Chinese Language Meetup
大家好!
We meet once a week to speak in and about Chinese. Most participants are advanced speakers, or of Chinese descent.
Your are a beginner? By all means give our meet-up a chance and drop by! We'd love to help you navigate through the first steps into this fascinating language.
If the weather allows we will meet outside (see indicated location). Please bring your own beverages and food. There is a public toilet nearby.
我们每周二晚上七点在火车站附近的某个餐厅聚会,一边吃晚餐(已吃过的也可以只喝一杯),一边用中文聊天。本着开放原则,参加者资格和话题不受任何限制。
我们特别欢迎各位华侨、华裔和来自中国的留学生参加我们的活动,扩充我们对中国的了解。不见不散!
天气允许的话我们在外面聚会(请参考所颁布的地点)。此时请安排自己的饮料和食物。附近有公共厕所。
Boulder Together! 🧗♀️
Bouldering is like a whole body puzzle!
And if you never tried we would be happy to have you join us!
And the best part is...it's fun and challenging at every level.
It is Rock climbing without the ropes, but with lower heights and nice \*soft mats\* to break your fall. :)
At Boulderlounge Schlieren we have many routes and skilled staff.
We are usually a group of 10-15. And we usually meet at 19:00 at the entrance of Boulderlouge. Some come earlier and some later, but either way write in the chat (see below) and someone will be there to find you and welcome you! Be looking for Ana or Marco.
Entrance Price: 23 CHF
Shoe rental: 7chf (in case you do not have)
At the end of the session we sometimes have a drink and hangout with the group. The gym has food, snacks and drinks.
-> Write us a message if you want to be added in the whatsapp group where we coordinate also for other sessions!
We hope to see you there!
PS: Are you visiting Boulderlounge for the first time? Then please register before the meetup: [https://216.webclimber.de/register ](https://216.webclimber.de/register)

Badminton Wednesday 🏸
Welcome to the Winterthur Badminton Meetup! 🏸👊😉🍻
We’re an international group created for badminton fans in and around Winterthur. Open to Expats and Swiss folks who want to train and socialise with fellow ‘badmintonists’. Or perhaps you’d like to learn the sport and meet new people? Whether doing it for fun or fitness, the idea is to enjoy and have a great (kickass) midweek. And everyone is welcome to join us for a postgame drink or two! See yah! 😊
Important: We ask everyone to respect others who wish to play. That means dropping out if you won’t make it to the game by updating your RSVP.
Keep in mind:
RSVPs close at 21:00 two days before the event to give others enough time to plan. Anyone on the RSVP list who did not show up at the event is considered a "no-show".
No-shows will still have to pay the shared cost of the court and shuttles. We keep track of no-shows and deprioritise them in future games.
Please try your best to pay on the same day by Twint or in cash. With Twint, write in the comment the date and your name for reference.
Cost will be around 12-20 CHF, depending on the amount of players joining and if we have to rent 1 or 2 courts.
Note: If it's your first time joining, please send me a message for more details and to confirm your spot in the game. Otherwise, regular players will be given priority.
Cheers,
Elias

Christmas Stuff
🎅 **What?**
A gathering to spend Christmas day with others, share some gluhwein or eggnog while wearing ugly x-mas sweaters, have a bite to eat and exchange some presents!
The eggnog will be homemade, the fondue will be organized by the guests themselves, and the gifts will be randomly exchanges by playing a game!
📌 **Location**
The event will be held at a private apartment in Baden, right by the train station. Send us a PM or join the chat to get the details!
**⌛ Time**
The event will kick off in the evening, around 6PM, and will go on indefinitely. You can be late, and there is no fixed ending time.
At some point however, depending on the mood, we might go out!
**💰 Cost**
The event is **free**, and you are welcome to join it without further ado!
You can however help make it more fun by bringing certain things - *read the sections below*!
**👕 Sweaters**
Do you have an ugly x-mas sweater, hat or costume?
If so, bring it! If not now, then when?
**🫕 Food & Fondue**
The fondue pot will be brought by one of the guests. If you would like to help keep it going, you can bring cheese, things for dipping or fuel.
Alternatively, if you would like to bring some other dish to share or drinks, you are also very welcome to do so!
Please join the event chat to coordinate with others!
**🎁 Gift Exchange**
If you would like to participate in the gift-exchange, you will need to bring a gift! The gifts in the pile will then then be randomly exchanged by playing a game!
**Rules:**
* The gifts should ideally be within the 10-30 CHF value range.
* The gift can be either new, used, or something you already own.
* The gifts should be clean and in good condition.
* The gifts should be wrapped or otherwise covered (e.g. in a closed bag) to not spoil the surprise.
**Notes:**
* You can of course go above or below the recommended price range if your situation so allows or requires.
* Use common sense and think of things that could spark joy! Not many people would smile upon opening up 15 CHF of toothpaste rolls or office supplies D:

**WHY we do this? Human fun and meaningful Connection** is what we all deeply desire and makes us truly happy and healthy (scientifically proven - read below)!
.
**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!**
.
**Today's event** are:
* **🥳new comer area** (never was easier to spark a conversation, with ice-breakers, optional for first time attendees)
* **🤣fun social games** (like "cards against humanity" and more - read game names below)
* **🧘mindful games** (no small talk, connect deeper, from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) \- read game names below\)
* **👯 Diner** for 35 francs for 1 main + 1 desert + 1 drink *(for drinks choose: beer, wine, prosecco, water or soft-drink. For main and desert you can choose anything from the menu!)*
* 👬 or simply **hang-out** and **meet new & old friends** **without** a process ❤️
*Note: we **reserved 100%** of the space so **everyone** will be from our community!*
.
.
.
**Q&A:**
* **Where** **idea comes from**? Our events are inspired by the Swiss Stammtisch & Greek village concept of "[Καφενείο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)" (coffeeshops), once vibrant [community hubs](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=569660528&sxsrf=AM9HkKlXnclaLfgcockKtdr9qHdmD5jaGw:1696060562834&q=greek+%5D(https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=569660528&sxsrf=AM9HkKlXnclaLfgcockKtdr9qHdmD5jaGw:1696060562834&q=greek+)%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%86%CE%B5%CE%BD%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%BF&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi52fX67dGBAxXnlf0HHZNiBHUQ0pQJegQICRAB&biw=1460&bih=913&dpr=2&udm=2) where people gathered daily to socialise, play games, and enjoy snacks and drinks. I, Christos, have fond childhood memories visiting them with my grandfather. Though this tradition is fading in Greece, I’m passionate about reviving it with a modern twist. Hope you enjoy it! ❤️
* **Co-host?** and support this event? Then please contact Christos
* **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!
* **Coming solo?** guess what, again no problem! 95%+ of people come solo - its the perfect event to come solo!
* **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.**
* **Thank YOU** for being so open in meeting new people and making 70+ events with 7500+ attendees in 2.5+ years happen!
* more info via our **[LINKS](http://linktr.ee/connectionspace)**
* **Who** is it for\*\*?\*\* **Everyone is welcome**! Wir wollen gerne mehr **Schweizer/innen** dabei haben! Alle sind willkommen und die meisten können Deutsch sprechen. Not an expat event. **Everyone welcome**!
* Yes YOU are **good** & **courageous** for looking for new fun connections!
* 95% of people come **solo** \- you can too❤️
* 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**! We heard of many new friendships, living together and even getting a new job
* For **volunteering** for free please msg Christos 0768175380. We can provide free drinks for your service
* **Mindful Connection Games:** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) available: Confessions Game, The Friendship Game, Connection Game, The Loser Game, Games for grown-ups and three sets of "100 questions" (Conversation Toolkit & Careers & Relationships)
* **Fun Social Games:** bring your own **board/card games** or choose from: Cards against humanity, Exploding Kittens, Codenames, Debatable, Sotally Tober, Taboo, Mafia, Uno, Monopoly and more.
.
**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**
* **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

