Meaningful Afterwork
Ready for a different kind of afterwork? Want to get buzzed with inspiration?
**Join our Meaningful Afterwork!**
A relaxed and uplifting space for meaningful conversations inspired by the Bahá’í Writings.
Together, we explore deep questions about life, purpose, and the world around us, connecting spiritual insights with the realities of everyday living and the challenges of society.
An open, co-created, and collaborative space for reflection, discussion, and consultation, where everyone is welcome to be a protagonist, share, listen, and think together.
And because meaningful connection also happens around the table, this is also a potluck-style gathering: feel free to bring something to share! Food for the soul… and for the body ;)
Come as you are. Bring your openness and curiosity, meet new people and recharge your spirit!
The Details:
* 📅 **Date:** Thursday, 7th May
* ⏰ **Time:** 6:30pm
* 📍 **Location:** 17, Allée Léopold Goebel, Luxembourg City

Feel & Grow Club — Stepping Back & Seeing Clearly
This week, we’ll explore something subtle but powerful — the ability to step back and observe.
To notice what’s happening, without immediately reacting.
To see ourselves, our thoughts, and situations from a bit more distance.
What changes when we do that?
Does it create more space, more clarity?
This is not about doing it “right” — just a space to reflect, share, or listen.
You can come if you:
• want to meet new people
• feel like talking (or just listening)
• enjoy meaningful but relaxed conversations
• are curious to explore something new
We’ll meet, sit together, and start with a simple icebreaker, followed by a question:
“When was the last time you were able to pause and see a situation differently?”
From there, we let the conversation flow naturally.
📍 Location: Casino art gallery library in case of rain ☔️
in case of sun ☀️ we are meeting at the heart of the park at Mikrokosmos
📍 18 Av. Emile Reuter, 2420 Ville-Haute Luxembourg
🕒 Duration: around 1.5–2 hours

Peter Kranz: Enter the Java Dungeon - Eine interaktive Reise durch Java 9-26
Hallo liebe Java User Group Mitglieder!
Diesmal haben wir Peter Kranz mit seinem interaktiven Talk zu den unterschiedlichen Java-Versionen zu Gast.
Wir freuen uns euch zu sehen (virtuell oder vor Ort).
* 18:00 Uhr: Einlass
* 18:30 Uhr: Talk
* ab 19:30: Ausklang des Abends

Java entwickelt sich seit Version 9 im Halbjahresrhythmus weiter – mit Records, Pattern Matching, Virtual Threads und vielen weiteren Features. Doch wer hat schon die Zeit, 17 Releases im Detail zu verfolgen? Die Fülle an Neuerungen ist enorm, und je nach Projekt und Interesse sind ganz unterschiedliche Features relevant. Ein klassischer Vortrag kann hier nur einen starren Pfad durch die Feature-Landschaft bieten.
Dieser Talk geht einen anderen Weg: als interaktiver Dungeon Crawler. Das Publikum entscheidet gemeinsam, welchen Themenkomplex es als Nächstes erkunden will – Moderne Sprach-Features, Concurrency, APIs, JVM-Tooling oder experimentelle Preview-Features. Jede Entscheidung führt tiefer in den Dungeon und schaltet neue Level frei. So entsteht bei jedem Vortrag ein einzigartiger Pfad durch die Java-Versionen 9 bis 26.
Wie in einem echten Dungeon Crawler sammelt das Publikum dabei XP und wird am Ende einer Klasse zugeordnet – vom Warrior mit Fokus auf Performance bis zum Wizard der Sprach-Features. Ob Einsteiger:in oder erfahrene:r Entwickler:in: Jede Session liefert praxisnahe Einblicke in genau die Java-Features, die das Publikum am meisten interessieren. Kein Vortrag gleicht dem anderen – und der einzige Weg, alles zu sehen, ist wiederzukommen.

European Day at Experience Europe
Dear All,
Let's celebrate Europe on the European Day!
Experience Europe has a special event with guided tours etc. AND Food Trucks!
So same procedure as last year !
We will be early hoping it will be less busy in the morning and learn more about Europe. Afterwards, we will sample check the quality of the food trucks.
For those who have yet to visit the Experience Europe: It is quite well made. There are some "rabbit holes" where you start reading and loose sense of time. My first visit lasted 2h and ended with my stomach reminding me of lunchtime.
Here the link: [https://www.europarl.europa.eu/europe-day/assets/pdfs/2026-luxembourg-europe-day-program_en.pdf](https://www.europarl.europa.eu/europe-day/assets/pdfs/2026-luxembourg-europe-day-program_en.pdf)
See you on Saturday!

☀️ Mullerthal 1 ☀️
Welcome to the yearly Mullerthal megaloop trails.
Everybody can do as much as they want from them, the estimated time of completion for all individual loops are ~10 hours. The start time and location for Mullerthal 1/2 are adjusted to be exactly the same. Those who miss them can still join route 3 which intersects with route 2 at the famous waterfall (Schiessentümpel), those who miss them all see you in 2027 as these hikes will not be repeated this year. The weather looks perfect for the weekend 22C clear sky ☀️ so the hike is ongoing. Please bring at least 2L water and come in long pants even if inconvenient, against ticks. Saturday is also public holiday so there is a different schedule for the buses, you can get there earlier but make sure you reach the 08:19 bus from Luxexpo latest, which gets there by 08:51.

Duty vs. Results: What Makes an Action Moral?
When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches.
* **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason.
* **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes.
## Discussion Questions
1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie.
2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?**
3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome?
4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend?
5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles?
6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way?
7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time?
8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?
