Let's meet at... One Caribbean Block Party
Another June event!
As I search for a new regular venue, we will be hopping around Berlin's black-owned venues and cool events this summer!
So...
Let's join this official Fete de la Musique event.
There will be soca music, food and live performances at the One Caribbean Block Party at Slap'D on Revelerstr
The event starts at 14.00 so I will arrive just before and find a hangout area for us. I will also post the exact spot in the comments once I am there. It is a small bar so it will be easy to find the group.
I look forward to hanging out, dancing and having fun with all of you!

**When & how?**
Saturday afternoon. Detailed time and place in our Telegram group.
Hop in, say hello, and we’ll share the final details.
**Why join?**
\*Because you deserve a break.
* Because you enjoy being creative.
\*Because you enjoy boardgames
* Because meeting new people sparks fresh energy.
\*Because coffee tastes even better when shared.
* Because Saturday afternoons were made for this.
Respect and Safety:
There is always at least one organizer present at every meetup. If you ever feel unsafe or bothered by someone’s behavior, you can reach out to an organizer privately. Your identity will remain confidential, your concern will be taken seriously, and no inappropriate behavior is tolerated — anyone making others feel uncomfortable will be removed from the group immediately.
We hope to see you there. Bring yourself, your smile, drawing materials, your stories—or just your comfy self.
Let’s make Saturday a little more laid-back, a little more social and a lot more nice.
See you soon!

Sunday in the heart of neuökolln comedy at 1977 Berlin laughter is the best medicine for a hangover, and free shots come laugh with some of the funniest comedians in the city.

Swimskating around Müggelsee and beyond
If the weather is great, swimming is a must. Depending on you, we would either go for the tour around in Müggelsee with dips in the Kleiner Müggelsee and Strandbad Müggelsee or we turn to Erkner and can go towards the direction of Kagel. There are several lakes on the way and according to Komoot, the bike path through the forres has been newly renovated. We would then pick a nice spot for a picknik break and would go back to Erkner to leave for home. Time schedules are just indications. The Müggelsee round is a relaxed 2,5 hours, the other is unknown.
Please bring your skates, protectors, sufficient water and maybe some first aid equipment with you. Of course swimming gear.

Bouldering Session
Have you always wanted to learn bouldering but never had the right company? Or are you an experienced boulderer who just wants to find boulder-buddies? If yes, this is the right event for you.
We are going to meet inside "urban apes Basement Boulderstudio", close to S Anhalter Bahnhof, also not far from Potsdamer Platz. If you have never been there, you will need to sign up with them, which will take a bit of time. After that, **you can find us on the couches near the lockers (not in front of the reception), next to a red smiley**. When you enter the actual gym, enter the hall by turning left immediately - you are walking towards them. We will start warming up around 11:10, so everyone has enough time to arrive and get changed before that.
***\*\*\**** *Spots are limited, so please update your RSVP at least 24 hours in advance if you won't be joining. **NO-SHOWs ARE NOT COOL \*\*\****
We enter the gym at 11:00, if you are late, you will need to look for us inside.
IMPORTANT: they only accept cards as a payment method. No cash. One day ticket will cost you 13,90 EUR (10,90 EUR if you are a student, free if Urban Sports Club).
**What to bring: well, first of all, a good mood.**
But you could also bring
* climbing shoes if you have any. If not, you can rent them there, no worries. They cost 3,50 EUR.
* a lock (for the locker).
* chalk. You won't need that if you are a beginner. Renting is possible.
* water.
* extra clothes. It's quite chalky there and humans sweat, not the best mix, don't you think? :D
Please, note: the organizer is not responsible for anything, including injuries. A basic introduction will be provided.

**Structure**
A. Warmup Phase: We pose to each other for 1 minute.
B. Main Phase: We pose to each other for 10 minutes.
C. Showcase Phase: We show some of the drawings we did to each other.
