**⭐ NOTE THE NEW LOCATION! ⭐** The Creative Code Jam is a monthly gathering of artists, makers, designers, illustrators, coders, musicians, performers, learners and anyone interested in the use of computing skills for artistic expression. The event is free and open to all, regardless of age, origin, gender or experience. The jam is an opportunity to meet likeminded people and get creative together in a relaxed and safe environment. Beginners and first-timers should feel especially welcome! WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? **Bring a laptop** and/or anything you’d like to work on, whether it’s a personal project, an experiment, or a skill you want to learn. You can come with friends or meet new people here. There’s no set agenda: some people code, some sketch ideas, some collaborate, and others just chat and get inspired. SCHEDULE Doors open at noon, then we’ll have quick introductions so everyone can share what they’re planning to work on. Note: arriving on time is the best way to hear what others are up to ;) Around 6 pm, we gather to share what we’ve worked on during the day. BEGINNERS WELCOME! If you’re new to creative coding, we'll be happy to help you get started, and you can find beginner-friendly resources at [creativecode.berlin/learn](http://creativecode.berlin/learn). THIS IS YOUR SPACE We do our best to create a welcoming environment for all people regardless of race, ethnicity, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, or genetics. People from group generally underrepresented in open-source, art, and technology fields are warmly encouraged to come by. And if you know someone who might enjoy this meetup but isn’t sure it’s for them, let them know they’ll be welcome!

Come along, grab a coffee, shut up, and write! We will do at least two sessions of each 45 minutes of writing and two breaks. We will start the first writing session at 11:15. **For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come**. We often have a large waiting list, and not updating your RSVP or not showing up if you do RSVP yes means that others miss out. We also ask that if you do change your RSVP, do it with reasonable notice. Thanks! We typically take over all of the cafe, but try to share tables if you can to allow space for other customers. If you are new, come and say hello, as we know that suddenly going quiet for 45 minutes and staring at that blank page can be intimidating when it's your first time. We have a lot of long-term regulars who will be happy to help you feel welcome. In between sessions, we have a Telegram chat: https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw For more information, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com/).

Welcome to **I WRITE**, a gentle space for anyone who wants to write—quietly, freely, and without judgement. We are a Berlin community of writers who gather together weekly to write, talk and recharge after a long week. Some of us journal, some write novels, some do academic writing, many people come without a project in mind and see where the inspiration flow takes them. This is a space to simply show up and write, a safe place to be yourself and to release all your layers onto the paper. There’s no set topic, no feedback circle, and no pressure. Just warm people, a calm atmosphere, and time dedicated to yourself. 🗓️ **Agenda:** * 14:30 - 15:00 **→** 30 min arriving, optional socialising (arrive early, meet other writers) * 15:00 - 16:00 **→** 1 hour of silent writing (headphones welcome, focus encouraged) * 16:00–16:30 **→** 30 mins break + optional chat or solo time (stay and chat or go celebrate the rest of your Saturday) * 16:30–17:30 → 1 more hour of silent writing (for those staying) * 17:30–18:00 → 30 mins of chat, and leaving 🎒 **Bring:** * Something to write with (laptop, notebook, phone, typewriter… anything goes) * Something to drink (there is no cafeteria, unfortunately) * Your current project or a blank page * Yourself, exactly as you are **👉 Responsibility:** * Our location is limited; thus, I am kindly asking you to RSVP only if you are willing to attend. **📍Location:** * We meet at **Heinrich Schulz Library in Charlottenburg**. In the library, go look for the Gruppenraum; I will be waiting for you there. Any trouble finding the room, I will come to meet you outside. * 🚇 U7 **Richard-Wagner-Platz** * 🚌 M45 Bus **U Richard-Wagner-Platz** **About me:** Hi, my name is Anastasia. I started this writing club back in May 2025. Since then, it has been hosted weekly at the Heinrich Schulz Library (who is kind enough to allow us to use this room for free). Over this time, I’ve been privileged to meet some of the most creative and kind minds in Berlin. And I would be happy if you joined us. Whether you're an experienced writer or just at the beginning of your journey, you're welcome. If you know how to hold a pen or how to type, there will always be a space for you. Let's write together!

This is a 3 phase meetup. You can come at any time. 1.) 6:30 -7:00 p.m.: Gathering at the meeting spot (see gmaps link!) 2.) 7:00 - 7:30 p.m.: Walk & Talk to the Kerb food court. 3.) 7:30 - 10:00 p.m.: Immerse conversations in the Kerb food court. 🪑: Reserved tables for the meetup. 💸: 20 % discount for the drinks if we are at least 15 people! **1.)

We meet on the 1st floor where the trash sculpture can be seen. Look for a meetup sign or organizer wearing a black or red lanyard with "staff" written on it. **2.) Walk & Talk to the Kerb food court** The best part. In order to extend the walk we'll stroll all the way to Brandenburger gate and from there to the former Sony Center where we are going to enter the Kerb food court. **3\.

