Liebe Zürcher WordPress Community Wir freuen uns, euch im Juni bei Liip zu treffen. Unser Programm: **19:00 - 19:30 Erster Vortrag** **WordPress an der Hochschule – Herausforderungen einer offenen Wissensplattform- Cinzia Gabellini** Die Hochschule Luzern betreibt eine WordPress‑Plattform mit dem Anspruch, Dozierenden und Studierenden eine offene Wissensplattform bereitzustellen. Sie ermöglicht einen niedrigschwelligen Zugang zu einem eigenen digitalen Raum, um Wissen sichtbar zu machen und zu teilen. Grundlage dafür ist die Multisite‑Funktion von WordPress: Sie erlaubt individuelle Blogs, erlaubt mehrere Autor:innen und unterstützt die digitale Selbstbestimmung der Nutzer:innen. Im Unterschied zu klassischen Lernmanagement‑Systemen, die zentral gesteuert und auf geschlossene Nutzerkreise ausgerichtet sind, setzt unsere WordPress‑Plattform auf Offenheit und Eigenverantwortung. Dieser Ansatz bringt besondere Herausforderungen in der Verwaltung von Nutzenden und Blogs mit sich. In der Präsentation stelle ich das Konzept der Blog-Plattform vor und zeige, wie wir diesen Herausforderungen in der Praxis begegnen. Du erfährst dabei, * wie der User Lifecycle zweckvoll umgesetzt werden kann, * nach welchen Kriterien und wie Blogs weitergeführt oder archiviert werden, und * wie die Sichtbarkeit von Blogs je nach Nutzungskontext eingestellt werden kann. Über Cinzia Gabellini [Cinzia Gabellini](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cinzia-gabellini/) ist Spezialistin für digitale Lehre an der Hochschule Luzern. Mit ihrer Expertise in E-Learning und Erwachsenenbildung unterstützt sie Dozierende bei der Umsetzung nachhaltiger digitaler Lernszenarien sowie bei der Weiterentwicklung ihrer didaktischen Ansätze. Zudem betreut sie die «WordPress-Plattform Lehre» als Teil der Lehr- und Lerninfrastruktur. **19:30 - 20:00 Zweiter Vortrag:** **WordPress und React: Die Kombination in der Praxis - und was dabei gelernt wurde** Die Kombination aus WordPress und React mag technisch, aufwendig und für manche unmöglich klingen. Manchmal ist sie aber die eleganteste Lösung im Raum. Noemi Frischknecht, UX Designerin und Entwicklerin teilt in diesem Vortrag ihre Erfahrung mit genau dieser Kombination. Anhand echter Projektbeispiele zeigt sie, wann und warum hybride Setups entstanden sind, welche Vor- und Nachteile sie mitbringen, wo Reibung entstehen kann und weshalb die Kombination für sie als UX Designerin & Entwicklerin persönlich besonders wertvoll ist. Noemi ist nicht nur in der Entwicklung zu Hause und freut sich, diese Thematik für alle zugänglich zu machen. Der Vortrag richtet sich darum wirklich an alle, die in irgendeiner Form mit WordPress-Projekten zu tun haben. Technisches Vorwissen zu React ist nicht nötig - technisches Interesse erhofft sie sich durch den Vortrag zu wecken. Tips wohin mit diesem Interesse sind in der Teilnahme inbegriffen. Verbinde dich mit [Noemi Frischknecht](https://www.linkedin.com/in/noemi-frischknecht/) **20:00 - 21:00 Networking** Wir freuen uns auf euch! \-\-\- **Über WordPress Zürich** Das Meetup wird organsiert von: [Sandra Deppner](https://ch.linkedin.com/in/sandra-depner/en), [Jasmine Carballo](https://www.future-advice.ch/), [Nick Weisser](https://www.openstream.ch/), [Martin Sauter](https://www.metoki.ch/angebot/wordpress-support/) und [Corina Burri](https://corinaburri.com/de/wordpress-seo-beratung/).

