talkin' concept and vision

talkin’ is an organization founded by Markus Pichlmair and me in 2006 at the University of Technology Vienna. This is my core concept I’m following while acting as a president of this club.

Where we want to get to as an organization

  • talkin’ organizes Social Adventures through their groups
  • It should be a worldwide organization, with groups organizing them in every major city
  • Every participants of a Social Adventure should have the same experience, with local adaptations and continuous experimentation of the concept.
  • Active talkin’ community members should have a strong network in between them to share experiences and connect with each other.
  • For participants it should be a plattform to connect with like-minded people all around the world.

What Social Adventure are for

Social Adventures are monthly meetups, where like-minded people come together and both lead and participate. The gerneal topic is “experimenting with communication”:

  • Empowering young adults. We believe that in order to achieve your goals in life you need to know yourself, your communication, your personality.
  • Creating a safe environment to get out of your comfort zone. We believe that the best way to grow as a person is to get out of your comfort zone. Talkin’ thrives to be your test environment for that.
  • Joyfully failing. We believe that failing leads to learning. Let’s provide an environment where we all are comfortable with that.
