This "Krakow Newcomers Welcome Club" gathering is for people who are new to Krakow or long standing residents who want to welcome them.This event will be hosted by Lennart supported by Caroline, Richard, David, Max, Tamta, Van and the team from Yolk.
What is different about these meetings is that they are designed to be "newcomer friendly", with integration activities and games so that people who don't know anyone don't fee that they are entering a room where everyone knows each other.
Who should join: People who are new in Krakow who want to get integrated with others in the city, and those who already live here and want to welcome them.
Why they should join: These two groups should join because it will help strengthen their local connections, improve their social lives and help them integrate.
What members can expect out of the group: There are three parts of our meetups.
1 structured integration games, designed to make things easy for participants who don't know other people to make new connections,
2 Community announcements where those have a community project are able to tell other people in the room about it, and
3. informal socialising
Community: The group will foster relationships between those who attend because thanks to the way it is organised, it will be easy to meet a large number of people rapidly , and spend time with those who they find most interesting.
The first meetup was held October 2021 and since we have welcomed 300+ people to these events. Each event creates new bonds between newcomers to Krakow and locals (or those who have been here for a while) in a simple, fun, yet effective way.
Our events are open and welcoming to people from all backgrounds. You will be surprised to see how many different nationalities come together at these events.
EVENT STRUCTURE:
We will have a structured first sixty minutes with icebreakers aimed at making things easy for people to connect with one another. Then participants are welcome to hang out and socialise as they wish after the structured part of the meeting is over.
