The Minority Report is a weekly stand-up comedy show about identity, culture, and the expat experience. Are you a minority in Europe? Did something weird, awkward, or low-key offensive happen to you this week? This is the space to vent your feelings about it. Every week, comedians Bryan Lee and Moe Singleton take the stage to unpack life as outsiders, offering their unique commentary on topics like race, masculinity, relationships, and life between cultures. Add weekly special guest comedians and “question time” with the audience, and you’ve got Berlin’s most unhinged comedy experience. 🎟️ Want to warm up before the show? Check out our comedy workshop – a beginner-friendly stand-up class with Bryan and Moe, hosted just before the show.

**Conscious Concert – ein Abend, der nachklingt.** **Musik. Begegnung. Achtsamkeit.** Das *Conscious Concert* ist kein gewöhnliches Konzert – es ist ein Erlebnisabend für Herz und Seele. Eine ganz besondere Mischung aus Seminar/Workshop und Konzert, die Dich unterstützt auch langfristig mehr bei Dir anzukommen. Und eine Einladung, innezuhalten, durchzuatmen und Dich selbst wieder ein Stück näher kennenzulernen. 🎶 **Musik mit Herz, Tiefe und Zauber:** Du wirst nicht nur zuhören, sondern mitfühlen, mitsummen, mitwachsen. Die Songs sind musikalisch so vielseitig wie das Leben selbst – mal mit einem Hauch Disney-Magie, mal mitreißend wie ein Rocksong, mal verspielt, ganz ruhig oder voller Leichtigkeit und Freude. Viele laden zum Mitsingen ein, andere berühren still und tief. 💫 **Eine moderne Held/innenreise bildet den roten Faden des Abends** – sie führt Dich leicht, lebendig und berührend durch innere und äußere Landschaften. Die Musik öffnet Türen, die Worte schenken Orientierung, die Atmosphäre gibt Raum für Begegnung – mit Dir und anderen. 🧭 **Wer begleitet Dich durch den Abend?** Hi, ich bin Stefan – studierter Maschinenbauer, dann Digitalisierungsberater, heute *Wegbegleiter für Herz, Kopf und Seele*. Als Kind gehörloser Eltern habe ich früh gelernt, genau hinzuhören – auf das, was zwischen den Zeilen schwingt. Seit vielen Jahren bin ich auf intensiver Reise zu mehr Tiefe, Achtsamkeit und echter Verbindung. Mit Musik, Inspiration und einem offenen Herzen lade ich Dich ein: Lass uns gemeinsam wachsen – für eine Welt, die innen wie außen ein kleines Stück schöner wird. ✨ **Was Dich noch erwartet:** Zwischen den Liedern erwarten Dich kleine Übungen, überraschende Perspektiven und Momente echter Verbindung – mit Humor, Tiefe und liebevoller Leichtigkeit. Alles kann, nichts muss. 📖 Und: Du bekommst vor Ort einen liebevoll gestalteten **Conscious Concert Companion** – ein kleines Booklet, das Dich durch den Abend begleitet und Dir danach immer wieder eine Inspiration sein soll. Was genau drin steckt? Lass Dich überraschen! 🤝 **Für wen ist das Conscious Concert gedacht?** Für alle, die Lust auf neue Perspektiven, bewusste Selbstwahrnehmung und einen Abend mit echter Bedeutung haben. Du brauchst kein Vorwissen – nur ein offenes Herz. 🌱 **Was bleibt:** Ein gestärktes Gefühl für Dich selbst. Neue Impulse, die in Dir nachwirken. Und ein Abend, der noch lange in Dir klingt. Bring gern Deine Herzensmenschen mit – oder mach ein Date mit Dir selbst draus. 🎫**Sichere Dir jetzt Deine Teilnahme und tu‘ Dir etwas Gutes.** Bitte sage bis Sonntag um 12:00 Uhr mittags zu (oder auch wieder ab). Zahle am Ende so viel wie du möchtest / wie es dir wert war - als Orientierung: etwa 15 bis 25 € sind ein fairer Preis.

