¿Te apetece pasar una tarde agradable jugando a juegos de mesa y conociendo gente nueva en un ambiente relajado y cercano? Este encuentro está pensado precisamente para eso: socializar, conectar y pasarlo bien, sin importar si ya conoces los juegos o si es tu primera vez en el grupo. ¿Qué tipo de juegos jugamos? Elegimos juegos accesibles, dinámicos y sociales, no solo juegos largos o complicados. Por ejemplo: Juegos rápidos y ligeros como 6 nimmt!, Love Letter o Sushi Go Juegos de interacción y risas como Codenames, Dixit o Exploding Kittens Juegos de deducción social como The Resistance, Salem o Werewolves Y, si apetece, algún juego un poco más estratégico, siempre explicado con calma No importa si es tu primera vez en el grupo: explicamos las reglas y elegimos juegos accesibles para que todo el mundo se sienta cómodo desde el principio. El juego es solo la excusa para socializar y conectar de forma natural. Un espacio seguro y diverso Solemos ser un grupo diverso, abierto y con muy buen rollo, donde se respeta a todo el mundo. Queremos crear un entorno amable, sin juicios, en el que cualquiera pueda sentirse a gusto. ️ En español (o para practicarlo) Si hablas español o te apetece practicarlo en un entorno amable y natural, estarás más que bienvenida/o. El grupo suele estar formado por personas de distintos orígenes y niveles, y la comunicación fluye de manera relajada. Si te apetece conocer gente de forma tranquila, sin presión y con los juegos como punto de encuentro, este plan es para ti. ¡Te esperamos! Nota: se solicitará a los participantes una donación de 2€ para gastos de organización y compra de juegos.

In diesem Kurs beschäftigen wir uns mit verschiedenen Texten aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen. Das können u.a. kurze Geschichten, Gedichte, Zeitungsartikel, Kolumnen oder Videos sein. Immer sind es Themen, die uns gefallen, die wir besonders interessant, wichtig oder manchmal auch richtig schlecht finden. Gemeinsam versuchen wir die Position der Autor*in, den Stil und die Argumentationsstruktur zu verstehen. Dazu diskutieren wir über das, was wir verstehen, welche Meinung wir zu dem Thema haben oder welche Fragen offen bleiben.
Gerne könnt ihr uns auch Themenvorschläge mitbringen oder zuschicken.
Der Kurs richtet sich an interessierte Menschen mit einem B2-Niveau (oder so ähnlich), die Lust haben sich weiter mit der deutschen Sprache zu beschäftigen und ihren Wortschatz zu erweitern.
Die Termine sind sporadisch.

## 🍙★BENTO ist eine japanische Lunchbox. Doch Bento ist mehr als nur eine Box für Essen. Darin spiegeln sich die japanische Sicht auf die Natur, ein Sinn für Ästhetik und die achtsame Fürsorge für Familie und andere Menschen wider. Lassen Sie uns gemeinsam die Welt des Bento entdecken und Inspiration finden, um den Alltag interessanter und reicher zu gestalten. *** ### 🌿 About This Workshop In this workshop, you will learn how to make *Omusubi* (Japanese rice balls), the heart of a traditional bento box, while exploring: * The philosophy behind Japanese bento culture * The connection between rice-based diets and the natural environment * The impact of Omusubi on gut health *** ### 🍱 What You Will Experience * Discover the story and cultural meaning of Japanese bento * Learn basic cooking techniques that support health and child development * Understand the deeper meaning of *Omusubi* * Share a meal together and enjoy a warm, communal experience *** ### 🌏 Why This Workshop Matters In a world facing environmental destruction, food crises, conflicts, and health challenges, the need for sustainable agriculture and regenerative organic practices is more urgent than ever. In Japan, one small but meaningful step toward this future is the everyday practice of enjoying sustainably grown rice. By sharing the wisdom of bento culture—something that has long nurtured people, nature, and community—we hope to spark a *BENTO movement* here in Berlin, reconnecting people with the earth through food. *** ### ✨ Who This Is For * Those interested in healthy eating and gut health * Lovers of Japanese food and culture * Anyone seeking a deeper cultural food experience * Beginners are very welcome *** ### 📍 Details Datum: ①13.06.2026 12:00\~13:30 ②04.07.2026 11:00\~12:30 ☆Either date① and ② cover the same content.

**Our June novel is: *The Eights* by Joanna Miller** **This month’s novel is set during World War I. It’s a 20th-century historical fiction story about friendship and war, with coming-of-age elements and a slightly haunted tone. The book is 384 pages in print and 10 hours and 9 minutes on audiobook.** Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its one-thousand-year history, Oxford University officially admits female students. Burning with dreams of equality, four young women move into neighboring rooms in Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto—collectively known as The Eights—come from all walks of life, each driven by their own motives, each holding tight to their secrets, and are thrown into an unlikely, unshakable friendship. Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Politically-minded Beatrice, daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way - and some friends her own age. Otto was a nurse during the war but is excited to return to her socialite lifestyle in Oxford where she hopes to find distraction from the memories that haunt her. And finally Marianne, the quiet, clever daughter of a village pastor, who has a shocking secret she must hide from everyone, even her new friends, if she is to succeed. Among the historic spires, and in the long shadow of the Great War, the four women must navigate and support one another in a turbulent world in which misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War don’t always remain dead.
