Young Democrats

**Nerds, Creatives & Dreamers** is a small, curated gathering in Berlin for two kinds of people who almost never end up in the same room: the ones who build things with code, and the ones who build things with imagination. Developers and painters. Engineers and writers. Founders and photographers. In daily life these worlds rarely collide — here, that collision is the whole point. Just a good space, a deliberate mix of curious people, and the freedom to let the evening unfold. Come ready to be surprised by who you meet and where the evening takes you. A room full of curious humans. We’re here to socialize as human beings. And if you do exchange contacts — make it personal, not transactional. **🛠 If You Build Things** · Developers & Engineers · Designers & Product People · Founders · People Who Code for Fun **🎨 If You Create Things** · Writers & Journalists · Photographers · Artists & Painters · Anyone With a Side Obsession 👉 **You can also join via Luma if this event reaches capacity: https://luma.com/0y2yd2q4** Please RSVP “yes” only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and others on the waitlist. **📝 Note:** You are welcome to attend our social meetup! The event is free. The space is generously hosted for us — the only thing we ask is that you support it by buying a drink, etc. A small gesture that keeps evenings like this possible. **🤝 Community:** This is a space built on curiosity and respect. We keep it that way — for everyone.

***This is Heartcore:*** For fans of post‑hardcore, metalcore, and the emo‑soaked places in between. **A warm place for the heart shaped ones :)** We're meeting at least once a month to hang out, exchange new music, and make new friends. Join us for a beer and tell us all about your favourite bands and why they matter to you so much. 🥀This time we're meeting in the BRLO beer garden where you can bring your dogs as well if you like! They have bratwurst and fries and all sorts of good craft beer. We will meet in front of the grill stand inside the BRLO beergarden, it is right next to the entrance and easy to find. Can’t wait to see you there, heart-shaped friends! 🖤✨

**For those who read the book and those who haven't yet – both are welcome.** *"Our children are less cognitively capable than we were at their age."* That's the opening claim of [The Digital Delusion](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/244813958-the-digital-delusion) by neuroscientist and educator Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath backed by a synthesis of over 21,000 studies. What does it mean? For most of the 20th century, IQ scores rose with each generation ([the well-documented Flynn effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect)). Around the year 2000, that trend reversed across much of the Western world. In countries where traditional schooling remained largely intact, it didn't. We were told that classroom technology, worth $ 400 billion, is the future of education, but Horvath argues it is not. At the same time, [Salman Khan](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/196848520-brave-new-words?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_10) – founder of Khan Academy – believes AI could be the great equaliser in education: a personal tutor for every child, regardless of background. Both can't be entirely right. Which parts of each argument will prove to be true? This June, Human Future Hub brings together humans interested in education, technology, parenting, policy-making and curious minds to explore one of the most consequential and least settled debates of our time: **what is digital technology actually adding to how we learn?** We'll present the key ideas from both books, so you don't need to have read them to join the conversation, but it would be great if you do. Come with your questions, your experience, and your honest opinion. 📅 Saturday, 6 June 2026 📍 Location to be revealed 🎟 Find out more about **Human Future Hub** at: [humanfuturehub.org](http://humanfuturehub.org)

**A place to meet sound, without maps** Facilitated by **Vesti Gium (they/them)** Everyone enters as they are. No score. No threshold of skill. We follow the room, moment by moment— listening, nudging, letting the music find itself. A breath, a shoelace, a laugh, a footstep— each carries weight. Silence is welcomed; noise is celebrated. There are no wrong directions here. We practise a listening that reaches outward and inward: to ourselves, to one another, to the space we shape together. That is where the music begins. * 🌀 Bring a voice, an object, an instrument, a movement—or nothing at all. * ✨ **Priority given to FLINTA folks and people with migration background.** * 🎧 No experience needed. Curiosity is enough. * 📍 Berlin – \[theodorstraße 5,12099] * 🗓 Every Saturday 12:00 * 📬 DM or email **[vestigium.impro@gmail.com](mailto:vestigium.impro@gmail.com)** to join Come make sound—come be heard.

## Nostalgia, Energy & Iconic Moves Step back into the golden era of MTV and VIVA and celebrate Yourself through the power of music and movement.

