How to Successfully Communicate
Description: Join us for an engaging and interactive lecture that explores the art of in-person communication and its profound impact on our personal and professional lives. In this dynamic session, we will delve into the essential skills, strategies, and insights necessary to navigate face-to-face interactions with confidence and effectiveness.
In an increasingly digital age, the ability to connect with others in person remains a cornerstone of successful relationships, collaborations, and personal growth. This lecture aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the key elements that contribute to effective in-person communication.
During this enlightening session, we will cover the following topics:
1. Active Listening: Listening is a fundamental aspect of communication, yet it is often overlooked. We will explore the art of active listening, which involves attentive focus, empathy, and understanding. Participants will learn practical techniques to enhance their listening skills and foster deeper connections.
2. Non-Verbal Communication: Body language, facial expressions, and gestures play a crucial role in conveying messages and establishing rapport. We will examine the nuances of non-verbal communication and offer insights into how to utilize it effectively to enhance understanding and build trust.
3. Verbal Communication: From articulating ideas clearly to adapting communication styles to suit different audiences, we will explore the components of effective verbal communication. Participants will gain practical tips on expressing themselves confidently, persuasively, and with clarity.
4. Emotional Intelligence: Understanding and managing emotions is paramount in establishing meaningful connections. We will delve into the concept of emotional intelligence, equipping participants with strategies to recognize and regulate their own emotions while empathizing with others.
5. Conflict Resolution: Conflicts are an inevitable part of human interactions. We will discuss techniques for navigating conflicts in a constructive and respectful manner, fostering cooperation, and finding mutually beneficial solutions.
6. Building Rapport and Connection: Creating a genuine connection is essential for fostering trust and collaboration. We will explore strategies for building rapport, including building common ground, demonstrating empathy, and creating a positive and supportive atmosphere.
7. Overcoming Communication Barriers: Language barriers, cultural differences, and diverse perspectives can pose challenges in communication. We will provide insights into overcoming these barriers, fostering inclusivity, and promoting effective cross-cultural communication.
Through interactive exercises, role-playing, and real-life examples, participants will have the opportunity to practice and refine their in-person communication skills. They will leave the lecture with increased self-awareness, enhanced interpersonal skills, and the confidence to engage in meaningful, impactful conversations.
Note: This lecture is open to individuals from all walks of life, including professionals, students, and anyone interested in improving their in-person communication skills. No prior experience or expertise is required. Join us for an engaging session that will transform your ability to connect, collaborate, and thrive in face-to-face interactions.

Discover cyanotype, a photographic printing process, in this hands-on workshop where Nature becomes your co-author
Slow down, step outside, and perhaps take a walk through the local *Lee Valley* — exploring *Bow Creek Ecology Park*and *East India Dock Basin* between Canary Wharf and Trinity Buoy Wharf — for a little birdwatching and inspiration from the natural world.
Breathe deeply, listen to the river, and enjoy the calm energy that comes from spending time outdoors. Walking in nature can help quiet the mind, restore focus, and reconnect us with the rhythms of the natural world.
Notice the delicate shapes, textures, and shadows that Nature creates, and transform them into your own cyanotype prints.
Then come to *BE Ka Art Studio*, Elena's riverside atelier in *Trinity Buoy Wharf*, for a relaxing cynotype session. In this hands-on workshop, you'll discover cyanotype. This photographic printing process uses sunlight, water, and natural materials to create stunning one-of-a-kind artworks in deep luminous blue.
Using botanicals, shells, feathers, and found objects, you'll compose your own prints and watch them develop in real time. No cameras, screens, or prior experience needed.
You'll leave with your own original cyanotype artworks.
## Nature & Back to Gaia
These workshops are dedicated to Nature and *Back to Gaia – A Copyright for Nature* 👉 *[https://www.backtogaia.org](https://www.backtogaia.org)*
The founder of the project will present during the events, sharing the vision behind the initiative and its work protecting the natural world.
10% of every ticket will be donated to the charity and invested in projects that support and protect Nature.
## What You’ll Do
* Arrange botanicals and natural objects to compose your own cyanotype prints
* Add a personal touch with wooden letters, drawings, or handwritten details
* Expose your work in sunlight — or UV light if the weather is cloudy
* Develop your prints in water and watch the images appear
## What’s Included
Everything is provided, including:
* A5 coated paper sheet in your choice of colour
* Acrylic film
* Botanicals, feathers, shells, and natural materials *(feel free to bring your own if you'd like)*
* Small wooden craft letters
* Trays and all cyanotype materials
Just bring your curiosity.
Additional paper in different colours and sizes will be available to purchase on the day, along with acetate sheets and markers to customise your creations even further.

* Relaxed and creative atmosphere
* Children must be accompanied by an adult
* Step-free access available
#### **Please Bring**

## **📍Location – Trinity Buoy Wharf, London** E14 0FP

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders…
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords…
IMPORTANT:
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
Creativity Circle: Simple Sun Catchers
Want to see your work shine and put your pride on display? Then come to July's Creativity Circle! We will be making simple Suncatchers with tissue paper! Seats and supplies limited! Come while you can for as long as you like! Westerville Public Library in Meeting Room D.
Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. 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.
