APG mars 2026 : Polarités et intelligence collective
Bonjour à toutes et à tous,
Pour ce mois de **mars 2026**, nous vous proposons un évènement regroupant la communauté métier Agile d’**Extia** et la communauté Agile Playground Paris : deux communautés, deux côtés, serait-ce l’occasion de parler de polarité ?
Nous vous proposons donc d’explorer les **polarités** durant cette soirée et voir comment leur prise en compte est un vrai plus pour que l'**intelligence collective** puisse atteindre un vrai consensus, co-construit et assumé par toutes et tous.
Laetitia THERNIER ([/in/laetitia-thernier](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laetitia-thernier/)) et Régis SCHNEIDER ([/in/RegisBob](https://www.linkedin.com/in/RegisBob)) proposeront un « crash test » de leur atelier "**Entre deux pôles, mon cœur balance… et c’est très bien comme ça !**" : Le piège, c’est de choisir un camp et de se crisper dans le « pour » ou le « contre ». Non seulement cela ne résout pas la tension, mais c’est souvent là que les relations se tendent et que l’élan collectif s’essouffle. Dans cet atelier ludique, participatif et joyeusement paradoxal, nous vous proposons d’expérimenter comment accueillir ces polarités, les mettre en perspective et apprendre à naviguer avec elles.
D'autres propositions des personnes participantes pourront être proposées, sur le thème du soir, ou un autre, elles seront les bienvenues et auront leur place dans la soirée.
Nous accueillons chaleureusement les personnes curieuses, et encore plus chaudement celles qui s’estiment débutantes !
L'agenda de la soirée :
18h30 : Accueil
18h45 : Brise glace et présentation des ateliers/jeux
19h00 : Ateliers/jeux
20h00 : Réseautage (on partage, on discute, on prend l’apéro)
20h30 : Ateliers/jeux
21h15 : Fin du Meetup
Grâce à Frédéric ANDRE ([/in/fredericandrepro](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fredericandrepro/)) nous vous attendons le **jeudi 5 mars** dans les locaux d’**Extia** au 86 Rue Regnault, 75013 Paris
(Métro 14 : Olympiades, Tram T3a : Porte d’Ivry ou Bus 83 : Regnault)
En espérant vous y retrouver nombreuses et nombreux !

Paris Lit Up open mic (PLU)

If you would like to read, dance, sing or otherwise express yourself, sign up is open and free to all, starting at 20.00-ish. We go until we drop or run out of performers! In any language.

Plus, each week featured performers from around the world are invited to strut their stuff before our rowdy but respectful audience. For this week's special guest, see: www.facebook.com/ParisLitUp
Not in Paris? Join us online at "PLU Live on Zoom"! Every Wednesday from 9pm CET. Just like an open mic, but we chat a bit too. Always the same link, hosts rotate: http://tiny.cc/PLUopenmic
👶✨ Mommy Club✨👶
*Parce qu’aucune maman ne devrait se sentir seule.*
Mommy Club est un rendez-vous mensuel pensé pour les femmes enceintes, celles qui veulent devenir mamans, les jeunes mamans, et toutes celles qui vivent la maternité, à leur manière 🤍
Les mamans sont les bienvenues, et les mamies aussi — pour accompagner, partager leur expérience et transmettre leur douceur d’une génération à l’autre.
Proposé chez Belle Aura, dans une atmosphère intime et propice aux échanges, ce moment permet aux mamans de se rencontrer, discuter librement et partager leurs expériences en toute simplicité.
C’est une parenthèse dans le quotidien : venir seule si l’on en ressent le besoin, ou accompagnée de son bébé, poser ses questions, échanger des conseils et élargir son cercle.
Les mamans peuvent créer du lien, s’entraider et construire petit à petit un réseau bienveillant 🌷
Il ne s’agit pas d’un atelier structuré, mais d’un moment libre, chaleureux et sans jugement.
🗓️ Le premier jeudi de chaque mois (5 mars)
🕓 De 16h à 17h
✨ Participation libre
☕ Une consommation sur place est demandée
📩 Pour confirmer votre présence, merci d’envoyer un message au 06 41 18 25 07
⚠️ Conformément aux règles de Meetup, toute personne de moins de 18 ans participant à un événement doit être accompagnée d’un adulte responsable. ⚠️

Pop-up Book Club 2 : The Tenth of December, by George Saunders
Let’s meet and discuss this fun but moving collection of wildly creative short stories.
(Photo credit: TimesNowNews.com)
Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times.
Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have.
Happy writing!
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association:
They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online