The new flagship food court of Potsdamer Platz. Most likely we will be sitting upstairs on the first floor next to the bar (take the stairs to the left). ***Best ways to get there:*** 1\. U2 \(subway\): Get off at Potsdamer Platz and walk around 7 min to Kerb. 2\. Bus M41 or M85 Get off at Potsdamer Platz and walk 5 min to Kerb. *Who is this meetup for:* 1\. Asians who want to practice German and/or English\. 2\. German speaking individuals who are studying \(preferably\) Japanese\, Korean\, Mandarin or Cantonese\. 3\. Anyone who is interested in cultural exchange and wants to socialize\. *What you can expect:* 1\. A professionally organized meetup that can adapt to any changes given the current situation\. 2\. A collaborating venue where you can further socialize with other members\. *important: This event is held at the same time and meeting location like the "Networking & Language Exchange - 🍖international🍻" one. So I'm basically organizing 2 events at the same time which means that you can expect way more people than on the list.* *** Whenever you attend a meetup, the most common as well as first question you get is: "Where are you from?" You probably heard this question a million times. Well, at least I did. From my own experience of attending over 200 international meetups in various countries such as Germany, Japan, Australia and Thailand, I can tell you that asking for the name is a better approach. “A person’s name is to that person, the sweetest, most important sound in any language.” - Dale Carnegie If you really want to connect with like-minded people you should remember their name, but you don't have to remember every persons name you've talked you. Be picky about that, don't be me who can somehow remember everyones name easily. Don't tell yourself sth. like "I'm bad at remembering names." It's all about developing the habit of asking for a name and keep the conversation going on. Furthermore, you want to learn German or any other language. Learning the local language is crucial to connect with the locals and developing a true friendship. This can be accomplished with immersion. My goal is to inspire you to go out of your comfort zone and improve yourself each time you join this meetup.

**Conflict to Connection: A Queer Zine workshop** with Sará Král event for **LGBTQIA+** **[Free event with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/zine-workshop/w03-2026)** To conclude the Conflict & Resilience project, we invite all participants from Radical Empathy — Queer Storytelling, the working group Conflicts as Opportunities, and anyone interested to come together and create a conflictual zine. This workshop has a hands-on, collective, and experimental character. Queer lives are shaped by tension – between belonging and exclusion, visibility and erasure, intimacy and distance. Instead of smoothing over these contradictions, we want to make them visible and work with their energy. Conflicts become starting points for creativity, connection, and shared learning. Together, we’ll create a zine that captures our experiences, questions, and frictions. Words, texts, fragments, collages, drawings, or notes – everything can find its place in this collective process. We’ll exchange ideas, tell stories, and weave individual voices into a shared expression. It’s going to be a collective zine – each participant will make a certain number of pages with their contribution. Zine-making is more than an artistic practice – it’s an act of self-empowerment and community building. By sharing our stories, we create space for diversity, contradiction, and mutual inspiration. Open to all ages and backgrounds – whether you’re making a zine for the first time or already have experience. Bring your ideas, your questions, and your conflicts – and let’s turn them into something new, together. Participants are invited to prepare a small contribution for the zine — such as a conflict story, poem or crossword — and bring any visual materials (magazines, stickers, cut-outs, photos) to support it **General information** **Participant**: this workshop series is open to LGBTQIA+ people. **Language**: Depending on the group’s needs, sessions will be held in German and/or English. **Cost**: Free of charge, registration required. 🔵 Zum Abschluss des Projekts Konflikt & Resilienz laden wir alle Teilnehmenden von Radical Empathy — Queer Storytelling, die Arbeitsgruppe „Konflikte als Chance“ sowie alle Interessierten ein, gemeinsam ein konfliktvolles Zine zu gestalten. Der Workshop hat Werkstattcharakter: offen, experimentell und kollektiv. Queere Lebensrealitäten sind von Spannungen geprägt – zwischen Zugehörigkeit und Ausschluss, Sichtbarkeit und Auslöschung, Intimität und Fremdheit. Statt diese Gegensätze zu glätten, wollen wir sie sichtbar machen und ihre Energie nutzen. Konflikte werden zu Ausgangspunkten für Kreativität, Verbindung und gemeinsames Lernen. Gemeinsam erschaffen wir ein Zine, das unsere Erfahrungen, Fragen und Reibungen einfängt. Worte, Texte, Wortfetzen, Collagen, Zeichnungen oder Notizen – alles kann Teil dieses kollektiven Prozesses werden. Wir werden Ideen austauschen, Geschichten erzählen und individuelle Stimmen zu einem gemeinsamen Ausdruck verweben. Es wird ein gemeinsames Zine werden – jeder Teilnehmende wird eine bestimmte Anzahl von Seiten gestalten. Zine-Making ist dabei mehr als Kunst: Es ist ein Akt der Selbstermächtigung und des Community-Buildings. Indem wir unsere Geschichten teilen, schaffen wir Raum für Vielfalt, Widerspruch und gegenseitige Inspiration. *Offen für alle Altersgruppen und Hintergründe – ob du zum ersten Mal ein Zine machst oder schon Erfahrung mitbringst. Komm, bring deine Ideen, deine Fragen und deine Konflikte mit – und lass uns gemeinsam daraus etwas Neues entstehen. Die Teilnehmenden können einen kleinen Beitrag für das Zine vorbereiten und passendes persönliches Material wie Zeitschriften, Sticker oder Fotos mitbringen.* **Hinweise** **Teilnehmende:** Die Reihe richtet sich an queere Menschen (LGBTQIA+). **Sprache:** Je nach Bedürfnissen der Gruppe auf Deutsch und/oder Englisch\*\*.\*\* **Kosten:** kostenlos mit Anmeldung. **Mit Unterstützung der Senatsverwaltung für Inneres und Sport – Landeskommission Berlin gegen Gewalt**

