Modelling an event

Examples of types of activities and events: workshop (Q37), lecture (Q65), conference (Q42).

It is valuable to indicate whether an event took place physically or was online (or hybrid). That's why the item should have two instance of (P5), one for the type of the event (conference (Q42), edit-a-thon (Q41)...) and one for how it was conducted (see list of possibilities in table below).
