#This meetup is around a third-party organizer (Focus Filmtheater): you can either purchase your ticket online or right before the session# **Title**: The Secret Agent **Language**: Portuguese **Subtitles**: English **Length**: 158 min **Director**: Kleber Mendonça Filho **More info**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/agenda/english-subs-the-secret-agent/ **Ticket link**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/tickets/141175/ **Synopsis**: *The Secret Agent* is a tense political thriller from director Kleber Mendonça Filho (Bacurau, Aquarius), who brings a tumultuous period in Brazilian history to life in his latest work. Through various storylines, he depicts a country entangled in violence, corruption, and vendettas, a turbulent 1970s carefully constructed from his own memories, family histories, and archival material. Brazil, 1977. Marcelo, a technology expert and widower, is on the run. As the military dictatorship continues to enforce increasingly cruel measures on the population, he arrives in Recife, where he hopes to reunite with his young son. There, during carnival week, he finds shelter with a group of like-minded people and assumes a false identity. But Marcelo’s situation is trickier than he realizes: he soon discovers that the city is far from the peaceful refuge he is looking for. With a mix of film styles—suspense, humor, and even a touch of horror—*The Secret Agent* isn’t just a gripping movie, but also a snapshot of our times, in which the highly acclaimed Mendonça Filho offers a keen analysis of Brazil’s past and present. The international film community also recognises that *The Secret Agent* gets under your skin: it was the most awarded film at Cannes (Best Director, Best Actor), ended up on many ‘best of’ lists and is still in the running for several Oscar categories, partly because of the phenomenal acting of lead actor Wagner Moura. **How it works**: I will be at Focus around 18:30, where we can meet before the movie starts. You can message me to find us. Screening starts at 19:00. After the movie, we can have a drink together. Hope to see you soon!

De kerstdiners zijn geweest, de oliebollen zijn op en het werkritme is weer gevonden. Kortom, tijd voor de eerste MeetUp van het jaar. Zoals altijd georganiseerd door deTesters, TestCoders en TechChamps, in ons kantoor in de Werkspoorkathedraal in Utrecht. En zoals je van ons gewend bent, beginnen we niet rustig. We starten met een onderwerp dat direct aan je manier van denken en werken gaat schudden. **WORKSHOP AI: Wat als code schrijven niet meer jouw werk is?** De meeste developers gebruiken AI als een fancy autocomplete. Copy-paste uit ChatGPT. Misschien Copilot in je editor. Spoiler: dat is Level 1 van 6. The Ai-Team - Jeroen Gordijn en Jeroen Dee - nemen je mee naar de top van de AI Coding Ladder. Waar je niet meer codeert, maar orkestreert. Waar AI-agents zelfstandig debuggen, testen en implementeren. Waar jij de architect bent en AI het bouwteam. Dit is geen workshop over tools. Dit is een workshop over hoe je *brein moet herprogrammeren*. Over waarom je huidige manier van werken binnenkort ouderwets is. Over agentic development met concepten als memory files, skills, en sub-agents die samenwerken. **Wat kun je verwachten?** * De AI Coding Ladder: van copy-paste amateur tot Agentic Architect * Waarom AI geen tool is, maar een transformatie van hoe je werkt * Hands-on met agentic development concepten: * Memory bestanden (AGENTS.md) die je AI context en geheugen geven * skills die gedrag voorspelbaar en herhaalbaar maken * Sub-agents die complexe taken autonoom oppakken **Waarom meedoen?** * Je wilt verder komen dan "even ChatGPT vragen" * Je wilt begrijpen hoe agentic workflows écht werken * Je bent klaar om je manier van werken fundamenteel te veranderen * Je wilt nu instappen, voordat je achterloopt * Je staat open om je brein opnieuw te programmeren **The Ai-Team** **Jeroen Gordijn** Software engineer met 20 jaar ervaring in het bouwen van schaalbare systemen. Van bol.com en DHL tot Port of Rotterdam en Ahold Delhaize. Altijd met één been in de architectuur en het andere in de code. Het laatste jaar volledig overgestapt naar AI Driven Development. Van nieuwsgierig experimenteren naar dagelijks inzetten in productie. Deelt nu wat hij geleerd heeft: hoe je AI écht laat werken. **Jeroen Dee** AI Shepherd met 20 jaar ervaring in software development. Van support engineer tot Lead Quality Engineer bij organisaties als Funda, Wehkamp, Videoland en het Ministerie van Justitie. Het laatste jaar volledig ondergedompeld in AI Driven Development en een transitie gemaakt van scepticus naar evangelist. Deelt nu de lessen uit de praktijk: wat werkt, wat niet, en hoe je je brein herprogrammeert. In de periode 2019 tot 2020 werkte hij voor deTesters en is hij sindsdien nooit echt weggeweest. Nog steeds een "vriend-van-de-show". **Doelgroep** * QA Engineers en developers die willen begrijpen waar AI Driven Development naartoe gaat en hoe ze daar nu al kunnen komen. * deze avond is volledig in het Nederlands **\*Dutch spoken\*** **Pre-conditie voor deelname** Deze workshop werkt alleen als iedereen zelf actief met AI aan de slag kan. Daarom is een **eigen abonnement op een van de genoemde AI modellen verplicht. Wij faciliteren geen accounts, abonnementen of tijdelijke toegang.** Zorg dat je vooraf bent ingelogd en dat alles werkt. Om goed voorbereid mee te kunnen doen, vragen we je rekening te houden met het volgende: * Een technische achtergrond is een must * Je hebt een terminal waar je bekend mee bent * Je beschikt over een **eigen abonnement** op een van de foundational modellen, zoals OpenAI Plus, Anthropic Claude Pro Max, GitHub Copilot of Google Gemini * Je gebruikt OpenCode als agentic AI tool https://opencode.ai en bent daar ingelogd met een van bovenstaande model aanbieders * Je bedenkt vooraf iets dat je voor jezelf wilt maken en houdt de scope bewust beperkt * Je bent nieuwsgierig en bereid om je manier van werken kritisch te bekijken **Programma** 17:30 Ontvangst en eten 18:30 De workshop: Agentic Development in actie (mix: presentatie en praktisch) 20:30 Q&A 21:00 Afsluiting met een borrel

