Hello Human Connect!
*“Evenemanget hålls på engelska men du är välkommen att prata svenska om du vill. Alla är välkomna.”*

It's getting real all around you huh? We have always had to rely on each other when systems fail. Digitialisation and the internet helps us to see what is happening around us. Meeting in community, in the real world, is how we survive and break out of the echo chambers which are dividing us.
Let's move from doing things alone to sharing the load together.
Let's move from thinking care is earned to knowing care is a right.
Let's move from always competing to surviving and thriving.
Isolation only protects harmful systems while connection weakens them.
You were never meant to do any of this alone.
Come. It's a small but powerful action.
## Agenda
17h35: Introductions
17h45: Discussion topic intro: Community care is a practice. How do we show up for each other?

### **About Hello Human Connect:**
There is massive “unlearning” of biases that has to happen for us all to move forward to a place where we can all call each other human beings and not by other labels.
Speaking to each other honestly and without judgement can be so powerful.
What is happening in the world makes me sad. A lot of it has to do with the many “us vs them” events that takes place on this rock hurtling through space.
So I invite all you beautiful humans to come and co-create together, for all of us.
The event is a dialogue based event where people can come to discuss their “-isms” from a place of wanting to understand and unlearn. ie. “why is it racist if I say this…”, “I don’t understand how to be an ally to women or minorities”, “how do I deal with people who want me to use different pronouns”, etc.
Deep and potentially hot topics but we have a [safe space](https://www.hellohuman.online/eq/how-to-create-a-safe-space/?utm_source=meetup-sss&utm_medium=social&utm_term=&utm_content=hhc6&utm_campaign=events) for people like you who want to take and be the first step of change in their own lives and make friends beyond their regular homogeneous groups.
Watching the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu go through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission talks when apartheid ended in South Africa makes me believe that there is something powerful in dialogue and forgiveness.
So Hello Human Connect is a mix of two concepts:
1. **“Ubuntu”** – a concept in which your sense of self is shaped by your relationships with other people. It’s a way of living that begins with the premise that “I am” only because “we are.”
2. **Kintsugi** – the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. The beauty of the repaired object incorporates the fact that it was previously broken. The idea being that the dialogue and understanding is the golden bond that reunites all the splintered labels and definitions of self into a functioning beautiful whole again.
So come to connect, share, learn, eat a snack and meet some fantastic humans IRL(in real life)!
Come, it is a small but powerful action you can take to be part of the change you want to see in the world.
See you there.

Journey into Self - Monthly Group
Journey Into Self is a path to deeper integration. This is a closed, ongoing group meeting once a month.
We will move through five archetypal stages of inner work:
🔥 The Innocent – represents the core of who we are, our purest Self that exists before anything else. This is the part of us that is untainted by the world, embodying our true nature, innocence, and purity. In this stage, we connect with our intrinsic worth and the fundamental qualities that define our being. Here, we rediscover and embrace our authentic self, often buried under layers of conditioning and social expectations.
🌑 The Shadow – refers to the parts of ourselves that we have suppressed or denied. This includes our fears, wounds, and shadow aspects that reside in our unconscious. Confronting and integrating these hidden parts is essential for healing and wholeness. This stage involves facing our inner darkness, understanding its origins, and transforming it into a source of strength and wisdom. We are bringing light to the shadow and reclaiming disowned parts of ourselves.
🌿 The Wild – symbolizes our primal nature and connection to the physical body and natural world. Here we embrace our instincts, passions, and the raw energy that drives us. It is the encouragement to live fully in our bodies, experiencing life through our senses. This stage is about grounding ourselves, reconnecting with our wildness, and honoring the wisdom that comes from our embodied experience.
🐦🔥The Phoenix – represents transformation and rebirth. The dragon symbolizes clarity and inner wisdom. Its purpose is to strip away illusions, allowing us to confront the truths about ourselves. The phoenix, on the other hand, signifies the cycle of death and rebirth, the process of rising from the ashes renewed and transformed. This stage involves profound personal growth, shedding old identities, and emerging more authentic. It’s about continually evolving at our own pace
✨ The Magus – embodies mastery and wisdom. The Magus is the wise one, the alchemist who has learned to integrate and harmonize aspects of the self. This stage is about realizing our potential, using our knowledge and skills to create and influence our reality. It’s about living with purpose, authenticity, and a deep connection to the greater whole. The Magus is the meeting point of perceived opposites, we embrace ourselves as both good and bad, light and dark, masculine and feminine. The Magus represents the wholeness.
👑What Will You Get:
1. Deep Personal Growth: Gain clarity about your true self and uncover hidden patterns.
2. Healing and Integration: Address and accept suppressed emotions and wounded aspects.
3. Authenticity: Embrace your light and shadow without judgment to live fully as you are.
4. Empowerment: Learn to harness your inner wisdom and take charge of your life.
5. Community Support: Experience connection and shared growth.
6. Mind-Body Connection: Reconnect with your instincts, passions, and inner being.
7. Guided Personal Processes: Receive tailored guidance to uncover hidden patterns and support personal breakthroughs.
8. Transformation: Emerge with greater resilience, purpose, and self-awareness.
9. Trauma-Informed Practices: Techniques for reconnecting with the body to improve clarity, reduce stress, and promote emotional regulation.
✨This isn’t surface-level work.
We will go deep with a small, intimate group that will hold space for your growth and transformation.
You’ll be seen, supported, and guided every step of the way. Together, we will explore what’s hidden and bring it into the light so you can show up as the fullest version of yourself.

