Clubabend der Steglitz Toastmasters - Rhetorikclub
Hast du Angst, vor Publikum zu sprechen? Verlangt dein Beruf Präsentationen, Pitches oder Vorträge? Wirst du nervös, sobald alle Augen auf dich gerichtet sind? Verlierst du manchmal den roten Faden oder merkst, wie deine Zuhörer gedanklich auf Wanderschaft gehen? Dann bist du bei uns genau richtig. Bei Toastmasters trainierst du deine Redekunst in einem sicheren, wertschätzenden Umfeld. Schritt für Schritt. Rede für Rede. Mit klarem Feedback und echter Unterstützung. Hier wächst nicht nur deine Technik, sondern auch deine Präsenz. ## So läuft ein typischer Abend ab 🎤 Der Abend wird von **Alexandra, unserer Präsidentin**, eröffnet. Sie führt durch das Programm und sorgt dafür, dass sich Gäste wie Mitglieder gleichermaßen willkommen fühlen. ### 🗣 Vorbereitete Reden (meist 4 Reden à 5–7 Minuten) In der Regel erwarten dich vier vorbereitete Reden. Persönlich, inspirierend, humorvoll oder nachdenklich. Jede Rede dauert zwischen 5 und 7 Minuten und ist Teil eines individuellen Lernwegs. ### ☕ Pause Zeit zum Austausch, Durchatmen und Kennenlernen. ### ⚡ Stegreifreden (1–2 Minuten) Hier wird es spontan. Ein Impuls, eine Frage, ein Gedanke. Auch **mutige Gäste** dürfen sich ausprobieren und ganz ungezwungen Bühnenluft schnuppern. ### 📝 Feedbackteil Nun kommt der vielleicht wichtigste Teil des Abends. * **Bewertungsreden** zu den vorbereiteten Reden (je 2–3 Minuten) * Feedback weiterer Rollen wie Zeitnehmer oder Sprachstilbewerter * Ein **Gesamtbewerter**, der den Abend als Ganzes reflektiert Das Feedback ist konstruktiv, konkret und immer wertschätzend. Es zeigt Stärken auf und gibt klare Impulse zur Weiterentwicklung. ### 👋 Verabschiedung Zum Abschluss rundet Alexandra den Abend ab und gibt einen Ausblick auf kommende Treffen. ### 🍽 Danach: Restaurant & Socializing Wer mag, kommt mit ins Restaurant. Dort wird weitergeredet, gelacht, diskutiert und vernetzt. Wenn du lernen willst, klarer zu sprechen, souveräner aufzutreten und deine Botschaften wirkungsvoll zu platzieren, dann komm einfach zum nächsten Clubtreffen. Die Bühne wartet nicht auf Perfektion. Sie belohnt Mut. ✨

High-Performing Brunch
High-Performing Brunch
Join us for a brunch with ambitious, driven people who want more than small talk. This meetup is for people who enjoy ideas, but value action even more — people who appreciate honest conversation, challenging perspectives, and being around others who want to build, improve, and make things happen. As Grant Cardone said, “No commitment equals no results.” We take that seriously here: commitment matters. **Please read before RSVPing:** * RSVP “yes” only if you genuinely plan to attend. * If your plans change, update your RSVP *at least 24 hours in advance* so someone else can take the spot. * Members who no-show, or cancel less than 24 hours before the event, will be blocked from future events. * As we are meeting on a busy Saturday morning, please be respectful of the café and plan for a minimum spend of 10 EUR per person.