< \* \* \* English version below \* \* \* > DE Nach einigen Treffen in der Stadt machen wir wieder einmal einen kleinen Ausflug ausserhalb von Zürich. Unser Ziel ist der [Botanische Garten Grüningen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CJaHZA7BzW2MNqDw9?g_st=ic), der auf einem Hügel oberhalb des historischen Städtchens liegt und den Charakter eines Arboretums hat. Das preisgekrönte Schauhaus, Bäume und Sträucher aus aller Welt sowie die unterschiedlichen Aussenräume bieten viele Motive zwischen Pflanzenstudie und Architektur. Und auch bei fast jedem Wetter lohnt sich der Weg: Es gibt mehrere geschützte Plätze zum Zeichnen und Unterstehen, nicht nur im Schauhaus selbst. Wir freuen uns sehr, im Garten willkommen zu sein, und danken herzlich für die Einladung. **Treffpunkt** Beim Eingang des Botanischen Gartens Grüningen. **Anreise** Mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln erreicht ihr den Garten ab Zürich, Winterthur oder Rapperswil via S-Bahn nach Wetzikon ZH und weiter mit dem Bus 867 bis Grüningen, Im Haufland. Ab Uster fährt der Bus 845 ebenfalls bis Grüningen, Im Haufland. Von dort sind es rund 20 Minuten zu Fuss bis zum Garten. Wer mit dem Auto kommt: Gratisparkplätze sind vorhanden. Mehr Informationen zu Anreise findet ihr unter: [https://www.botanischer-garten.ch/den-garten-besuchen/](https://www.botanischer-garten.ch/den-garten-besuchen/) **Eintritt** Der Eintritt ist kostenlos. Bitte bringt euer eigenes Zeichenmaterial und idealerweise einen kleinen Klapphocker mit. Keine Vorkenntnisse nötig. Wir skizzieren rund 2 Stunden, allein oder in kleinen Gruppen, ganz entspannt. Danach treffen wir uns wieder, zeigen unsere Sketches und machen ein Gruppenfoto. Als Leitfaden dienen die Werte der Urban Sketchers: https://urbansketchers.org/de/who-we-are/#mission/ #uskzurich \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- EN After several meetups in the city, it is time for another small trip outside Zurich. Our destination is the [Botanical Garden Grüningen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CJaHZA7BzW2MNqDw9?g_st=ic), set on a hill above the historic little town and shaped like an arboretum. The award-winning greenhouse, trees and shrubs from around the world, and the varied outdoor spaces offer plenty of sketching subjects somewhere between plant study and architecture. Even in less-than-perfect weather, the visit is well worth it: there are several sheltered places to draw and take cover, not only inside the greenhouse itself. We are very pleased to be welcomed to the garden and would like to warmly thank our hosts for the invitation. **Meeting point** At the entrance to the Botanical Garden Grüningen. **Getting there** By public transport, you can reach the garden from Zurich, Winterthur or Rapperswil via S-Bahn to Wetzikon ZH, then bus 867 to Grüningen, Im Haufland. From Uster, take bus 845 to Grüningen, Im Haufland. From the bus stop, it is about a 20-minute walk to the garden. If you are coming by car, free parking is available. More information can be found here: [https://www.botanischer-garten.ch/den-garten-besuchen/](https://www.botanischer-garten.ch/den-garten-besuchen/) **Entrance** The entrance is free of charge. Please bring your own drawing materials and, ideally, a small folding stool. No prior experience required. We sketch for about 2 hours, solo or in small groups, at an easy pace. Afterwards we regroup, share our sketches and take a group photo. As always, we follow the Urban Sketchers values: https://urbansketchers.org/who-we-are/#mission/ #uskzurich

*«The creative and UX industry is changing fast. Roles are shifting, tools are evolving, expectations are rising, and many people are asking what their skills will be worth in the future.»* **This evening is not a classic Last Thursday Talk.** UX Schweiz and Syndicom invite the community to **a workshop and open exchange** for people working in UX, design, research, strategy, communication and related creative fields. The focus is especially on people at the beginning of their careers, people in transition, and everyone currently asking: **What does the future of our work actually look like?** We want to create a space for hopes, concerns, changing roles, useful skills, new tools, AI, career paths and possible forms of support within the community. Uncertainty is allowed, but we do not want to stay stuck in fear. The evening starts with a short input by **[Pascal Geronimi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascal-geronimi-5112b324/).** After that, we will work in small groups: collecting thoughts, clustering topics, discussing what matters most, and sharing key insights. Together, we want to explore: * What currently gives us hope? * What feels uncertain or worrying? * How are roles, tools and expectations changing? * Which skills and mindsets might become more important? * What kind of support could UX Schweiz, Syndicom or the wider community offer? **This is an experimental format.** Because this is a workshop-style event, **places are limited**. Please only register if you are quite sure you can attend. If your plans change, please cancel your RSVP so someone else can join. **Format** * Short intro input * Small-group exchange * Shared takeaways in the plenum * Optional informal drinks afterwards nearby **A small question before you come** You do not need to prepare anything. But take a moment to think about this: ***When you think about the future of your work: what gives you hope, and what makes you unsure?*** **Practical information** • The event will be held in English. • The number of participants is limited. • Please arrive a few minutes early so we can start on time.

