What if we told you that there's an alpaca painting workshop where you'll be surrounded by the cuddly animals? \n\n\n\nEver since we've participated in a session of alpaca yoga\, we could not stop talking about the experience. The ingenious organizers have once again reached out to us with a new proposition: an outdoor alpaca painting workshop! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat an alpaca painting workshop is about 🩙🎹\n\n\n\n"A lot of people enjoy painting alpaca pictures because it somehow unleashes their inner creativity\," explains Aline of the Alpaka Erlebnisse Kollektiv. This co-op is behind the various alpaca-related events in Switzerland. \n\n\n\nEach session is instructed by Jana Schafroth\, a Swiss artist and illustrator. While wanna-be Picassos like you and me are seated on the alpaca pasture with easel\, canvas\, and paintbrush in hand\, Jana will give some initial instructions. In her own alpaca artwork\, Jana focuses on the animals' souls and the nature surrounding them. Alpacas are curious creatures\, so they will likely interact with workshop participants. \n\n\n\nAt the end of the two-hour session\, we each get to keep our acrylic painting. This could make for a nice gift with a personal touch. Or you could hang it in a prime location of your apartment where you see it every day. \n\n\n\nAlpaca painting workshops are available in these locations: \n\n\n\nMaur (ZH)Köniz (BE)HĂ€gendorf (SO)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n(All photographs copyright Angelina MĂŒller) URL:https://www.newlyswissed.com/event/alpaca-painting-workshop/ CATEGORIES:Workshop/Seminar/Tour ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.newlyswissed.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Alpaca-Painting-Workshop-Angelina-Mueller-Photo-46_feature.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Alpaka%20Erlebnisse%20Schweiz":MAILTO:alpakaerlebnisse@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20211026T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20211026T210000 DTSTAMP:20260627T092611 CREATED:20211006T144816Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211025T121447Z UID:108313-1635273000-1635282000@www.newlyswissed.com SUMMARY:Meet top MBA schools during this free online session DESCRIPTION:It takes the right qualifications\, skills\, and professional network to make it into today’s top management.

It is therefore fitting that the Limmatstadt joins the ranks of Lisbon\, Vienna and Berlin in hosting the Monocle Quality of Life Conference. \nWelcoming Monocle to ZĂŒrich\nIn April\, Tyler BrĂ»lĂ©'s Monocle Magazine will open its new Zurich office in the Dufourstrasse in the city's publishing quarter. With the expansion in Switzerland\, Mr BrĂ»le has also chosen to make ZĂŒrich the host city of the 2018 edition of Monocle's Quality of Life Conference. \nThis year\, there will be a particular focus on entrepreneurship and "what it takes to make it in the city". Expect an event featuring apĂ©ros\, drinks and an array of speakers on topics of urbanism\, publishing and retail. If you are at all interested in any of these topics and hoping to make a splash in them\, this conference is for you. \nIn Monocle’s characteristic clarity\, the site states why such a conference is necessary: "We don’t measure connections by comments on backlit screens or likes on a social-media feed. Instead\, a firm handshake\, swapped card and drink at the bar are much seemlier options for sealing deals and drumming up contacts. Our conferences allow delegates to forge friendships and cut to the chase with experts on subjects from entrepreneurship to the arts and urbanism to design. We also have a firm ‘good coffee and no lanyards’ policy." \n  URL:https://www.newlyswissed.com/event/monocle-quality-of-life-conference/ LOCATION:KOSMOS\, Lagerstrasse 104\, ZĂŒrich\, ZH\, 8004\, Switzerland CATEGORIES:Workshop/Seminar/Tour ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.newlyswissed.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Monocle-Quality-of-Life.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Monocle":MAILTO:customerservice@monocle.com GEO:47.3799879;8.5289016 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=KOSMOS Lagerstrasse 104 ZĂŒrich ZH 8004 Switzerland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Lagerstrasse 104:geo:8.5289016,47.3799879 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180526 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180527 DTSTAMP:20260627T092611 CREATED:20180322T190814Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180322T190814Z UID:49496-1527292800-1527379199@www.newlyswissed.com SUMMARY:TEDxBasel 2018 about borders and frontiers DESCRIPTION:The theme of the 4th annual TEDxBasel conference will be "Borders & Frontiers". \nThis popular event will feature ten inspiring speakers and talented performers who have "Ideas Worth Spreading".