It’s all about reliving that energy—while making it Your own. Led by Anastasia, a Berlin-based dance instructor who started her journey back when Commercial Dance was known as Videoclip Dancing.

Unfortunately, German Vereinsrecht requires us to have a board. Fortunately, it only happens once in a while (every 4 years). Today all members of the Lousy & Lazy Sport Club are invited to vote who they want as their board for the next 4 years. Participation is voluntary. Voting is voluntary. Complaining afterwards is strongly discouraged. Remember: if you don't vote, you might end up with the AFD. Or worse.

An opening of an art exhibition is a nice occasion to catch up and hang out. No agenda, just art, wine and chat. *** KIT Berlin ([@kitstudioartspace](https://www.instagram.com/kitstudioartspace)) invites you to an exhibition of paintings by Wiola Stankiewicz [@wiola_stankiewicz](https://www.instagram.com/wiola_stankiewicz/) “Now it Makes Sense, Isn’t It?” and a musical performance by Antonio Bastos [@antonio__bastos](https://www.instagram.com/antonio__bastos/) Now It Makes Sense, Isn’t It? continues the “Emotional Algorithm” project — a series of paintings built from intuitively selected screenshots, private photographs, and images found online. The images are combined like an emotional bajaderka (a Polish layered dessert traditionally made from mixed leftovers, fragments, and combined remains) — sometimes through color, contrast, or an unexplainable feeling that they simply belong together. The works explore screen aesthetics and digital ways of perceiving images. Meaning often appears only later. And sometimes not at all. Wiola Stankiewicz is a visual artist born in Elbląg, Poland, currently living and working in Coimbra, Portugal. Her practice focuses on painting, collage, and assemblage, using mixed media techniques and experimental material processes. Working with icons of popular culture, landscapes, found images, and photographs from her personal archive, Stankiewicz builds a coherent and autonomous visual language based on intuition and process. Her works function as images of an open character, in which meaning emerges from the relationships between image, material, and gesture. Antonio Bastos turns vulnerability into stage, community into sound and instinct into creation. From electronics to tradition, from improvised lyrics to shared movement, his music is born live and unfolds into a visual, emotional experience. With dozens of releases and festival shows, he was awarded People’s Choice at the IPMA (USA), blending performance with community creation — involving choirs, schools and local groups of all ages. Each concert is a seed sown in the territory, where the audience also becomes creator.

We meet and sketch each other in Berlin. This is just an art gym that we also exercise our social skills. Afterwards usually we go for lunch as a group. **How Does It Work?** This event is simple, we meet and sketch each other doing portraits. Most of the participants use pencils or watercolors. Main aim is to socialize while we draw. There will be plenty of time to talk and get to know each other. We have to mention that this event is suitable for all levels. Many have started to draw in our event actually. **Structure** A. Warmup Phase: We pose to each other for 1 minute. B. Main Phase: We pose to each other for 10 minutes. C. Showcase Phase: We show some of the drawings we did to each other. **Who We Are** Creative Sessions is an art events group located in Berlin. **Is it Free?** The event is free of charge. It is advisable to get a drink though. This is a cafe, we need to have at least half of the people on each table with a drink. They accept only cash and most hot drinks cost from 2.50 to 3.50. **How to help or donate?** The event is provided for free but many people help this be a regular thing. We also need people to volunteer and help for minor tasks like the serving of the drinks or cleaning up. Just send us a message. If you want to donate and keep this event from happening, via Paypal to the host (Miltos) : https://ko-fi.com/miltosthings/ **Art Materials?** Bring your own art materials. **Our Instagram Profile** Follow us on instagram @icreativesessions Use the hashtag #icreativesessions on your post description there to find out drawings from the event!