Web Standards Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
USA versus China, wars, tech, ai and underlying philosophy of meaning and life..
**Wars, AI, Civilizations, and Competing Visions of Life...**
We’re entering an era defined by a single, uneasy question: *who shapes the future of the world?* The rivalry between the United States and China is no longer just about trade or territory. It’s about technology, artificial intelligence, power—and, beneath it all, very different ideas about what a good life and a good society actually are.
This is not a military briefing or a policy debate. It’s a philosophical conversation about what this global confrontation really means for humanity.
***
**Topics we’ll touch on:**
* Is this a new Cold War—or something fundamentally different?
* AI as a strategic weapon: dominance, surveillance, autonomy, and control
* Freedom vs stability: individual rights or collective order?
* Can technology replace ideology—or does it secretly *become* ideology?
* Is war becoming more likely, or just more invisible?
* What do these two worldviews say about human nature, meaning, and purpose?
* And ultimately… what kind of future are we drifting toward—and which one do we *want*?
Casual discussion. No expertise required. Just curiosity, reflection, and a willingness to think beyond headlines and slogans. Whether you feel anxious, fascinated, skeptical, or conflicted—you’re not alone.
Let’s look past the superpowers—and ask what kind of world they are quietly building for all of us.
Board Games at Bastard Café
It is Sunday again! So it is time for us to gather at Bastard Cafe playing games, enjoying a good drink, and having fun in the lovely atmosphere of the Cafe. Everybody is welcome, whether you are new to board games or you are an experienced player. We play everything from Codenames, Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, The Resistance, Secret Hitler to more medium-long games like Terraforming Mars, Pandemic, Power Grid, 7 Wonders and Catan. You are welcome to come and play for a few hours or even stay longer if you feel like it! So girls and guys, come and join us for fun and games at Bastard Cafe! :D
**FAQ**
**Q**: *How can I find you?*
**A**: Sometimes we got white flags saying 'Meetup' on the tables, and at other times we simply write the table number in the comment sections. But if you have any trouble finding us you are always welcome to write (chat or comment) and we will gently guide you to our table! :)
**Q**: *What language do you speak?*
**A**: Since our group is a mix of natives and internationals we primarily speak English.
**Q**: *What games do you play?*
**A**: All sorts of games! Social deduction games, strategy games, deckbuilding games, dice games, card games, dexterity games, you name it! If there is any game you want to play feel free to put a comment below, or bring it to the table to see if people are interested!
**Q**: *For how long do you play?*
**A**: As long as people want. We don't have a minimum or maximum time. The timer set from 1:30 pm to 8 pm are merely guiding times. Some leave after a few hours, others play until the cafe close...xD
**Q**: *I am going to be 15 minutes late, can I still show up?*
**A**: Of course! You are always welcome! Just be aware that people might have already started games if you show up a bit later.
**Q**: *What is the average age in the group?*
**A**: In general, we are a very mixed age-group but most people are probably in their 20's and 30's. Though by default, anyone no matter the age, gender, or otherwise, is welcome!
**Q**: How does visiting the cafe work?
**A**: A membership of the cafe cost 150 dkk a year and gives you access to all their games. Else you need a day ticket costing 30 dkk to play all games. There are also free games, but it is required you buy at least one drink from the bar to play them.

