 .\nTIPS on HOW TO CONNECT:\n\nLook out for a good smile/vibe in a person/g
 roup of 2-3 people and say "Hi my name is xxx\, can I join?".\nTry somethi
 ng different (person\, game\, table\, activity) often until you find fun q
 uality connection\nAsk Support: we understand going out to meet friends ca
 n be a stretch. We make this easy with a fun and safe event. Also you can 
 ask for help from our clearly communicated (see photos of this event) "Peo
 ple Connectors" who can help you discreetly to connect with others\nInvest
  time(not quickly just come by) as friendships are an investment\nCome bac
 k: big turnaround\, people come randomly at each event\, so you never know
  who you ll meet\n\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\nABOUT US: (in detail)\n.\n.\nWHY Connec
 tion Space?\n\n... we ❤️ uniting people while having fun! We make the worl
 d better by enabling fun quality offline connections & building community!
 \n... we truly believe Human Connections is what we truly deeply crave for
  and what we truly need so we can be happy and healthy! This is proven by 
 data in ANCIENT HISTORY\, in MODERN HISTORY and also scientifically proven
  by HARVARD in an 87 year old study. Yes this makes you HEALTHY and is wha
 t you really need - the other things are not as important as society tells
  you.\n\n.\n\nWHAT is Connection Space?\n\nImagine a co-working space wher
 e everyone is with headphones\, laptops\, mostly being 'alone' all day ...
 \nor a cafe/restaurant/bar where pretty much all people talk to people the
 y already know..\n.\nThe "Connection Space" is exactly the opposite of tha
 t\; its a fun social environment outside family and work\, a cultural exch
 ange\, where we unite and hangout with new and old friends as one communit
 y.\n.\nThats it.\n.\nNo to phones\, laptops\, zoom-calls\, books\nNo to a 
 specific reason to get together (eg. only for specific hobbies\, genders\,
  age groups\, languages etc)\nNo to just talking to your friends\nNot a da
 ting\, not a party\, not an expat-only meetup\nNO to division (political r
 acial gender etc)\n.\nYes to simple and real in-person connection with new
  and old friends\nYES TO FUN! We got many optional activities for you to t
 ry out\nYes to feeling like home & come as you are\nYes to unity\, love an
 d respect for one another\nYes to eating\, drinking and music\nYes to ever
 yone-is-welcome & always-free events\nYES to UNITY! Getting along with eac
 h other in spite of different opinions\n.\nOur events are inspired by the 
 Greek village culture of "Καφενείο" (village coffeeshops) with photos HERE
 . When myself Christos was a kid\, my granddad took me to these "Καφενείο"
 . Every neighbourhood had one\, and people met\, without an exaggeration\,
  on a daily-basis. It was the community center of the village. People met 
 new and old friends\, played games\, socialised\, ate snacks\, drank coffe
 e and ouzo. It was a very friendly\, welcoming and homey environment. Unfo
 rtunately this concept is rapidly dying in Greece. As a kid I had extremel
 y good memories of these coffeeshops\, and for this reason I am passionate
  to revive and recreate this environment and also add a modern twist. Hope
  you enjoy it!\n.\n\nWHAT is NOT Connection Space? NOT a drinks or party e
 vent (responsible drinking only\, no shots\, no free drinks). NOT a dating
  event. NOT foreigners-only\, but everyone is welcome\nWhat KIND of event 
 is this? Its a mix of social and cultural event that build community. We h
 ave many people from so many different cultures socialising\, we promote c
 ulture with events with Art exhibitions and Live Music and we also revive 
 the social culture of the Greek traditional village coffeeshop (Καφενείο -
  read more above).\nWHO? Wir wollen gerne mehr Schweizer/innen dabei haben
 ! Alle sind willkommen und die meisten können Deutsch sprechen. Not an exp
 at event. Everyone welcome!\nMindful Connection Games: from The School of 
 Life available: Confessions Game\, The Friendship Game\, Connection Game\,
  The Loser Game\, Games for grown-ups and three sets of "100 questions" (C
 onversation Toolkit & Careers & Relationships)\nFun Social Games: bring yo
 ur own board/card games or choose from: Cards against humanity\, Exploding
  Kittens\, Codenames\, Debatable\, Sotally Tober\, Taboo\, Mafia\, Uno\, M
 onopoly and more.\n\n.\nLooking forward to fun quality Connections! 🙂
