Meet Brno - December Sunday in nature

In the project Meet Brno in Brno for you, we decided to show newcomers in Brno beautiful nature. On December 20, we met the participants at the last bus stop to Mariánské údolí. We headed in the direction of Jeníkův mlýn. During the walk we got to know each other and talked about different topics. We discussed what we can do in Brno and also what non-profits we can participate in as volunteers. There was also talk about personal development, the participants even shared with us their intentions for business.

We have created a group on Facebook, which is intended for newcomers in Brno. The group really came to life after the event, we shared interesting links with each other, such as the Erasmus opportunity for young entrepreneurs, information about volunteering opportunities and then tips from another barrel - the top ten Czech films on Netlifx.

In the project Meet Brno in Brno for you, we have prepared a brochure that should help newcomers in Brno to better integrate into community life. During our Sunday event, we received many new suggestions from the participants, which we will definitely add to the brochure.

The participants of the event learned a lot of new information. And so do we! During the walk, we learned what life is like in Tanzania or that people in India do not consider yoga as a sporting activity, but as part of a lifestyle and take it as a cleansing ritual. We had prepared small snacks for the participants, we were pleasantly surprised that they also brought their traditional food and drink to taste. We tasted Indian tea with milk or Belgian pralines.

How was the first online Meet Brno Pub Quiz?

On Saturday, January 23, we organized the first online Meet Brno Pub Quiz, Covid edition. We used our experience from the last two online events and prepared a Kahoot quiz with some additional activities called a "Jošta game" The Kahoot quiz was divided into 11 categories such as Festivals in the world, Brno sculpture, Czech companies, Volunteering or for example Erasmus+. During the whole game, the Participants had to be aware of the world Jošta and be prepared for the next additional activity. We had also a nice interesting discussion after the game. :) And who were our participants? Foreign volunteers, workers, and students who are new to Brno. We arranged the meeting in the Zoom application. Thanks to everyone who participated. Did you miss the online Pub quiz? Never mind, we are planning to organize this type of event also offline in the pub when the pandemic situation will be better. We are looking forward to meeting you live this time! 🙂
