Dieses Jahr kamen 94 Teilnehmer:innen zusammen, um sich über Themen rund um Transformation, agile Arbeitsweisen und Kultur auszutauschen. 🌍 </p><p>In einer inspirierenden Open Space Atmosphäre ohne feste Agenda konnte jede:r Teilnehmer:in in die Rolle des Moderators schlüpfen und mit eigenen Erfahrungen und Wissen beitragen. So vielfältig wie das Programm waren auch die Teilnehmenden: Von Menschen aus Brasilien bis Japan und von Einsteiger:innen bis Expert:innen – die agile Community zeigte sich besonders bunt und divers. 🙌 Auch wir waren mit insgesamt neun Kolleg:innen aus Freiburg, Timisoara und Barcelona vor Ort, um diese großartige Plattform für Austausch und Lernen aktiv mitzugestalten. 💪 </p><p>„Die Vielzahl an inspirierenden, gleichgesinnten Persönlichkeiten und die Fülle an wertvollen Erkenntnissen waren schlichtweg überwältigend – und das auf die denkbar positivste Weise”, resümiert Andrei Boldorea, Scrum Master, Haufe Group Romania. </p><p>Ein besonderes Highlight war der Agile Coach Camp Song, der von den Teilnehmer:innen selbst komponiert und aufgeführt wurde. Dieser Moment hat eindrucksvoll gezeigt, wie viel Kreativität und Leidenschaft in dieser Gemeinschaft stecken! 🎶 </p><p>Unser Kollege und Scrum-Master <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://friends.librescrum.org/@derralf" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>derralf</span></a></span> bringt es auf den Punkt: „Meine ohnehin schon hohen Erwartungen an die Veranstaltung wurden sogar übertroffen.

AI6YR Ben<p>Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency: "12/24/2023 - Limited ReOpening!<br>Looking to get out of the house in the next couple of days? Here’s a PRO TIP! Head over to the Los Robles open space area for a breath of fresh air and some pleasant hiking and riding! Other open space areas like Wildwood, Lang Ranch, and Hill Canyon are still quite muddy from the recent rains. Help protect those trails from damage by giving them a few more days to dry out. Remember: if you leave tracks, turn back.

As the new field of environmental neuroscience proves, exposure to nature isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity</p><p>by Sam Pyrah<br>Mon 27 Nov 2023 05.00 EST </p><p>"You are probably aware of studies showing that green (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/vegetated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vegetated</span></a>) and blue (moving <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>water</span></a>) environments are associated with a reduction in stress, improved mood, more positive emotions and decreases in anxiety and rumination. But there is growing evidence that nature exposure also benefits cognitive function – all the processes involved in gaining knowledge and understanding, including perception, memory, reasoning, judgment, imagination and problem-solving. One study found that after just 40 seconds of looking out at a green roof, subjects made fewer mistakes in a test than when they looked at a concrete one."</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/nov/27/the-nature-cure-how-time-outdoors-transforms-our-memory-imagination-and-logic?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2</span><span class="invisible">023/nov/27/the-nature-cure-how-time-outdoors-transforms-our-memory-imagination-and-logic?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaveNature</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NaturalWorld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NaturalWorld</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MoreGreenSpace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MoreGreenSpace</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gardens</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OpenSpace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSpace</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NatureIsATemple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NatureIsATemple</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectTheForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectTheForests</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectNature</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NatureBathing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NatureBathing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenSound" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreenSound</span></a></p>