**ABOUT US IN DETAIL:**
.
**WHY Connection Space**?
* ... we ❤️ **uniting people** while having **fun!** We make the world better by enabling **fun quality connections** & building **community!**
* ... we truly believe **Human Connections** is what we truly **deeply crave** for and what we truly **need** so we can be **happy** and **healthy**! What we really need is all the things money cant buy. Human Connections making us happy is proven by data in [ANCIENT HISTORY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg_47J6sy3A), in [MODERN HISTORY](https://www.kiltrohealth.com/blog/blue-zones-social-connection-the-secret-to-longevity-and-well-being) and also scientifically proven by [HARVARD ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkKuTCFvzI)in an 87 year old study. Yes this makes you [HEALTHY](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/relationships-boost-survival/#:~:text=Overall%252C%2520social%2520support%2520increases%2520survival,%252Da%252Dday%2520smoking%2520habit) and is what you really need - the other things are not as important as society tells you.
.
**HOW does it work?** **Disconnect** your phone & Connect with people in a **free** and **super-fun Connection Event**! These recurring events create a "fixed" community without any specific reasons for connection (like interests, genders, age or countries). **Everyone is welcome**! The event is that **simple**😀.
.
* **WHAT is Connection Space?**
Imagine a co-working space where everyone is with headphones, laptops, mostly being 'alone' all day ...
or a cafe/restaurant/bar where pretty much all people talk to people they already know..
.
The **"Connection Space"** is exactly the opposite of that; its a **fun** social environment outside family and work, a cultural exchange, where we **unite** and hangout with **new and old friends** as **one community**.
.
Thats it.
.
No to phones, laptops, zoom-calls, books
No to a specific reason to get together (eg. only for specific hobbies, genders, age groups, languages etc)
No to just talking to your friends
Not a dating, not a party, not an expat-only meetup
NO to division (political racial gender etc)
.
Yes to simple and real in-person connection with new and old friends
YES TO FUN! We got many optional activities for you to try out
Yes to feeling like home & come as you are
Yes to unity, love and respect for one another
Yes to eating, drinking and music
Yes to everyone-is-welcome & always-free events
YES to UNITY! Getting along with each other in spite of different opinions
.
Our events are **inspired** by the Greek village culture of "[Καφενείο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)" (village coffeeshops) with photos [HERE](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=569660528&sxsrf=AM9HkKlXnclaLfgcockKtdr9qHdmD5jaGw:1696060562834&q=greek+%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%86%CE%B5%CE%BD%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%BF&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi52fX67dGBAxXnlf0HHZNiBHUQ0pQJegQICRAB&biw=1460&bih=913&dpr=2). When myself Christos was a kid, my granddad took me to these "[Καφενείο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)". Every neighbourhood had one, and people met, without an exaggeration, on a daily-basis. It was the community center of the village. People met new and old friends, played games, socialised, ate snacks, drank coffee and ouzo. It was a very friendly, welcoming and homey environment. Unfortunately this concept is rapidly dying in Greece. As a kid I had extremely good memories of these coffeeshops, and for this reason I am passionate to revive and recreate this environment and also add a modern twist. Hope you enjoy it!
.
* **WHAT is NOT Connection Space? NOT** a drinks or party event (responsible drinking only, no shots, no free drinks). **NOT** a dating event. **NOT** foreigners-only, but everyone is welcome
* **What KIND of event is this?** Its a mix of **social** and **cultural event** that build **community**. We have many people from so many different cultures socialising, we promote culture with events with Art exhibitions and Live Music and we also revive the social culture of the Greek traditional village coffeeshop (Καφενείο - read more above).
.
Looking forward to **fun quality Connections**! 🙂

Communication is everything in life
You are only as successful as your ability to communicate.

\- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence?
You can!
The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

Why I Believe This: Beginning 2026 with an Honest Conversation
**Start the new year with a Braver Angels gathering focused on speaking openly and listening deeply.**
**In small, structured groups, each person will have five minutes to share a political or social issue that matters to them and why- no debate, no interruption, just genuine curiosity.**
**Participants will practice curiosity, reflecting back values and emotions they hear, asking thoughtful questions, and- only with permission- offering their perspective.**
**It’s a simple and powerful way to connect with one another and begin the year with a respectful and courageous conversation.**
**Date: Saturday, January 10, 2026**
**Time: 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm**
**Place: Columbus Metropolitan Library, Southeast Branch, 3980 Hamilton Rd, Groveport, Ohio**

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](www.theboardwalks.com) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** **and join us for a 5-mile walk** (10,000+ steps!).
**What to expect:**
We walk as a group and dive into topics that go beyond small talk.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**Come prepared:**
We ask that you bring a thoughtful topic with you.
At the start of the walk, everyone shares their topic with the group, and these become the launching points for conversations throughout our 5 miles together.
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. Be a good egg and bring a topic that'd make people go "Oooh, interesting."
**Important notes:**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We welcome people of all ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). We want everyone to have a great experience, and this format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
**FAQs:**
* We have multiple first-timers on each walk! We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are very welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**Logistics:**
* **Arrive on time.** If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we kindly suggest that you skip the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and one of our goals is to create a "phone-free" space — which means everyone (including the host!) will be fully present. We can't answer messages during the event.
* **Read our [Ground Rules](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules)**. Our host gives an overview of what to expect at the beginning of the walk.
* **Share the magic**. If you enjoy the event, send **[this](www.theboardwalks.com)** to a friend. We're currently in 7 cities with more on the way (Austin, SF, NYC, Denver, Columbus, Boone, London). 🤠👋
**If you want to go deeper...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire.
* We're currently building our waitlist. Apply [here.](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board)