Data Science Retreat presents 5 Machine Learning prototypes and projects by Batch 44 participants. **Free to Attend!** Hey Berlin Data Folks! We’re kicking off 2026 with our first data event of the year. Join us for project demos, fresh ideas, great conversations, and of course—pizza & drinks on us 🍕🍻 Don’t miss it! **Agenda:** **17:30** \- Drinks and Networking **18:00** \- Welcome & Introduction Followed by Project Presentations **Project Ideas:** **1\. AI/ML \- EV Battery Shape Classification** ***Project by Uma Maheswari Obbani*** The project aims to automate the detection and classification of used electric vehicle (EV) batteries by shape — cylindrical, prismatic, or pouch — using AI/ML and computer vision techniques. The goal is to provide manufacturers and recyclers with real-time insights about battery type distribution, enabling efficient sorting, inventory management, and safety compliance. **2\. Developing Scalable and Reliable Coffee Yield Forecasting Tools** ***Project by Dr. Juan Fernando Duenas Serrano*** The aim of the project is short term coffee yield forecasting improves planning and value creation across the supply chain, from farmers to roasters. Current yield estimation methods are not scalable and require specialized expertise. This project explores computer vision as a scalable alternative using smartphone images. A YOLOv8 object detection model counts unripe Arabica coffee cherries on branches. The model can estimate yield at tree or farm level with optional user input. A Gradio or Streamlit web app will demonstrate, evaluate, and extend the model’s potential. **3\. Classic Car Diagnostic Tool** ***Project by Lulezim Ukaj*** This project aims to develop a specialized AI-powered diagnostic tool for classic cars that leverages community knowledge from German automotive forums. Unlike modern OBD-II–based diagnostic tools, which dominate the market, this solution targets pre-1996 vehicles where standardized electronic diagnostics do not exist. **4\. Enhancing on\-site audience audio** ***Project by Thede Witschel*** This project develops an enterprise-grade AI platform that automates the extraction of ESG data, regulatory compliance checks, and peer benchmarking for companies. Utilizing NLP and machine learning, the system converts unstructured sustainability reports into standardized metrics, facilitating real-time compliance monitoring and competitive intelligence across various industries. Business Impact: Targets the rapidly growing ESG software market, serving investment firms, consulting companies, and institutional investors requiring automated analysis for portfolio decisions and regulatory compliance. **5\. Ludus Automated Game Balancing: An AI\-Driven Evolutionary Pipeline for Card Game Meta\-Stability** ***Project by Rami Aldrea*** This project addresses the critical and often labor-intensive challenge of balancing a complex digital card game meta, specifically focusing on a 70-card set. The primary objective was to develop and validate an automated, iterative pipeline capable of achieving and maintaining a stable, competitive game environment where no single card or archetype consistently dominates. The desired outcome was a game meta with a mean card win rate of 50%, minimal variance (ideally <5% standard deviation for competitive e-sports), and preserved strategic diversity, all while significantly reducing manual design time. **20:00** \- Open for networking **20:30** \- Wrap up We have limited seat so please RSVP soon. See you all at the event.

**🎬 Screenwriters' Meetup Invitation 🎬** This meetup is for anyone passionate about storytelling—whether you’re a screenwriter, filmmaker, producer, or someone with a great idea looking for the right collaborators. Whether you’re just starting out or deep into your screenplay, this is the perfect space to create, collaborate, and refine your work. **When You Bring Your Screenplay, Think About Three Key Ingredients:** 1. **Your Main Character** – Who are they? What drives them? 2. **The Central Conflict** – What’s at stake? What’s standing in their way? 3. **The Theme** – What’s the deeper idea that motivates you to tell this story? If you’re struggling to find a theme, define your character, or establish a strong conflict—don’t worry. That’s exactly what this meetup is for. We’re here to help you uncover the core of your story and give you the tools to develop it further. Already have an elaborate story? Great! Reflect on these elements: * **Compelling Characters** – Are they layered, dynamic, and memorable? * **Inner Conflicts, Interpersonal Tensions, and Global Stakes** – Does your story operate on multiple levels? * **A Strong, Personal Theme** – Does your theme resonate with you and give your story purpose? If you can identify these elements, we can dive even deeper and give you focused, constructive feedback to help your screenplay reach its full potential. Bring your ideas, your drafts, and your passion. Let’s collaborate, challenge each other, and create stories that matter. We can’t wait to see you there!

