Raum für Austausch mit anderen, die das genauso fühlen. Wir treffen uns in einem Café am **Platz der Luftbrücke in Kreuzberg**. Nicht als klassischer Buchclub mit Vorgaben oder Pflichtlektüre, sondern als gemeinsames Innehalten: jede\*r liest für sich, egal ob Zeitung, dicker Roman oder Sachbuch. Im eigenen Tempo. Am Ende gibt es Raum für Austausch. Dein Handy kannst du dabei weglegen – ich behalte die Zeit für dich im Blick. **So sieht ein Treffen aus:** → Wir kommen entspannt an, bestellen etwas und richten uns in Ruhe ein. → Der Vormittag besteht aus **einer Leseeinheit**. Wir lesen in Stille – nebeneinander, konzentriert, jede\*r für sich. → Zum Abschluss gibt es ein lockeres Kennenlernen und Austauschen – über das (Buch), was wir gerade lesen, und das, was es bei uns auslöst: Gedanken, Eindrücke, Stellen, die hängen geblieben sind. **ℹ️ Wir sind in dem Café normale Gäste.** Also plane bitte ein, dort etwas zu bestellen. Die Teilnahme selbst ist kostenlos und erfordert keine Vorbereitung. Alles, was du tun musst, ist, etwas zum Lesen mitzubringen. **Kleiner Hinweis:** Das Treffen findet auf Deutsch statt. 🇩🇪 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . **🗓️ Agenda** **11:00 – 11:15 Uhr** Ankommen, Einrichten & etwas bestellen **11:15 – 12:30 Uhr** Stille Leseeinheit (konzentriertes Lesen, jede\*r für sich – gerne Kopfhörer mitbringen, falls es im Café etwas voller wird) **12:30 – 13:30 Uhr** Austausch, Kennenlernen & Ausklang

Weitere Informationen zur Mitgliedschaft auf: https://textcollective.de **Schreib Dein Buch - lieber mit uns!** Dieser Workshop richtet sich an alle, die in diesem Jahr ihr Buch angehen, fertigstellen oder den Weg zur Veröffentlichung beschreiten wollen. Egal ob du gerade erst mit der Outline beginnst oder schon mitten im Schreibprozess steckst – hier bekommst du die Struktur, das Feedback und die praktischen Informationen, die du brauchst, um dein Projekt voranzubringen. Wir arbeiten gemeinsam an deinem konkreten Projekt: Outline entwickeln, Plot-Probleme lösen, Veröffentlichungsstrategien besprechen. In der Gruppe tauschen wir uns über Herausforderungen aus und entwickeln realistische Ziele für dein Buchprojekt. Dieser Workshop gibt dir den Rahmen, die Verbindlichkeit und den Austausch mit anderen, die dasselbe Ziel haben. Hier triffst du auf Menschen, die verstehen, was es bedeutet, ein Buchprojekt anzugehen – mit all seinen Höhen und Tiefen. Teilnehmerzahl begrenzt. Bring gerne deine Outline, Notizen oder dein Work-in-Progress mit. **Über Text Collective Berlin:** Wir sind eine kreative Schreibcommunity, die regelmäßige Workshops und Lesungen organisiert. 2025 erschien unsere Anthologie "Begegnung zwischen Welten" – wir wissen, wie der Weg von der ersten Idee bis zur gedruckten Veröffentlichung aussieht.