First\, as a traveller I used to watch the talks whenever I found time - whether it was in an airport\, a hotel room or while in public transport. The second phase is much more intense\, as in the last five years\, I have been working closely with the TEDx community. \nInteresting topics at TEDxLugano\nWhich made me think: “When was the last time I sat among the audience and watched a live TEDx talk?” I attended TEDx Youth in Adliswil two years ago. And this year\, I am looking forward to visiting a new city where the TEDx event will be hosted: Lugano. \nYou don’t need many reasons to visit Ticino. (It’s beautiful there.) But this Saturday\, I am excited to be part of the audience for TEDxLugano. It will be Lugano’s fourth TEDx edition\, and the topic is dear to me: “Professions of the Future”. \nAs an entrepreneur\, I am sensitive to topics that define the way we work moving forward. Leadership and storytelling are some of the key topics that remain relevant\, and I am curious to know what Fateme Banishoeib\, a leadership consultant and poet\, will share with us. \nAnother area that is key in a start-up business is visibility. We live in a chaotic digital world and it is going to get worse unless we learn the art of constant adaptation in digital marketing and branding. Ale Agostini will talk about his expertise in digital marketing while Dorie Clark will throw some insights on branding. \nAs the Artificial Intelligence advancement continues\, there are many a reason why one must pay close attention to these developments. Automation is here to stay and it can serve as an excellent tool if we understand and make it to work to our needs. Anna Valente\, Wyatt Newman\, Behshad Behzadi\, Jami El-Imad\, Henrique Jorge and Kathryn Hess Bellwald touch upon the wide field of computer science and its applications. \nThough there are many start-ups on the rise\, one must not forget that the corporates are going to stay. They will remain relevant if they adopt the cultural sensitivities in the open market that the world of business operates. Every start-up aims to go big sometime and understanding corporate culture will help in hiring smart people and solving problems better. \nHarald Port talks about creating business values in his talk.\nFrank Barkow is an architect and I am keen to know from an architect’s perspective about their challenges involved with advancing technology and the need for sustainable buildings. \nAs you can tell\, I am excited about the speaker’s line-up.\nWhat am I hoping for? As always\, to get inspired! And most importantly\, to learn something new and network with other audience members. \n  URL:https://www.newlyswissed.com/event/tedxlugano-2017/ LOCATION:LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura\, Piazza Bernardino Luini 6\, Lugano\, TI\, 6900\, Switzerland CATEGORIES:Workshop/Seminar/Tour ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.newlyswissed.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/TEDxLugano-2017.jpg GEO:46.0000605;8.9484019 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura Piazza Bernardino Luini 6 Lugano TI 6900 Switzerland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Piazza Bernardino Luini 6:geo:8.9484019,46.0000605 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20170611T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20170611T183000 DTSTAMP:20260627T092611 CREATED:20170324T124718Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170324T191133Z UID:42398-1497186000-1497205800@www.newlyswissed.com SUMMARY:TEDxBasel 2017 DESCRIPTION:TEDxBasel\, the yearly regional conference for new and inspiring ideas\, is coming back to the Musical Theater in Basel. \nInspirational people from the region will showcase their perspectives and talent.

If you have been shooting in "automatic" mode for a while\, but are struggling to get consistent results\, this course may be perfect for you... \nEach of our three course sessions takes place on a Saturday from 10 AM until 4:30 PM at the Viewfinder Day-Crunch in ZĂŒrich: \n- May 7\n- May 21\n- June 4 \nThe approach of Matt Anderson and his team is to offer friendly\, hands-on learning that familiarizes participants with their camera’s functions.

