Männerkreis

Tue, Aug 25, 5:00 PM
From Männerkreis Berlin Kreuzberg

Jeder Männerkreis ist anders. Die Menschen, die zusammenkommen, bringen ihre Fragen, Erfahrungen und Geschichten mit – und genau daraus entsteht der Abend. **Der Schwerpunkt dieses Abends wird noch festgelegt, oder entsteht aus dem Kontext** Das Thema gibt uns einen gemeinsamen Ausgangspunkt. Es öffnet einen Raum für Austausch, Reflexion und Begegnung. Manche sprechen viel, andere hören zunächst zu. Beides hat seinen Platz. Unser Kreis ist kein Seminar und keine Therapiegruppe. Er ist ein geschützter Raum, in dem Männer einander auf Augenhöhe begegnen, voneinander lernen und sich gegenseitig stärken können. Wir glauben, dass echte Verbindung entsteht, wenn Menschen sich trauen, ehrlich zu sein – mit sich selbst und miteinander. **Ablauf** * 19:00 Ankommen * 19:15 Beginn * ca. 21:15 Ende

Please note that it’s at Choriner Str. 12, 10119 Berlin. Do note the street and house number to reach ☑️ the bar next to it is always closed so please don’t get confused by it. we sit in the room in the back, if you arrive early, feel free to wait there.) What to expect in the circle: \- The first 45 minutes we can spend to get coffee and settle down \- On a volunteer basis\, each of the attendee will then get some time to share \- You can skip sharing\, there's no force on you to speak\, staying silent and listening is completely ok ///// ….. /////// Code of conduct: 📓 There are no requirements or expectations of any kind. Speaking is encouraged but not compulsory. All issues are legitimate and deserve attention. Everyone is entitled to share their experience, including yourself. Speak honestly and respectfully. Try not to downplay or invalid other people's feelings, or your own. Pay attention to physical and emotional boundaries. Avoid raising your voice, interrupting or talking over anyone else. Be aware of how much you’re participating so everyone gets a chance to speak. Refrain from giving unsolicited advice; what works for you may not for others. Respect privacy during this dialogue and beyond. What is said during the Meetup is not meant to be repeated outside. Notify the facilitator if you feel distressed or upset, or if you find someone's behavior inappropriate. Feel free to step out if you need to. Last but not least, have respect for everyone’s religious / cultural / nationality / race / gender / sexual / diverse backgrounds.

Members working through various projects in the Toastmasters education program deliver speeches based on their chosen projects. Each speech is evaluated by a designated evaluator who provides feedback on strengths and areas for improvement. **Table Topics:** Table Topics is a segment where impromptu speaking skills are tested. The Table Topics Master presents a series of short, unprepared speaking challenges or questions, and members or guests are invited to come to the podium and give a brief, improvised response. **Evaluations:** Following the prepared speeches and Table Topics segment, evaluators provide constructive feedback to speakers. These evaluations focus on content, delivery, body language, and time management. The goal is to help speakers improve their speaking skills. **Reports and Functionary Roles:** The meeting may include various functionary roles, such as the Timer, Grammarian, Ah-Counter, and others, who report on their observations and contributions to the session. These roles help members improve their language and time management skills. **General Evaluator:** The General Evaluator provides an overall assessment of the meeting, highlighting what went well and offering suggestions for improvement. They may also evaluate the evaluators' performance. **Awards and Recognitions:** Toastmasters sessions often conclude with awards and recognitions, including the Best Speaker, Best Evaluator, and Best Table Topics Speaker. These awards encourage members to strive for excellence in their speaking and leadership abilities. **Closing:** The meeting concludes with closing remarks from the Toastmaster of the Day, who may express gratitude to participants and encourage them to continue their Toastmasters journey. **Networking and Socialising:** After the formal meeting, members and guests often have the opportunity to network, socialise, and discuss their experiences in a more relaxed setting.