**Just Speak Deutsch! 🇩🇪** ***Play, move, laugh – and speak German with confidence*** Recommended German Level: A2.2/ B1 No grammar drills. No pressure. Just speaking German. In this fun and interactive improv workshop, you’ll learn German by doing – through theater, improvisation games, and movement. You’ll engage your whole body, speak more freely, and stop overthinking every sentence. The focus is on real communication: reducing hesitation, responding spontaneously, and actively using the vocabulary you already have. Expect playful interaction, group energy, and a supportive atmosphere where mistakes are part of the process. No acting experience needed – just curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to move, play, and have fun while learning German. **What to expect:** • Improvisation & theater games • Movement, voice & body exercises • Lots of speaking in pairs and groups • A relaxed, supportive environment • Practical speaking practice in real-time situations **Your host** My name is Mira, and I have been working as a German teacher for over a decade. My Master’s thesis focused on *“Learning German through theater games.”* I teach German in integration and refugee courses at VHS Pankow and Friedrichshain, as well as in one-to-one lessons.

Berlin Sprachcafé. Learn and practise German easily (A1-A2)
Berlin Sprachcafé. Learn and practise German easily (A1-A2)
The Language Café is primarily aimed at people who are struggling with their mental health which can make it hard to go to regular courses. We want to create a safe space for everyone to learn and practise without pressure. Everyone is welcome! Please try to be on time so we can all get started together :) We mainly practise on a beginner/lower intermediate level and adapt to everyone's prior level of German. The Language Café will focus on teaching you the most important words and phrases and basic grammar in German. The content of the course is adapted to real life. (everyday life in Germany, dealing with authorities, etc.) We will cover different topics every week and you can join us anytime, since the topics do not necessarily build on each other. The Sprachcafé is for free. \*If you cannot make it please cancel your participation so someone else from the waiting list can join, thank you!\* \| \| \| \|
Право голоса и гражданство
Право голоса и гражданство
Чтобы голосовать на выборах в Германии, нужен немецкий паспорт. Не всем удается (или хочется) его получить. В результате [в стране живут около 5,3 миллиона человек](https://xn--wir-whlen-z2a.org), которые здесь уже давно работают, платят налоги, строят жизнь… но на политические решения влияют примерно никак. 35 лет назад Конституционный суд вынес решение, что [голосовать могут только представители немецкого народа](https://www.zeit.de/campus/2017-06/wahlrecht-deutschland-staatsangehoerigkeit/komplettansicht). Но с тех пор дискуссия всплывает снова и снова – считается, что, если отвязать право голоса от гражданства, это не только переформирует партийный ландшафт, но и усилит демократию и интеграцию. Хотя [практика показывает](https://meduza.io/feature/2018/05/28/v-sssr-ne-bylo-multikulturnosti-i-zdes-ne-budet): такие расчеты на демократический апгрейд срабатывают не всегда. *Дебатируем на русском языке* *в четверг 07.04, время: 19-21* 👉**Нужно ли дать право голоса иностранцам, которые постоянно живут в Германии и имеют ВНЖ?** (про другие дебаты мы пишем [тут](https://t.me/s/grosses_ohr))
Intro to Improv: Presence & Spontaneity
Intro to Improv: Presence & Spontaneity
Sundays, 13:00-15:30, May 10-June 28 Class Show: Sunday July 5 Prerequisites: none! ImprovWorks Berlin is excited to announce our next round of improv comedy courses! We truly believe that everyone can become confident and funny on stage. Over 8 weekly classes, we explore the principles of comedic improvisation primarily through short-form games. Together, we create a conscious, supportive space where we focus on becoming good listeners, making spontaneous choices, and working together as a team. We’ll empower each other with the “Freedom to Fail,” thereby unleashing our inner creativity. The concepts of presence, agreement, trust, commitment and support are fostered through large and small group exercises. We’ll also have a ton of fun and make new friends! In the end-of-class show, you’ll get to show off all you’ve learned to an invited audience of family and friends. Sundays, 13:00-15:30, May 10-June 28 Class Show: Sunday July 5 Spots are limited in these small classes, so sign up soon!

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://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!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. 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?" 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. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *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. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this 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 welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). 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. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **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. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

Columbus Arduino Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts (CARPE) (Check Location)
Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.
