Can crime be predicted by algorithms? And if so, should we use them to prevent crimes from happening? This question has fueled many dystopian works of fiction, such as **Minority Report**, which imagines a technology capable of predicting crimes in precise detail and raises fundamental questions about free will and individual responsibility. **Person of Interest** explores a more realistic scenario, where machine learning and mass surveillance are used to identify high-risk individuals through the monitoring of communications. Many episodes of **Black Mirror** similarly examine the consequences of predictive technologies and their impact on privacy, liberty, and social control. A common theme emerges from these stories: such technologies are often portrayed not as tools of public safety, but as threats to freedom and democracy. Yet the idea is not purely fictional. While no system today can predict crimes with the certainty depicted in science fiction, predictive algorithms are already being used in various aspects of law enforcement and criminal justice. **COMPAS**, for example, has been used in American courts to estimate the likelihood that a defendant will reoffend. **Geolitica**, formerly known as **PredPol**, uses historical crime data to forecast crime hotspots and guide police deployment. More broadly, advances in artificial intelligence, big data, and digital surveillance continue to expand our ability to identify patterns in human behavior. Some even point to the Chinese **Social Credit System** as an example of how large-scale data collection can be used to monitor and influence citizens. Now that the technological capabilities have already been laid out, should we, as a society, pursue the endeavor of developing a predictive algorithm that would allow us to prevent crime? Or is there a moral imperative that prevents us from doing so? Join us as we debate whether predictive crime technology represents the future of public safety or the first step toward a surveillance dystopia. This debate will follow a British Parliamentary format with eight debaters split into **four teams of two.** Participants who wish to speak are highly encouraged to bring a paper and pen. You are welcome to participate even if you have no prior debating experience. We aim for debates that are respectful, constructive, and welcoming: * **Respect ideas and people** Listen actively, stay quiet while others speak, and debate arguments, not identities or beliefs. * **Be concise and civil** Keep questions short and relevant; avoid hostility, hate speech, or discrimination. * **Respect boundaries and time** No unwanted advances or suggestive behavior; arrive on time to avoid disrupting the debate. * **Follow moderators** They guide the discussion and ensure fairness.

🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 # 🇰🇷☕ Korean Starter Club – Apprendre le coréen autrement Bonjour à tous ! 😊 Je m'appelle Sohyeon et je vis actuellement en France. J'enseigne le coréen depuis la période du Covid et, comme beaucoup d'entre vous, j'adore apprendre les langues. Je parle et j'apprends actuellement : 🇫🇷 Français 🇬🇧 Anglais 🇷🇺 Russe 🇨🇳 Chinois 🇯🇵 Japonais En apprenant et en enseignant différentes langues, je me suis souvent posé plusieurs questions : 🤔 Comment apprendre une nouvelle langue lorsqu'on manque de temps ? 🤔 Comment aider les enfants ou les personnes qui ont des difficultés avec la lecture ? 🤔 Comment créer un environnement où l'on peut réellement parler la langue étudiée ? 🤔 Comment gagner en confiance lorsqu'on apprend une langue ? 🤔 Est-il possible d'enseigner uniquement dans la langue cible tout en restant compréhensible pour tous ? --- ✨ C'est à partir de ces réflexions que j'ai créé mon propre programme. Un programme différent de ceux que l'on trouve dans les manuels classiques. L'objectif est simple : 🇰🇷 Apprendre le coréen en utilisant le coréen dès le premier jour. 💬 Comprendre naturellement grâce au contexte, aux images, aux gestes et aux interactions. 🤝 Créer une communauté où chacun peut progresser ensemble. --- # 🌱 Korean Starter Club Ce meetup est un programme d'initiation destiné aux débutants et aux personnes souhaitant reprendre confiance à l'oral. L'objectif est de découvrir une nouvelle façon d'apprendre le coréen, de pratiquer ensemble et de rencontrer d'autres personnes partageant le même intérêt pour la langue et la culture coréennes. 📢 Les possibilités de poursuivre l'apprentissage après ce programme seront présentées directement pendant les meetups. --- # ☕ Tea Time après le cours Après les cours, nous prendrons un moment ensemble autour d'un thé ou d'un café. 🍵 Pratiquer le coréen 💬 Discuter librement 🤝 Faire connaissance 🌍 Rencontrer des personnes partageant les mêmes centres d'intérêt --- # 🎯 Ce meetup est pour vous si... ✅ Vous ne connaissez absolument pas le coréen ✅ Vous avez déjà étudié mais vous manquez de pratique à l'oral ✅ Vous souhaitez apprendre avec d'autres personnes plutôt que seul(e) ✅ Vous êtes un enfant ou un jeune adulte d'origine coréenne né en France ✅ Vous manquez de temps pour suivre des cours traditionnels et faire beaucoup de devoirs ✅ Vous avez besoin de motivation pour apprendre ✅ Vous connaissez un peu la grammaire mais vous n'osez pas parler ✅ Vous aimeriez comprendre progressivement les dramas, émissions ou vidéos coréennes ✅ Vous préparez un voyage en Corée ✅ Vous souhaitez communiquer plus facilement avec un ami, un partenaire ou un membre de votre famille coréen ✅ Vous préférez apprendre en utilisant la langue plutôt qu'en mémorisant des règles ✅ Vous avez déjà abandonné plusieurs fois l'apprentissage d'une langue en étant seul(e) ✅ Vous souhaitez vous faire de nouveaux amis ✅ Vous cherchez une nouvelle activité ou un nouveau hobby ✅ Vous aimez découvrir différentes cultures et rencontrer des personnes du monde entier --- # 🎁 Bonus réservé aux membres Chaque mois, les participants du Korean Starter Club reçoivent : 🍳 Un coupon de réduction de 5€ pour les ateliers de cuisine coréenne One World Kitchen. --- # 🌍 Format en ligne & présentiel Afin de permettre au plus grand nombre de participer : 💻 Version en ligne 🏠 Version en présentiel à Villejuif Après le cours de 15h, un petit tea time sera également organisé pour les participants présents sur place. ☕✨ --- # 👥 Venez seul(e) ou accompagné(e) Pas besoin de connaître quelqu'un !

I've been teaching Korean since the Covid period, and like many of you, I love learning languages. I currently speak and study: 🇫🇷 French 🇬🇧 English 🇷🇺 Russian 🇨🇳 Chinese 🇯🇵 Japanese While learning and teaching languages, I've often asked myself several questions: 🤔 What if someone wants to learn a new language but doesn't have much time? 🤔 How can children or people who struggle with reading learn a language effectively? 🤔 How can we create an environment where people can actually speak the language they are learning? 🤔 How can learners gain confidence while learning a language? 🤔 Is it possible to teach entirely in the target language while making sure students understand everything? --- ✨ These questions inspired me to create my own learning program. A program different from what you usually find in traditional textbooks. The goal is simple: 🇰🇷 Learn Korean by using Korean from day one. 💬 Understand naturally through context, visuals, gestures, and interaction. 🤝 Build a community where everyone can learn and grow together. --- # 🌱 Korean Starter Club This meetup is an introductory program designed for complete beginners and for people who want to regain confidence when speaking Korean. The goal is to discover a new way of learning Korean, practice together, and meet others who share the same interest in Korean language and culture. 📢 Opportunities to continue learning after this program will be presented during the meetups. --- # ☕ Tea Time After Class After class, we'll spend some time together over tea or coffee. 🍵 Practice Korean 💬 Chat freely 🤝 Get to know each other 🌍 Meet people with similar interests --- # 🎯 This meetup is for you if... ✅ You know absolutely no Korean ✅ You've studied Korean before but need more speaking practice ✅ You'd rather learn with others than study alone ✅ You are a Korean child or young adult born and raised in France ✅ You don't have enough time for traditional language courses and lots of homework ✅ You need motivation to keep learning ✅ You know some grammar but hesitate when it's time to speak ✅ You'd like to gradually understand Korean dramas, variety shows, and videos ✅ You're planning a trip to Korea ✅ You'd like to communicate more naturally with a Korean friend, partner, or family member ✅ You prefer learning through real language use rather than memorizing grammar rules ✅ You've given up learning a language before because you were studying alone ✅ You'd like to make new friends ✅ You're looking for a new hobby or activity ✅ You enjoy discovering different cultures and meeting people from around the world --- # 🎁 Member Bonus Every month, Korean Starter Club members receive: 🍳 A €5 discount coupon for One World Kitchen Korean cooking workshops. --- # 🌍 Online & In-Person Format To allow as many people as possible to participate: 💻 Online sessions available 🏠 In-person sessions in Villejuif After the 3:00 PM class, participants attending in person are also invited to join a small tea time. ☕✨ --- # 👥 Come Alone or Bring Someone You don't need to know anyone to join!

