Commitment matters. *** Improv theatre is one of the best ways to step out of your comfort zone — while actually having fun. In this workshop we’ll focus on: * Storytelling techniques * Scene work * Playfulness and connection * Understanding how comedy works No experience needed. Just curiosity and willingness to try. *** **Workshop Structure** **First half:** Warm-up games and storytelling exercises to build energy, trust and spontaneity. **Second half:** Scene work. We’ll apply what we explored and create improvised moments together. It’s interactive. You’ll be on your feet. You’ll participate. *** **Break & Sharing** You’re welcome to bring food and drinks to share during the break. Let’s keep it relaxed and social. Improv works best when we connect not just on stage, but also off stage. *** **About talkin’** talkin' is an event series focusing on personal development and social adventures, hosted by amateurs and non-professionals. Every participant has the chance to lead their own talkin' event! We believe that the best way to grow as a person is to go out of your comfort zone and have fun along the way. You don't think that's possible? Come and join us and see for yourself. The English-speaking group invites internationals in Vienna, but also Austrians who enjoy speaking English. We are a group of people who organize monthly social adventures. Everyone is free to join. This event will be held in English. Please respect each other and speak English only. German events will be organized in the future as well. *** To stay updated about all our events, join our Telegram: [https://t.me/czc_vienna](https://t.me/czc_vienna)

Como ya empieza a hacer calor, he pensado que sería buena idea celebrar el evento en un local con terraza. Para esta ocasión he reservado en Rüdigerhof (Hamburgerstraße 20, 1050 Wien). En Rüdigerhof ya estuvimos el pasado verano en dos ocasiones, y este verano es el local elegido para empezar la temporada de verano. Rüdigerhof se encuentra a pocos metros del Naschmarkt (U4 Kettenbrückengasse). **En Rüdigerhof** no aceptan tarjetas, y **solo se puede pagar en metálico**. Si el tiempo acompaña (y eso es lo que esperamos todos), nos sentaremos en la terraza. He hecho una reserva para 20 personas y, por cuestiones de logística, es conveniente llegar puntual. En este verano tengo la intención de celebrar el evento en distintos locales con terraza (así que si no vienes, te lo pierdes). Ante cualquier duda, especialmente si es tu primera vez, puedes mandarme un WhatsApp: +4369010297300. El evento tiene la función de que nos juntemos para pasar un rato divertido. No olvides compartir el evento con otras personas interesadas. También tenemos un grupo de Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/426629184137458/ No olvides seguirnos en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cafedelalengua/

Hi everyone, On **Sunday, June 14th, 2026**, I'm planning a scenic circular hike from **Payerbach** with beautiful views of **Rax** and **Schneeberg**. This hike is all about walking and experiencing the landscape together, with plenty of time for conversation, short breaks, and simply being outdoors. **Hike Details:** **Distance:** approx. 12 km **Elevation Gain:** approx. 550 m **Walking Time:** approx. 5 hours **Difficulty:** While the hike is technically mostly easy, please make sure you are comfortable with the fitness requirements of the distance combined with the elevation gain. More information about the route: [https://www.bahn-zum-berg.at/rax-co/rundwanderung-payerbach/](https://www.bahn-zum-berg.at/rax-co/rundwanderung-payerbach/) **Meeting Point & Travel** **Meeting Time:** 08:30 at **Bahnhof Meidling**, downstairs near the ticket machines and travel information centre, to organise the *Einfach-Raus* group tickets. We will take the train departing at **09:05** directly to **Payerbach**. If you arrive too late for the group ticket arrangement, please purchase your own ticket before boarding the train. For many participants, the **VOR Freizeit-Ticket** may be a good option. We aim to catch the train departing **Payerbach at 16:57** back to Vienna. **What to expect** * We will walk together at a relaxed, social pace and stay as a group throughout the day. * This is not a race or a performance hike. As long as you have the basic fitness required for this route, the focus is on shared experience, conversation, and enjoying the landscape at an unhurried pace. * We will take regular short breaks whenever useful. * We do not plan to stop at huts or restaurants during the hike, so please bring your own food and drinks (approximately **2 litres** of water recommended). * Weather conditions can change quickly in the mountains, so basic rain protection is recommended. * Please wear sturdy **hiking shoes**. Depending on recent weather, some sections may be muddy. **For safety reasons, I reserve the right to refuse participation on the day if footwear is not suitable for the conditions.** * Please bring **sun protection** (hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses), especially on warm or sunny days. * Toilet facilities are available on the train and in Payerbach before and after the hike. **Important Note** ⚠️ **Disclaimer:** As always, this is a free, private leisure activity. I am not a certified hiking guide, and participation is entirely at your own responsibility and risk. I will send a weather update on **Thursday evening** to everyone who has registered. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Looking forward to sharing this hike with you! Jörg **\*The "Einfach-raus" Group Ticket** We will use a group ticket, and it requires some coordination: **How it works:** It is one ticket for a group of 2–5 people. We will form these groups at the meeting point at 08:30; please be on time if you want to participate. You must travel together for both the departure and the return journey. You cannot split off and take a different train home if you are on a group ticket. **The cost:** The more people in a group, the cheaper it gets. Expect to pay between €10 and €19 per person. To be fair, we can either pay by specific group size or pool all the money and split it equally. **Cash is mandatory:** Please bring physical cash and coins. We need to collect the money before buying the tickets to make sure everyone gets their change back quickly. **Information regarding this ticket:** [https://www.oebb.at/en/tickets-kundenkarten/freizeit-urlaub/einfach-raus-ticket](https://www.oebb.at/en/tickets-kundenkarten/freizeit-urlaub/einfach-raus-ticket) If you prefer not to be tied to a group, or if you aren’t sure when you want to head back to Vienna, do not join the group ticket. Instead, buy the VOR Freizeitticket; it costs €19.90 for the day in Lower Austria. This will also be your option if you arrive too late for the group ticket or one group doesn't have enough participants for a group ticket. **Information regarding this ticket:** [https://www.vor.at/en/tickets/ticket-overview/leisure-ticket](https://www.vor.at/en/tickets/ticket-overview/leisure-ticket)

Human Design isn’t just theory, it’s a map back to your natural way of operating. Stop pushing against the grain and start living in alignment.

Since it’s Wednesday, Zoku features live music in the evening. You’re warmly invited to stay after the workshop, enjoy the tunes, and connect with the community in a relaxed atmosphere. *** ## A Note on Attendance Please only sign up if you are certain you can attend. We coordinate seating directly with the venue based on our numbers, so an accurate headcount is essential to ensure we have the perfect space for everyone.

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
