Local Volunteers

Denmark

Mit navn er Kjeld Danneskiold-Samsøe og jeg bor I København. Jeg arbejder med IT (overraskelse) og jeg har været medlem af både Mensa og TNS siden 2010. Mit mål - som lokal TNS frivillig - er at forøge antallet af TNS-medlemmer i Danmark (og resten af Skandinavien) og forhåbentlig også lave nogle lokale TNS-møder og arrangementer.
TNS er en vigtig del af mit liv - jeg har faktisk et TNS logo tatoveret på min højre skulder - og jeg er altid glad for at kunne byde nye medlemmer velkommen i Foreningen. Mit primære mål i forbindelse med rekruttering er medlemmer i Mensa. I det netværk jeg har i Mensa, er der adskillige gode kandidater til TNS. Udfordringen er at overbevise dem om, at TNS - selv om der er mange lighedspunkter - ER forskellig fra Mensa.
Når TNS medlemmer fra andre lande besøger Danmark, skal de ikke tøve med at kontakte mig. Jeg kan fortælle dem, hvad der er værd at se, eller hjælpe med praktiske ting, og vi kan måske også spise en hyggelig frokost eller middag sammen.

France

Bonjour !
Après des pérégrinations qui m’ont amenées un peu partout en France et autour du globe, je suis à nouveau installé à Paris, où j’ai pu connecter avec de nombreux membres de TNS !
On se réunit de manière presque régulière, en principe les 9 de chaque mois, avec un lieu qui change à chaque fois mais qui est habituellement assez central à Paris.
On organise également d’autres rencontres selon les occasions qui se présentent, et on essaie de pérenniser un évènement annuel et national, en province cette fois-ci.
Je serais ravi de vous intégrer à notre petite communauté francophone, alors n’hésitez pas à me contacter !

Every 9th of the month a local TNS gathering takes place in Paris. Contact Vincent for more information.

Germany

Mein Name ist Werner Konik und ich lebe in Heidelberg. Nach über 30 Jahren Karriere im IT geniesse ich meinen Ruhestand mit verschiedensten Aktivitäten. Als life-member bei TNS habe ich schon an vielen TNS-Treffen teilgenommen — Supersache. Auf Facebook bin ich ebenfalls recht aktiv. Wer also hier in Deutschland sein (TNS)-Leben weiter bereichern will, kann sich gern bei mir melden. Und wer mal TNS persönlich erleben will, kann sich bei mir melden, um Mitgliedschaft zu organisieren oder mehr zu erfahren. Ich höre immer wieder, wie Mitglieder und Gäste die gemeinsame Zeit mit Gleichgesinnten genießen — Ich freue mich also auf Euch und Euren Kontakt.
Bis bald mal.

Italy

Ciao, mi chiamo Diego Fortunati e vivo vicino a Venezia. Sono un pedagogista e psicologo e mi occupo di plusdotazione dal 2006, un ambito che continuo a esplorare con passione e impegno.
Nel corso del tempo ho avuto l’opportunità di accompagnare molte famiglie e persone ad alto potenziale in percorsi di consapevolezza e crescita. Ho anche creato un canale YouTube dedicato all’argomento, dal titolo ‘Oddio, mio figlio è plusdotato’, pensato per offrire supporto e informazione a genitori, educatori ed insegnati.
Credo fortemente nel valore della rete e del confronto tra pari, ed è per questo che mi piacerebbe contribuire ad ampliare e rafforzare la comunità italiana di TNS.
Se desideri saperne di più o semplicemente fare due chiacchiere, sarò felice di sentirti. Scrivimi senza esitazione:

New Zealand

Hi, I'm Bill. I've been in TNS for several years. I haven't been able to get to the conferences, the ggg999 or egg999, since New Zealand is a bit far away. That's alright, because there are ways to get involved remotely: the Facebook and LinkedIn groups, and through the newsletter, Vidya. The discussions are interesting (and challenging), as well as entertaining.
I'm an economics consultant based in Wellington. A lot of my work is in agriculture and natural resources, such as modelling farmer behaviour and analysing the value of agricultural research. As is common in TNS, I have other interests, too. I do research on psychoanalytic and critical theory, play a few instruments, try to garden, and do a bit of martial arts. Of course, I'm also interested in intelligence, HIQ people, giftedness, and so on.
Originally from the US, I've lived in NZ for years. I do travel around the country a bit, so I'm happy to meet up outside of Wellington, too.

Switzerland

Wir haben ja bereits einen ausgesprochen emsigen Local Volunteer, der den deutschsprachigen Raum bearbeitet und sogar zwei Volunteers für den französischsprachigen Raum — da braucht's nicht unbedingt noch einen Extra-Schweizer. Würde man denken.
Mais nous savons tous que la vie n'est pas toujours rationnelle, alors je me suis mis ici comme volontaire pour la Suisse.
Purtroppo, però, non parlo italiano — ma se sei un interessato ticinese, sono sicuro che troveremo un modo per comunicare! Se solo su DeepL....
At any rate, I'll continue in English, a Swiss tradition. I live near Lucerne, have been active in TNS for longer than I can remember and whatever you need to know about TNS in Switzerland, just contact me.