🍣 Sushi Connections – Meet Through Shared Experiences, Not Interviews. Welcome to the very first event of our newly integrated Singles Community! Before we launch a full series of dating experiences, we'd like to test interest in a concept that we believe is much more natural, fun, and meaningful than traditional speed dating. ## Why Sushi? Let's be honest... Traditional singles events can feel a little artificial. You sit across from someone, ask the same questions over and over again.. Instead, what if people could meet while doing something together? Making sushi is the perfect activity because it is collaborative, social, fun, and allows participants to naturally rotate and interact with different people throughout the evening. Rather than interviewing each other, you'll be: 🍣 Preparing sushi together 🍣 Working as a team 🍣 Sharing laughs and conversation naturally 🍣 Meeting multiple people throughout the evening 🍣 Enjoying the sushi you helped create Sometimes the best connections happen when you're focused on an experience rather than trying to impress someone. And if you don't meet anyone , you've learned a new skill. ## The Concept The idea is simple: ✨ Welcome drink and introductions ✨ Sushi-making experience with rotating partners ✨ Shared dinner with the group ✨ Optional confidential matching system after the event The goal is to create a relaxed environment where people can get to know each other naturally through a shared activity. ## ⚠️ Important – Interest Check Event At this stage, we are publishing this event primarily to measure interest in the concept. 📍 **The exact venue is still being selected.** 💰 **The final price is not yet confirmed.** 🗓️ **The final event date may be adjusted slightly depending on venue availability.** By joining this event, you are simply expressing your interest in participating once the concept is finalised. If there is enough enthusiasm, we will secure the venue, finalise the details, and open official registrations. ## Who Is This For? ❤️ Singles who prefer meaningful interactions over superficial conversations ❤️ People who enjoy social activities and meeting new people ❤️ Anyone curious to try a different approach to dating If you've ever thought: *"I'd rather meet someone while doing something together than sitting across a table asking questions..."* then this event might be exactly what you're looking for. Join the interest list and help us launch the very first Sunday Vacations Sushi Connections experience! 🍣✨

Making the new Friends after work or in your vacation.

🌍 Open Discussion Meetup: Understanding Gen Z For our next meetup, we’re opening the conversation beyond books and diving into a broader discussion about Gen Z, the generation shaping culture, identity, work, relationships, politics, technology, and social life in rapidly changing times. How does Gen Z view the world differently? What pressures are young people facing today? How are social media, mental health, identity, dating, work expectations, and global uncertainty shaping an entire generation? Rather than a formal debate, this will be an open, thoughtful, and respectful exchange of ideas and experiences. The goal is not to “win” discussions, but to better understand the realities, frustrations, hopes, and contradictions surrounding Gen Z today. Whether you’re Gen Z yourself, a parent, teacher, researcher, or simply curious about generational change, you’re very welcome to join. 📅 Date: Saturday, 13 June ⏰ Time: 11:30 📍 Venue: Carpe Diem, Avenue de Tervuren 13, 1040 Brussels Expect an engaging and relaxed conversation over coffee, with people from different backgrounds and perspectives. As always, those who wish can stay for lunch afterwards. 🏡 Meetup Ground Rules 1️⃣ Everyone is welcome, regardless of background or generation 2️⃣ We listen to understand, not to win 3️⃣ Curiosity, respect, and openness come first Looking forward to another lively and meaningful exchange of ideas. 📞 Questions: 0474.60.83.70