The dSLR 1-2-3 package is Viewfinder’s most popular course offering\, and if you are new to Switzerland\, this is the right time to learn about photography. \nMore information \n(Photographs copyright Viewfinder Center) URL:https://www.newlyswissed.com/event/viewfinder-digital-photography-course-zurich/ LOCATION:Viewfinder Mastery ZĂŒrich\, Stampfenbachstrasse 157\, ZĂŒrich\, ZH\, 8006\, Switzerland CATEGORIES:Workshop/Seminar/Tour ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.newlyswissed.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Viewfinder-Center-Photography-Course-02.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Viewfinder%20Center":MAILTO:info@viewfindercenter.com GEO:47.3875426;8.5393574 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Viewfinder Mastery ZĂŒrich Stampfenbachstrasse 157 ZĂŒrich ZH 8006 Switzerland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Stampfenbachstrasse 157:geo:8.5393574,47.3875426 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20160313T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20160313T130000 DTSTAMP:20260627T092612 CREATED:20160212T132059Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220602T063735Z UID:36074-1457865000-1457874000@www.newlyswissed.com SUMMARY:Pop-up Writing Workshop at a Chocolate Shop (ZĂŒrich) DESCRIPTION:An unexpected location is the starting point for an informal writing workshop in English. \nBy the end of the session\, your imagination will have had a spa treatment while your brain has collected a toolkit of practical techniques. \nWhether an idea for a blog on Moroccan food\, the draft of a novel\, or an unwritten love letter is top of mind\, this is inspiring\, sustainable "me-time" with no wrongs and lots of writes. \nThe event will be held at Max Chocolatier boutique in ZĂŒrich's old town.

It will take place Oct 23 - 25 at the Volkshaus in ZĂŒrich. \nThe weekend includes a Sunday afternoon author reading and panel discussion\, which is open to the public (although prior registration is necessary)\, as well as two intense weekend workshops focusing on specific genres of writing. \n  \nHere are five reasons you should attend\, from the very biased opinion of Chantal\, one of the authors-in-residence:\n1. You’ll learn how to improve your fiction writing. Emylia Hall is our fiction author in residence. The author of three novels\, including one set in Lausanne\, she'll be teaching a workshop on the craft of fiction with a focus on sense of place. Students will also have the opportunity to have their worked critiqued.\n \n2. You’ll learn that it only takes 800 words to launch a writing career. I’m teaching a workshop called Miniature Memoir: Writing and Publishing Personal Essays. Writing a personal essay is one of the best ways to break into freelancing. During my workshop\, I’ll take you from essay idea to international writing career\, one miniature memoir at a time.\n \n3. You’ll be able to ask questions. The author reading and Q&A session on Sunday afternoon\, Oct 25\, is open to the public (with prior registration). I’ll be reading from my book\, Swiss Life: 30 Things I Wish I'd Known. Emylia Hall will be reading from her new novel\, The Sea Between Us. And then we’ll be answering everything you’ve ever wanted to know about writing\, not writing\, life in Switzerland\, and life after Switzerland.\n \n4. You’ll meet other writers. Form critique groups\, find a friend\, or just get inspired. The workshop welcomes 30 writers from Switzerland and abroad who are as passionate about writing and finding fellow writers to share their work with as you are.\n \n5. You’ll love October in Zurich. October is a stunning time to visit Zurich — if you're not already here\, that is. The leaves peak about the week of our workshop and there are no tourists but still plenty of sunshine.\n \nMore information URL:https://www.newlyswissed.com/event/zurich-writers-workshop-2015/ LOCATION:Volkshaus ZĂŒrich\, Stauffacherstrasse 60\, ZĂŒrich\, 8004\, Switzerland CATEGORIES:Workshop/Seminar/Tour ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.newlyswissed.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Zurich-Writers-Workshop_new.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Chantal%20Panozzo":MAILTO:zww@zurichwritersworkshop.com GEO:47.3754575;8.5272245 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Volkshaus ZĂŒrich Stauffacherstrasse 60 ZĂŒrich 8004 Switzerland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Stauffacherstrasse 60:geo:8.5272245,47.3754575 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20151020T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20151020T214000 DTSTAMP:20260627T092612 CREATED:20151013T084452Z LAST-MODIFIED:20151013T084452Z UID:34187-1445367600-1445377200@www.newlyswissed.com SUMMARY:Debate: Who decides what makes art great? (ZĂŒrich) DESCRIPTION:What is connoisseurship? What is art? Is art merely a matter of taste? How do we distinguish false\, bad or mediocre art from a masterpiece?

A trademark of Zurich Salon debates is that they have a high level of audience participation. \nThis will not the first time that the Zurich Salon is hosting a debate.