**Hi everyone** 👋
I’m David, and I’d love to start a social bouldering club for anyone who wants to climb, hang out, and meet new people!
I will arrange a meetup climbing event once a month, at different climbing gyms around the city.
The focus is on:
• 🧗♂️ Climbing and challenging ourselves
• 🤝 Being social and building a fun community
• 💪 Training together – all levels welcome
I’ve been climbing for about 1.5 years, so I’m still in my learning phase, but I’m more than happy to help beginners get started and share the basics with anyone who’s new.
How to find me, I will be the one in all orange :D.
We will start at **Beta Boulders in Vanløse the 25 February @ 14.00** o’clock
There will be a warm up and cool down, focusing on climbing and mobility. If you want to join in on that, otherwise drop in when ever.
If you’re interested in joining, just drop a comment.
Looking forward to climbing with you all! 🙌
**Short Overview of Boulder Gyms in Copenhagen and bouldering is:**
**Beta Boulders**
A modern and friendly gym with lots of different wall styles. Great for both beginners and experienced climbers, and there’s a nice training area as well.
**Bison Boulders**
Located a bit outside the city, but very relaxed and welcoming. Good variety of routes and plenty of space. A calm, nice atmosphere.
**Boulders CPH**
One of the biggest and most popular bouldering gyms in Copenhagen. Many routes for all levels and a very social environment.
**What Is Bouldering?**
Bouldering is a type of climbing done at low heights — usually up to around 4–5 meters — **without ropes or harnesses**. Instead, there are thick mats on the floor for safety.
You only need climbing shoes, which you can rent, and maybe some chalk for your hands.
Climbs are short “problems” or routes that you try to solve using balance, technique, and strength. Some are easy, some are challenging, and you can always choose the level that fits you.
Bouldering is also very social — people often help each other, share tips, cheer each other on, and have fun together. It’s perfect for meeting new people while getting a good workout.
Copenhagen Global Hangout

Persuasion by Jane Austen
Thank you all for the fascinating talk on Saturday about Susanna Kaysen’s memoir, *Girl, Interrupted*. Rendezvous Bar, which we were visiting for the first time, was a great spot, but the loud music was a bit much. So, thank you all for your patience, and especially a big thank you to Elise for her wonderful and passionate introduction to the book she chose.
As usual, we voted on the next book to read at the end of the event. This time, the book that won was Jane Austen’s penultimate novel, *[Persuasion](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2156.Persuasion?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=5O4iyF5w8n&rank=2)*.
The novel was published posthumously six months after Austen’s death, at only 41 years old, in 1818. It tells the story of Anne Elliot, who, at a young age, was persuaded by friends and family to break off an engagement to Captain Wentworth. But was it the right decision? Luckily, the two meet again years later and have another chance at love and marriage.
You can read more about the book [here](https://time.com/7302901/jane-austen-persuasion-how-to-grow-up/). Read the book [here](https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/105). Or listen to the audiobook version [here](https://archive.org/details/persuasion_0905_librivox/persuasion_01_austen.mp3). There’s a movie version from 2022 starring Dakota Johnson available as well on [Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/dk/title/81410649). And several TV movies and TV shows, which are [more hard](https://www.imdb.com/find/?q=persuasion&ref_=tt_nv_srb_sm) to come by.
For other resources on how to get a hold of classic books, please see the About us section on the front page of the group [here](https://www.meetup.com/copenhagen-classic-book-book-club/?eventOrigin=home_groups_you_organize).
We meet up on Saturday, January 24th, at 4 p.m. The location will be new, but it’s just across the aisle from our last location. It’s called the Fireplace Lounge at 25hours Hotel in Pilestræde 65. The hostess has promised us that the music will be turned down, so we are looking forward to that.
Also, please remember to bring your suggestion for the next classic book to read. In February, we read books by women authors, so if you have a suggestion that fits that theme, please share it with us.
And, please, as always, be mindful and respectful of each other, so that everyone feels respected and appreciated.
In the meantime, happy reading/listening/watching or however you do it.