**(Event in German) Bitte beachtet, dass wir auf verschiedenen Wegen einladen, es werden also mehr Menschen teilnehmen, als ihr hier seht.** Egal wie alt wir sind – Alter beschäftigt uns: Wir denken selbst darüber nach, oder werden ständig daran erinnert. Fühlen wir uns älter oder jünger, als wir sind? Vermissen wir es, 16 zu sein oder freuen wir uns, immer reifer und sicherer zu werden? Machen wir uns Sorgen, für unser Alter nicht genug erreicht zu haben, oder fragen wir uns, ob wir unser Leben gerade mehr genießen sollten? Da wir alle mit diesen Gefühlen und Fragen nicht allein sind, wollen wir sie gemeinsam erkunden, indem wir Antworten auf eine einfache, aber tiefgründige Frage sammeln: „Wie fühlt es sich gerade an, in meinem Alter zu sein?“ Wenn wir Glück haben, nehmen Menschen aus verschiedenen Generationen teil, sodass wir über Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede sprechen können: Wie fühlt es sich heute an, 25, 35, 55 oder 75 zu sein? ACHTUNG ANDERE LOCATION UND ZEIT: Dieses Event ist Teil der Veranstaltungsreihe „Das Diskussions-Experiment in der Bibliothek“. In dieser Reihe sind wir in der Mittelpunktbibliothek Schöneberg zu Gast (🥳) und probieren dort gemeinsam neue Methoden, um Diskussionen interessant, inspirierend und entspannt zu gestalten. Anders als üblicherweise treffen wir uns diesmal an einem Samstag um 13 Uhr. **Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos!** Weitere Informationen findest du in den FAQs weiter unten. Schreib uns gerne, wenn du Fragen hast. *(Bild erstellt mit Open AI)* +++++++++ **FAQ** ***Was kann ich von dem Event erwarten?*** Jede Veranstaltung ist ein Experiment, daher ist es schwierig, genau vorherzusagen, wie sie verlaufen oder sich anfühlen wird. Wir versuchen in jedem Event eine entspannte und anregende Atmosphäre zu schaffen, in der wir verschiedene Aspekte und Perspektiven des Themas gemeinsam erkunden. Zu Beginn der Diskussion werden wir spezielle Spielregeln einführen, die das Gespräch langsamer, aber auch fokussierter und klarer machen sollen. ***Für wen ist dieses Event gedacht?*** Diese Veranstaltung richtet sich an alle, die sich für das Thema und/oder das Konzept interessieren. Wir möchten einen Raum schaffen, in dem sich Menschen jeden Alters, jeder Identität und jeder Herkunft willkommen fühlen. ***Muss ich aktiv mitdiskutieren, oder kann ich auch nur zuhören?*** Es ist völlig in Ordnung, nur zuzuhören. Du kannst jederzeit selbst entscheiden, wie aktiv du sein möchtest, und wirst, abgesehen von einer kurzen Namensrunde, nicht aufgefordert, etwas zu sagen. Möglicherweise gibt es jedoch Kleingruppen-Phasen, d. h. kurze Abschnitte, in denen alle Teilnehmer\*innen in Gruppen von 2-3 Personen diskutieren. Du musst daran nicht teilnehmen, sondern kannst die Zeit stattdessen für eine Pause nutzen. Du musst nichts vorbereiten, keine starke Meinung haben und auch nicht extrovertiert sein, um teilzunehmen. ***Wie lange dauert die Veranstaltung?*** Die Veranstaltung dauert zwischen 1,5 und 2 Stunden. ***Ist der Veranstaltungsort rollstuhlgerecht?*** Ja. Dieses Event findet in der Mittelpunktbibliothek Schöneberg statt und ist somit rollstuhlgerecht. Das ist leider nicht immer der Fall, da wir an verschiedenen Orten veranstalten. Bitte prüfe daher am besten immer die FAQs vor deinem Besuch. ***Was ist das "Diskussions Experiment"?*** Das Diskussionsexperiment ist eine Veranstaltungsreihe, in deren Rahmen wir kontinuierlich Methoden testen, die sinnvolle und inspirierende Gruppengespräche ermöglichen. Unter anderem experimentieren wir mit Techniken, die Diskussionen verlangsamen, Klarheit fördern und die Teilnehmer dabei unterstützen, besser Gehör zu finden. Weitere Informationen findest du auf der [Webseite](https://diskussions-experiment.de/en/home/). Dieses Projekt wird von Maria Scholze und [Igor Don](http://www.linkedin.com/in/igor-don) organisiert.

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.