Stell dir vor, die kritische Stimme in deinem Kopf, die dir einredet, du seist nicht gut genug oder könntest deine Träume nicht verwirklichen, verstummt. Dies geschieht auf wunderbare Weise durch das sanfte Berühren der Access Bars®-Punkte an deinem Kopf. Die Anwendung der Bars® hat positive Auswirkungen auf nahezu alle Bereiche deines Lebens: von Körper und Beziehungen über Sexualität, Heilung und der Manifestation von Geld bis hin zur Lebensfreude, Kommunikationsfähigkeit und Kreativität. Limitierende Glaubenssätze werden auf sanfte Art und Weise aufgelöst, negative Emotionen in Kraft verwandelt. Die Wirksamkeit der Access Bars® bei Ängsten, Depressionen, ADHS und anderen psychosomatischen Symptomen ist wissenschaftlich belegt! Du hast die Möglichkeit, die Access Bars bei dir selbst, deinen Liebsten und sogar bei Klienten anzuwenden. Möchtest du herausfinden, welche weiteren Veränderungen die Access Bars bewirken können? Welche wertvolle Toolbox für Transformation du nach diesem Kurstag mit nach Hause nimmst, erfährst du auf meiner Website: https://www.i-feel-so-good.de/access-consciousness/kurse-ausbildungen/access-bars-kurs.html Bitte beachte, dass die Kursanmeldung ausschließlich telefonisch möglich ist. Bei unseren Kennenlerntreffen hast du die Gelegenheit, eine Session zu genießen und dich mit Praktizierenden auszutauschen. Wenn du ein sehr persönliches Thema in der Tiefe bearbeiten möchtest, lade ich dich ein, eine Einzelsession zu vereinbaren.

Join us for another session of our study group as we dive into the fascinating world of Large Language Models (LLMs) using the book **Build a Large Language Model from Scratch** from Manning. In this session, we will finish **Chapter 7: Fine-tuning to follow instructions**. In the last session, we talked about how to prepare the dataset for instruction fine-tuning and in this session we will perform the fine-tuning and evaluate the model afterwards. This isn't just a lecture! Come ready to ask questions, share insights, and code along. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, this is the perfect opportunity to build a strong foundation together. If you plan to work with the code on your own laptop during the session, try and set-up the environment ahead of time (https://github.com/rasbt/LLMs-from-scratch/tree/main/setup). We will be meeting at the North County Governmental Center this time that is across from the Reston public library.

NOVA Code and Coffee is an inclusive, informal, co-working session. People of all skill levels are invited. The concept is simple, bring a laptop and ideas, we'll provide the coffee and donuts! Here's how it works: 1. At 10:15 everyone introduces themselves and briefly describes what brought them to Code & Coffee today (project, homework, networking, etc) 2. For the rest of the day, folks work in the communal space on their projects providing one another help and conversation as needed. Oh and they usually drink coffee and tea too! That's it! Hope to see you there! **Location** Our hosts are the Fairfax City Economic Development Building: [10300 Eaton Pl, Fairfax, VA 22030](https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=d7298231ca2df594df822003f9a93517c788fceefe1fcbb79c8976696e341bc6JmltdHM9MTc1MzIyODgwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=180d0745-3b7f-69a1-23a2-11433a7868e5&u=a1L21hcHM_Jm1lcGk9MTA5fn5Ub3BPZlBhZ2V-QWRkcmVzc19MaW5rJnR5PTE4JnE9RmFpcmZheCUyMENpdHklMjBFY29ub21pYyUyMERldmVsb3BtZW50JnNzPXlwaWQuWU44NzN4ODI4MTk2Mjg0NTk5MDM4MTU0MiZwcG9pcz0zOC44NjE0NDYzODA2MTUyMzRfLTc3LjMwMjE3NzQyOTE5OTIyX0ZhaXJmYXglMjBDaXR5JTIwRWNvbm9taWMlMjBEZXZlbG9wbWVudF9ZTjg3M3g4MjgxOTYyODQ1OTkwMzgxNTQyfiZjcD0zOC44NjE0NDZ-LTc3LjMwMjE3NyZ2PTImc1Y9MSZGT1JNPU1QU1JQTA&ntb=1) Conference Room A- Large, Floor 1 This is a new venue for us, so give us some time to get more details about it.
