City societies are always changing: people move away, new people arrive. For people from other countries or cultural backgrounds, it can be difficult to navigate the structures and dynamics they find in their new home. Sometimes, you might have lived somewhere for a while without having left the beaten path.
Our platform zusammenessen.de offers the opportunity to make new acquaintances fast and hassle-free for those who want to explore new things and get to know their new home. It doesn’t matter where you’re from or which socio-cultural background you have. We’re all about meeting someone new. An invitation to a shared dinner is already enough. Food sustains us and is a big part of culture. Sharing a meal at a communal table unites and is an informal context for a conversation and to get to know one another. Or spend time together doing sports, making music, learning a language…. The possibilities are endless.
This works both ways. Invite someone yourself or accept an invitation. Taking a walk to your favorite spot is just as good as the first dinner in your own flat.
Start slow, get to know each other without changing your daily routine or having a sense of obligation. Just lunch, a jam session or a game of chess. Maybe this will lead to more meetings. Just because you share an interest or had a great conversation. Whatever happens, you have to feel comfortable.
To ensure that people meet via „zusammen essen, denken & leben“ who actually have something to talk about, we would like hosts to give a short bio. We would like to make it possible for people from all walks of life to get to know each other. People who’ve just moved here can meet local musicians to jam with, or artisans from other countries can have lunch with the local craftspeople. Students of different majors from different countries can share stories from their universities over a cup of tea. Who knows, this might even lead to a job opportunity.
