We are closing the year with a X-mas-themed Meetup. This time, we have not invited an external speaker. Instead, we are hosting a different format with the second **AlmereTech Meetup Quiz**. Join us at the WonderBit Café, which will be fully decorated for the occasion, and get creative by **coming up with a fun Christmas item of your own**. During this special edition, we will host a Tech Quiz led by [Randall van Poelvoorde](https://www.linkedin.com/in/randall-van-poelvoorde). Your technical knowledge and problem-solving skills will be put to the test as we compete in teams for the honor of winning the AlmereTech Meetup Quiz. By joining forces, we will aim for the top spot. **Feel free to wear something festive or bring a Christmas accessory**. How you show your holiday spirit is entirely up to you. Let’s end the year in style. Almere Tech is the meetup for the greater Almere area, welcoming startups, entrepreneurs, developers and anyone interested in discussing new technology. Everyone is invited to join for a drink and, hopefully, inspiring conversations. The program is as follows: * **17:30** Doors open, welcome drinks * **18:00** Welcome by [Stijn Sprenkels](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stijnsprenkels/), snacks served * **18:15** Start of the AlmereTech Quiz * **19:00** Congratulating the winning team and supporting the others * **19:15** Enjoy good conversations and drinks * **20:00** End Hope to see you all again soon!

Een avond in een ontspannen sfeer voor alle leeftijden. Geniet van een drankje van ons en ontmoet nieuwe mensen. Je kunt alleen komen of samen met een vriend(in). Tijdens de avond maak je makkelijk contact met anderen die ook op zoek zijn naar betekenis. Meld je aan en kom bloeien! Het is verleidelijk onzekerheden en negatieve gevoelens te zien als persoonlijk falen. Je eerste reactie is wellicht de boel te negeren of ertegen te gaan vechten. Maar wat gebeurt er als je eerlijk je kwetsbaarheid deelt? Meer weten of hiervoor aanmelden? Bezoek de onderstaande link: https://www.dekwekerij.org/evenementen/bloeiklas/utrecht-ongemakkelijk/

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at Factor-ij Amsterdam on Thursday mornings. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 11: 15 AM - Quick introductions 11: 30 AM - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 12: 30 PM - The End: chat, take off, or keep writing OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 12:30 pm after the writing is wrapped. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at Factor-ij! What Should I Bring? Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Please come with your devices pre-charged, since we probably won't be always sitting somewhere with charging possibilities. Other Important Details: Travel by public transportation: 1. Take Tram 26 from the central station Amsterdam, and step out by the last stop. 2. Take bus 66 from the Amsterdam Bijlmer station, step out by Pieter Oosterhuisstraat, and further walk in the direction of the bus till the corner. FREE Wifi.

This is a laidback group with hopes of helping many socialize and make connections.

Join us for an open, grounded conversation inspired by Tara Brach’s work on Radical Acceptance — the practice of meeting our thoughts, emotions, and life circumstances with clarity and compassion instead of self-criticism or resistance. You don’t need any background in meditation or psychology to join. We’ll explore accessible ideas such as: * The “trance of unworthiness” — the quiet belief that something is wrong with us * How resistance and self-judgment amplify stress * What acceptance actually means (and why it is not passivity) * The RAIN method: a simple, practical way to work with difficult emotions * How compassion creates real emotional freedom This is a relaxed, supportive space where you choose your level of participation. Sharing is optional; listening is welcome. The focus is on understanding ourselves better, building emotional resilience, and having an honest conversation about being human. Who’s this for? Anyone interested in mindfulness, emotional growth, or easing self-judgment. First-timers welcome. What to bring: Optional journal or notes, comfortable clothing, and an open mind. Tone: Warm, steady, non-judgmental. This is not therapy and not a meditation class — just thoughtful dialogue and practical insights.

Join us for a fun session of improv theatre in English! A great opportunity to meet new people in Utrecht and learn something new with Improv Utrecht. Everyone can partcipate, you don't need any experience in theatre nor fluency in English. **Special topic: Movement & Theatre improv** Movement improvisation is a wonderful basis for all other forms of improvisation. Well before we had language we had movement; there is so much that can be expressed without words. Instead of the games that are used in theater improv, we work mostly with “scores”, or a kind of blueprint to what will happen in a space of time. A kind of a structure. We will do exercises that originate from Viewpoints, physical theater, and other forms of improvisation (including a bit of Contact Improv at times), and moving in/with/through the space, non verbal contact and how we can communicate through our bodies. Anyone can participate, you don’t need any experience in movement or theater nor complete fluency in English. This workshop is without shoes: bring non-slippery socks In this session you will: * Meet fellow international and local players. * Learn the basics of improvisation, a 21st-century skill that is useful in many aspects of life. * Get out of your head. * Enjoy failing. * Play funny and moving theatre games. * Laugh a lot, while surprising yourself and others. Doors open: 19:50-20:00, come in with the others ([SIDE entrance, at the Troelstralaan](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ntLDUqbkDxMHjp7B7)). After 20:01 the door may be closed, but you may find a participant who knows the door code. Workshop: 20:00-22:00 Every Friday except in school holidays Afterwards we have drinks at [O'Leary's](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gL878K1MZf8v5fpm7) pub together ### How to sign up Full details about how to sign up and any other questions you may have can be [found on our website](https://www.improvutrecht.nl/drop-in-workshops/).