Curious what we do? Check our [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/filmmakersandmovienerds/) ♥️ Would you like to meet some like-minded filmmakers? Start a project? Or do you need help with a movie you are currently working on? Are you new in the city and you'd like to meet people tinkering with movies? **Then you should join us!** We meet every Sunday. It’s important to us that we get to know each other in person. To create a community of connected people, work, learn and grow together. For film making you need a crew of reliable people with a positive can-do-attitude. This is the place to find them. Together, we will talk about these topics: * What you are currently working on * What you need help with * What would you like to help with * What you you would like to learn This is event is great for: * filmmakers * movie nerds * writers * camera operators * editors * actors * sound recorders * composers * gaffers * producers We are limiting the amount of people, so we can have a structured introduction and discussion. After that we get together loosely with some drinks and chats. And then we mostly go for dinner with a couple of us. **Important information**: *To sustain and grow this amazing community, we started a member contribution that is due every month. The money we collect is used solely for the purpose of the community. Of course you can come once or twice without contributing to check us out!*

Our January program is privileged to have Kristen Tregar as our speaker. Ms. Tregar is the co-author with John de Lancie (the actor who portrayed the character Q on Star Trek next generation) of a radio play depicting the events surrounding the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial. The trial decided the issue of some of the Dover school district board members attempting to insert creationism disguised as "intelligent design" into the 9th grade biology curriculum. She will discuss the trial and the process of writing the play. (Bob Leonhard has seen the play and it is riveting and tense). Ms. Tregar's bio is below: Kristen Tregar is a dramaturg, director, playwright, and theatre teacher. She earned her Ph.D. in Drama and Theatre from the UC San Diego and UC Irvine joint program. In addition, she has a MS in Forensic Science from City University of New York- John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a MA in Educational Theatre from New York University- Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. In 2013, in collaboration with Irish colleagues, she founded *The Ireland Project*, an intercontinental devised theatre work with high school students in New York and Tallaght, Ireland. Her original short story "Far From Here" was recently published in *Stay Awhile Longer: More Scenes From Temecula Valley*. She has two rescued dogs (Kira and Harry) and she rides, competes, and foxhunts with her horses, Andromache and Baker Street Irregular. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

Happy New Year Colleagues, The next Columbus Futurists public forum will be **Thursday January 15 at 12:00 pm noon** (eastern) [https://osu.zoom.us/j/93451873651?pwd=RXIyZ2t5RjRqRG02UGQ1aEFVQ1NFZz09](https://osu.zoom.us/j/93451873651?pwd=RXIyZ2t5RjRqRG02UGQ1aEFVQ1NFZz09) Please come prepared to offer your **"What if?" questions for 2026**. (I will offer seven to begin our conversation.) I also would like to announce the publication of my latest book: *[Anticipatory Biographies: Personal Histories of the Future](https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-032-08912-0)*, the tenth volume in the “Anticipation Science” series. Grounded in design fiction, futures research, anticipation science, and scenario writing, *Anticipatory Biographies* envisions how the world will be reshaped by artificial intelligence, technological automation, climate change, political disintegration, and the decline of higher education. This work of creative non-fiction bridges literary and scholarly forms, blending biography and design fiction with research-based insights to offer a narrative-based method for exploring futures. Ed Finn, Director of the Center for Science and the Imagination at Arizona State University says: “In this book **David Staley has invented a delightful new genre: the future biography.** He invites us to step into gritty, thrilling, and inspiring futures elbow-to-elbow with the characters living those stories. *Anticipatory Biographies* beautifully synthesizes Staley’s training as a historian, his expertise as a futurist, and his desire to ignite the imagination of his readers.” Hope you'll be able to read it, and hope to see you all on the 15th.
