Buenas! (English below) Cada día aparecen formas nuevas de aprender español, (y otros idiomas) apps nuevas, métodos de gramática, IA, videos de profes explicando cosas, y están todas genial. Si te ayudan a entender más y a hablar mejor están genial. El plan de este grupo es mejorar tu español con juegos, actividades reales y ejercicios para hablar más. Con la excusa de los juegos y las actividades corregimos la mayoría de errores: Palabras difíciles, confundir pasados, preposiciones, verbos que significan muchas cosas, ser y estar en pasado, frases con dos verbos o mas, subjuntivo, expresiones coloquiales, y también los errores "culturales”: ¿De que forma usamos los españoles el idioma en diferentes situaciones? La gente que participa es (casi siempre) muy simpática, y normalmente deja reviews muy positivas de las clases. Si te cuadra el plan ven a practicar tu español y hablamos de comida, de viajes, de trabajo, de cultura, de Internet, de temas locales, de noticias y de muchas más cosas. Para participar hay una contribución de solo 10€ por persona/ clase de 2 horas (materiales incluidos, bebidas no incluidas) o de 30€ por 4 clases. Vente y hablamos. Rafa. \-\-\-\- Hi! Every day there are new ways to learn Spanish, (or any language) new apps, grammar methods, AI, teachers explaining things on videos, and they are all great. If they help you to understand more and to speak better, they are great. The main plan in this group is to improve your Spanish with games, real activities and exercises to speak more. All the games and activities are a good excuse to correct the most difficult/ frequent mistakes: Difficult words, confusing past tenses, prepositions, verbs that mean many things, ser and estar in the past, sentences with two or more verbs, subjuntive, colloquial expressions, and also “cultural" mistakes: How we, Spanish people, use the language in different situations? People participating are (almost always) very nice, and usually leave very positive reviews of the classes. If the plan fits you, come to practice your Spanish and we'll talk about food, travel, work, culture, Internet, local issues, business, news and many more things. There is a contribution to participate of only €10 per person/2-hour class (materials included, drinks not included) or €30 for 4 classes. Let´s talk. Rafa.

**The Monthly Fresk Jam** The Fresk Jam is a spin-off of our classic ***Culture Jam***. It is a monthly get together where different workshops around sustainability and climate change are held simultaneously. These events by ***[Apocapoc BCN](https://www.apocapocbcn.com/?public&)***[ ](https://www.apocapocbcn.com/?public&) are hosted in our **Nest City Lab**. We strongly believe that to be efficient and healthy at dealing with the current environmental and social crisis, we need to equip ourselves with tools and knowledge that help us to be empowered and to cultivate our "active hope". The ***Culture Jam*** series aims to do just that. To attend to the workshops, please: 1\. RSVP to this meetup\. 2\. Register for the specific workshop you want to attend by clicking on the link under its description\.

We have prepared another evening of BI and Data Analytics at [Trainline](https://www.thetrainline.com/), open to everyone. 🚨 **To attend, RSVP at** [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/techfems-techtalks-unlocking-the-power-of-data-tickets-1982880387617](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/techfems-techtalks-unlocking-the-power-of-data-tickets-1982880387617). **This meetup does not accept RSVPs as we track attendance via Eventbrite** this time 🚨 **Agenda** 6:00 PM - Door opens and welcome 👋 6:30 PM - Talks Start 8:00 PM - Socializing & Networking with refreshments and snacks ⚠️ Make sure to **arrive before 6:30 PM**. No one can enter the building after that ⚠️ **🗣️Talks** 1️⃣ **From Chaos to Clarity: Building Your BI Platform** 🎙️ **[Viktoriia Kniazeva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/viktoriia-kniazeva-106403161/)**, Technical Consultant at [Omnevo](https://www.linkedin.com/company/omnevo/) Many organizations accumulate multiple operational systems, each with its own data model, stack, and integration challenges — and BI often becomes an afterthought stitched on top. This session demonstrates how to design and implement a BI platform from scratch, unifying heterogeneous data sources into a reliable, scalable architecture. Based on hands-on experience with systems like Metabase, we examine patterns for creating clean data flows, ensuring trust, and building a foundation that analytics can grow on. Takeaways: • BI as Part of System Architecture: Why analytics needs to be architected—not improvised. • Data Flow Design: Structuring the path from operational systems to actionable insights. • What to prepare before starting a BI project — the key checks teams often forget 2️⃣ **Dashboards, Data, and “Did It Work?” at Grafana** 🎙️ **[Maria Dubinets](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-dubinets/)**, Senior Data Analyst at [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com). Grafana builds industry-leading tools for observing infrastructure — but how does an observability company observe its own products? This talk explores how Product Data Analytics and Experimentation are structured at Grafana, from high-volume event ingestion to statistically rigorous A/B testing. It will unpack how Grafana’s modern data stack — powered by RudderStack, BigQuery, dbt, Prefect, OpenMetadata, and Grafana itself — creates a scalable, governed, and trustworthy source of product truth. The session will then dive into one of Grafana’s most intricate live product experiments that just finished: testing whether automatically surfacing our Interactive Learning Plugin inside Grafana Cloud increases adoption of Synthetic Monitoring and IRM by moving users from Activation to Engagement. Attendees will see how the experiment was designed, sized, instrumented, and analyzed — and what was learned once the results came in. The talk concludes with a preview of the next onboarding experiment focused on improving Day 2–14 engagement for new Cloud users. What Attendees Will Learn • 🏗️ How Grafana structures its product data stack • 📊 How dashboards evolve into decision systems • 🧪 How product experiments are designed for rigor • 🚀 Case Study: The Interactive Learning Plugin Experiment **Event language:** * English (many attendees also speak Spanish and other languages). **Who can join?** * 👭 This event is open to everyone. * Whether you’re a student, job seeker, or tech professional, you’re welcome here! **Address** Trainline: Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes\, 613\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/2u1b8fqHjgFw7kJz9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/2u1b8fqHjgFw7kJz9) **Venue Information:** * Wheelchair accessible. * NOT suitable for children. * If you prefer not to be photographed or recorded, let our media team know. **More about TechFems:** * Discover more on our [Website](https://techfems.org) and join [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/techfems). * Please read our [Code of Conduct](https://techfems.org/codeofconduct/). **PLEASE NOTE** By registering, you agree to the TechFems [Privacy Policy](https://techfems.org/privacy-policy/) and [Code of Conduct](https://techfems.org/codeofconduct/).

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

While some are still meeting online, this is an in person event. Please note that we have attendees of all levels of speaking, including some native speakers. All are welcome! Also, as we meet at the same time and place each week, many don’t RSVP on the app, so we will likely have more attendees than noted here.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control?
