Ideas

*«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.

🚀 **Vom Code zum Kosmos: Programmieren lernen mit Python** Programmieren wirkt oft kompliziert. Doch die Grundlagen lassen sich einfacher verstehen, wenn man die Auswirkungen des eigenen Codes direkt sehen kann. In diesem Workshop erhalten Sie einen verständlichen Einstieg in die Programmiersprache Python. Gemeinsam erkunden wir grundlegende Konzepte wie Variablen, Schleifen und Funktionen und lernen, wie Computer Programme ausführen. Anstatt nur Text auf dem Bildschirm zu betrachten, verwenden wir einfache Animationen und Weltraumvideos als Lernwerkzeug. So werden Änderungen am Code sofort sichtbar und die wichtigsten Programmierkonzepte lassen sich intuitiv nachvollziehen. * Was macht ein Computer eigentlich mit einem Programm? * Was sind Variablen, Schleifen und Funktionen? * Wie verändert eine kleine Änderung im Code das Ergebnis? * Wie entstehen aus Programmcode einfache Animationen? Vorkenntnisse sind nicht erforderlich. Der Workshop richtet sich an alle, die einen ersten Einblick in die Welt des Programmierens erhalten möchten. Am Ende des Workshops werden die Teilnehmenden die Grundstruktur einfacher Python-Programme verstehen, Code lesen und anpassen können und erlebt haben, wie Programmcode sichtbare Ergebnisse erzeugt. Bitte bringen Sie Ihren eigenen Laptop mit und installieren Sie Python vor dem Workshop. Begleiten Sie uns zu einem Abend voller Entdeckungen und erster Schritte in die Welt des Programmierens. In Volketswil heisst es: Ready for launch. 🎟️ Ab 16 Jahren: CHF 25 bei Voranmeldung via [info@volkibrains.ch](mailto:info@volkibrains.ch), CHF 30 an der Abendkasse Bis 15 Jahre: kostenlos 📍 Ort: Stationsstrasse 25a, 8604 Volketswil 📅 Datum: Donnerstag, 25. Juni 2026, 18:00–20:00 Uhr (Türöffnung 17:45 Uhr)

A small in-person breakfast for founders and operators in Zürich to talk about what they are building, running, and figuring out right now. The idea is simple: coffee, breakfast, and one proper conversation with people who are building or running businesses here. This is not a panel, not a pitch event, and not formal networking. No one is presenting. No one is selling from the front of the room. It is just a small group conversation around what people are actually working through right now. We’ll keep the format simple: * quick introductions * what you are working on right now * one shared question for the table * open conversation over coffee and breakfast The group is intentionally small so everyone can actually speak and get to know each other. Everyone pays for their own coffee/breakfast. Good fit if you are a founder, operator, or someone actively building/running a business in Zürich and you prefer real conversations over pitching. Looking forward to meeting all of you as always. Feel free to message me on meetup if you can't find me, I'll respond quickly.

Welcome to the **Task-Buddies** event of the **Zürich Productivity Circle**, where we bring together like-minded individuals to work on personal goals and share the experience of growth in a supportive community. Maybe you are building a business or side hustle, studying for a course, learning a new (programming) language, figuring the tax system out, writing code, prose, or poetry, researching new stocks for your portfolio, tackling your German homework, or upskilling for your job. In all of these cases and more, this is the perfect space for you. In fact, productivity does not end there. Even if you just want to read a psychology book to resolve a personal struggle, sketch a mountain, listen to podcasts, organize your week, respond to unanswered emails and messages, enjoy a novel, or just reflect and meditate, you are very welcome here. For any task that adds positively to your life and can be done sitting down with others (exception: anything noisy/disruptive/disrespectful), you will fit into the events. We will meet at a work-friendly café in Zürich and follow the agenda below. **Agenda:** * **Introductions and food (20-30 mins):** Start with a round of introductions to get to know each other and share what we'll be working on, buy our food and drinks. * **Productive Work Session (1-2 hours)** Dive into your individual tasks in a focussed, distraction-free environment. * **Collective Break and Socializing (\~15 mins):** Take a planned break to stretch, chat, get more coffee, and share insights about your projects. * **Continued Work Session (1-2 hours):** Get back to your tasks with renewed focus and motivation. * **Wrap-Up and Reflections (15+ mins):** Conclude with a reflection on what we accomplished, share productivity tips or questions, discuss plans for future meetups, stay back for more chit chat if you like. **What to Bring:** * Your project or task materials (laptop, charger, books, sketchpad, pen, etc.) * Respectful and kind demeanour * A positive attitude and a willingness to share and learn **Note:** Please ensure that your tasks are suitable for a quiet, communal setting. We aim to maintain a respectful and conducive environment for everyone. **Venue Courtesy:** Out of courtesy for the venue, please order something drinks for yourself. This helps support the café and ensures we can continue to use their space for our meetups.

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**!

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