Great atmosphere"* *"I am really grateful for the warm atmosphere, inspiring moments"* * We encourage no/low alcohol consumption and only allow responsible behaviours. . . . . . Want **more info** than our Summary above? Then please read below: . . . . . **WHY?** we ❤️ **uniting people** and building **community** while having **fun!** We truly believe that **fun meaningful offline connections** to new & existing friends makes us truly happy and healthy! Our community meets **every 2 Fridays** in a **homey,** caring and **welcoming** "come as you are" environment ! . **WHAT is this event?** We are not a "party or drinks" meetup, nor we follow a "forced" process and agenda. Instead, we are a **Connection Community** inspired by Greek village cafes and Swiss Stammtisch — a welcoming environment where neighbours gathered as equals to share stories and build lasting friendships. We meet in a "**fixed-rhythm**" every 2 Fridays in a **homey** & **lovingly-hosted space** so you can connect with new and familiar faces. We provide **several optional activities** to help you **connect** with others—so you're free to **explore what resonates** with you! Together these activities create a unique **Connection** **Event.** . . . . **TIPS on how to connect:** * **Look out for a good smile/vibe** in a person/group of 2-3 people and say "Hi my name is xxx, can I join?". * **Try something different** (person, game, table, activity) often until you find **fun** **quality connection.** We have a lot of activities * **Ask** **Support:** we understand going out to meet friends can be a stretch. We make this easy with a fun and safe event. Also you can ask for help from our clearly communicated (see photos of this event) "**People Connectors**" who can help you discreetly to connect with others * **Invest time**(not quickly just come by) as friendships are an investment * **Come back**: big turnaround, people come randomly at each event, so you never know who you ll meet . . **.** **Some final words:** * **Bravo** **to you** for the courage to go out to meet new people! We know **everyone is unique** \- thats why we got a big new\-comer area\, 4 co\-hosts welcoming and connecting you\, and many activities for you to **choose** from to find what **suits you**! * **Weather?** Event takes place rain or shine, with indoors rooms and outdoors area that is ultra rain-protected * **Coming late?** no problem, we got many people until closing at 00:00 so come whenever! * **Too many attendees?** no problem, we got the space! Also as per the "what" above: you define what makes the event meaningful for you! Furthermore, the co-organisers have one goal: to say hi and introduce you to the event and people (if you want to please ask)! Finally remember: you dont have to talk to everyone, focus in a few people! Less is more! If you dont know where to start look for a good smile or an activity more matching to you. From there keep on trying people and activities.. * **Why so many options above for connection?** We always have: a first-timer area, Fun social games, Mindful games, ice-breaker questions or simply just talk freely to anyone. Often we add: Speed-friending and a Music jam. We believe **you are unique** and each of us prefers different ways of connection. Also we want to provide an opportunity for everyone to try something new * **Easy and Safe:** We have the whole location reserved for us so its safe to open up and meet new friends (unlike bars in Zürich where people find it strange if strangers talk to them). Christos and volunteers will also help with connection. Read more info below. * **Christos** (see [PHOTO](https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdtVaVGCyDEJ28uE8)) and our co-organisers will be wearing name budges and will aim to **welcome** **everyone.** * more info via our **[LINKS](http://linktr.ee/connectionspace)** * Yes YOU are **good** & **courageous** for looking for new fun connections! * Everyone is in same situation and you ll be surprised how **friendly people** are ❤️ * Come **early** though **later** also ok as many people there **until 00:00** * **It works**! We heard of many new friendships, living together and even getting a new job * **Mindful Connection Games:** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) available: Confessions Game, The Friendship Game, Connection Game, The Loser Game, Games for grown-ups and three sets of "100 questions" (Conversation Toolkit & Careers & Relationships) * **Fun Social Games:** bring your own **board/card games** or choose from: Cards against humanity, Exploding Kittens, Codenames, Debatable, Sotally Tober, Taboo, Mafia, Uno, Monopoly and more. . . . . ``` Disclaimer & participation terms (Connection Space): By registering for and/or attending this event (“Event”), you agree: Registration required.