We’re heading into the heart of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug for a beautiful loop hike starting and ending at station Driebergen Zeist. From the station we quickly enter the wide open heather fields of Groote Heidestein, with heather fields, sandy paths, and a wonderfull spacious feeling. We follow these open landscapes all the way to the forests surrounding the Pyramid of Austerlitz. After about 10 kilometers we take a well deserved break at the pyramid. You can grab a snack or drink there, or enjoy your own packed lunch. This is the area where the famous wolf Bram once roamed and made the news. The situation has since settled, so the coast is clear again, but it adds a touch of wild history to the landscape. From here we loop back towards Driebergen Zeist through landgoed Heidestein. This section is full of surprises, including narrow passages and small tunnels that make the walk feel playful and slightly adventurous. We finish back at station Driebergen Zeist, completing a varied and scenic hike through one of the most beautiful parts of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. **📍When and where to meet?** We’ll meet at 10h30 under the tracks of train station Driebergen Zeist. https://maps.app.goo.gl/JdRccArNqxzvFb6U8 ⏰ We **start walking a few minutes after meeting up** — we don’t wait for latecomers, as the forest calls and daylight is short this time of year. **🚗 Coming by car?** You can park here but please also do your own research: https://maps.app.goo.gl/WSMa4XaaP7U5awwf8 **⏸️ Planned Breaks** After 10 km: Lunch break at Pyramid of Austerlitz (Speeltuin & Restaurant) https://maps.app.goo.gl/XKazfvaa24VvWrq66 **💸 Payment** Please pay as soon as you sign up: To keep things fair for everyone, if we don’t receive your payment within 48 hours, we will need to remove you from the participant list. If there’s a waiting list, this will happen sooner (in less than 48 hours). If that happens, no worries — you’re always welcome to sign up again if there’s space. 🌟 Early Bird Deal! Join now for just €4 — available for 3 days (72h). After that, the price will be €5. The event is full, so the payment link has been removed. **👟 Good to know** * Refund policy: Cancellations are fully refundable up to 1 week before the event (This is Friday 13 January at 23h59). After this period, the fee becomes non-refundable. * Hike difficulty: Our hikes are moderately challenging.

We’ll give you clear directions to the nearest bus or train so you can return comfortably. * At your own risk: You participate at your own risk, so please make sure you have appropriate insurance coverage for outdoor activities. * Payment note: With Tikkie we only see initials (e.g., J.

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!