HTML5 Master Series (Class 04 of 04) (SPECIAL OFFERING)
**PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTES:**
1. The dates listed for this series are about 95% reliable. We are completing our 2026 schedule as we speak, so minor adjustments are still occurring.
2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee, though this first offering is free on a first-come, first-served basis.
3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity.
**Introduction:**
HTML5 is the foundational technology for modern web development, serving as the standard markup language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today.
One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences.
A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines. This emphasis on clear structure helps in creating more logical and maintainable websites.
Developing websites in today's competitive environment requires taking advantage of every technique you can to get the maximum exposure possible. Our HTML5 class will not only show you what's new in the HTML specification, but also the best way to develop optimized web pages that get the attention your client and/or company requires.
**The breakdown of the four-class series is as follows:**
**Class 1: Introduction to Web Structure and Basic HTML5**
This class introduces the core concepts of web development, the history of HTML, and the fundamental structure of an HTML5 document.
* **Topics**:

* **HTML Fundamentals**: Understanding elements, tags, and attributes.
* **Basic Document Structure**: Using !DOCTYPE html, html, head, and body.
* **Text Formatting**: Headings (h1 to h6), paragraphs (p), and text-level semantics (e.g., strong, em, br).
* **Lists and Links**: Creating ordered (ol) and unordered (ul) lists, and linking between pages using anchor tags (a).
* **Activity**: Students create a basic personal webpage containing text, a list of hobbies, and a link to an external website.
**Class 2: Semantic HTML5 and Multimedia Integration**
Class 2 focuses on modern HTML5 elements that provide meaning (semantics) to content, improving accessibility and search engine optimization. It also covers adding images and multimedia.
* **Topics**:
* **Semantic Elements**: Understanding and implementing elements like header, footer, nav, section, and article.
* **Images**: Adding images using the img tag and attributes like src, alt, width, and height.
* **Multimedia**: Embedding audio and video content using the audio and video tags.
* **File and Folder Structure**: Best practices for organizing project files and managing file paths.
* **Activity**: Students refactor their Class 1 project to use a proper semantic layout and add an image and a link to a video file.
**Class 3: Forms and User Input**
This session is dedicated to building interactive HTML5 forms, which are essential for capturing user data and input.
* **Topics**:
* **Form Basics**: Using the form element, action and method attributes.
* **Input Types**: Exploring various input types (e.g., text, password, checkbox, radio, date, submit).
* **Form Elements**: Utilizing label, textarea, select, option, and button.
* **Client-side Validation**: Implementing HTML5 validation attributes like required, minlength, and pattern.
* **Activity**: Students build a complete contact form with different input fields, radio buttons, and basic HTML5 validation.
**Class 4: Introduction to CSS3 and Basic Styling**
The final class introduces Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to style the HTML content and make the web pages visually appealing and accessible.
* **Topics**:
* **CSS Fundamentals**: The role of CSS, selectors, properties, and values.
* **Integrating CSS**: Using inline, internal, and external style sheets.
* **The Box Model**: Understanding margin, padding, border, and content for basic layout.
* **Basic Styling**: Changing colors, fonts, and text alignment.
* **Accessibility Basics**: Identifying principles of web design usability and accessibility, including ARIA labels.
* **Activity**: Students apply an external CSS file to their Class 3 form project to style the layout, colors, and fonts, culminating in a well-structured and styled webpage.

**Introduction:**
HTML5 is the foundational technology for modern web development, serving as the standard markup language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today.
One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences.
A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines. This emphasis on clear structure helps in creating more logical and maintainable websites.
Developing websites in today's competitive environment requires taking advantage of every technique you can to get the maximum exposure possible. Our HTML5 class will not only show you what's new in the HTML specification, but also the best way to develop optimized web pages that get the attention your client and/or company requires.
