**The event will take place at 15:00 local Sarajevo time. (You may see an incorrect time in the Meetup app due to timezone setting issues.)** \*\*\* **HOW TO FIND US** We're meeting at Talks & Giggles café/confectionery on Sunday at 15:00 (Sarajevo local time). If the weather is nice, you'll find us sitting outside. Location below: Hamdije Kreševljakovića 61 https://maps.app.goo.gl/t73F8ocdxNKnxkBH7 VC4G+J6 Sarajewo \*\*\* **HOW IT WORKS** At each meetup, participants take turns posing for a quick 10-minute sketch session. One person poses, everyone else sketches, then we rotate. There are no fees and no pressure (**just please order something from the café**). The only thing we ask is that everyone takes a turn posing for the group. Sit however you’re comfortable — those 10 minutes fly by! Draw as much as you like, skip a round if you’d rather rest or chat, and stay for as long as it suits you. The session goes on as long as people are enjoying themselves. \*\*\* **WHAT TO BRING** Pencils and paper (or any sketching tools you prefer). \*\*\* **STAYING CONNECTED** We have a WhatsApp group for staying in touch and sharing updates. Ask the organizer to add you to the WhatsApp group during the meetup.

We meet in the Liberation Park https://maps.app.goo.gl/rTfzrhYED3gQGGEb8?g_st=ic Starting at 13:00, staying as long as people will enjoy making crafts together. Please join the event and let the organizer know what time you plan to arrive (so we can ensure everyone interested in joining found us). This group is for people who enjoy hands-on projects and spending time outdoors. Whether you’re into bushcraft, camping, kayaking, or simply being in nature, it’s a place to repair, customize, and create the gear you use on your adventures. Bring any project you like - big or small. That could mean fixing a leaking sleeping pad, patching up a packraft, reinforcing your backpack, sewing extra pockets, or maintaining your gear so it lasts longer. It can also be more creative: sketching in a travel journal, carving, sculpting, or working on portable crafts you enjoy bringing into nature. The goal is simple: meet up, share ideas and skills, and enjoy making and repairing together in a relaxed, welcoming environment. You don’t need to be highly experienced in outdoor activities or travel to join, the group is open to everyone. **Although the focus of the group is on outdoor sports, travel, and nature expeditions, you’re absolutely welcome to join even if the projects or crafts you work on are completely unrelated. Sometimes you just want company, conversation, and a relaxed space to work on your own ideas alongside other people.** Feel free to bring any extra materials, tools, or gear you no longer need - they might find a second life with another participant. This initiative is part of a larger creative and social project - Sketchy Collective. We’re just getting started, experimenting with different meetup formats and creative projects. We’d love for you to follow along for future events, and share your own ideas for meetups or activities you’d like to see us organize. instagram.com/sketchy.collective facebook.com/sketchy.collective meetup.com/sketchy-collective-international

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
