Sat, Nov 7, 2:00 AMLooking to meet new people in Melbourne, practise a language, or simply enjoy a relaxed coffee and some friendly conversations? ☕🌏 Join **Melbourne Global Circle** for another afternoon of coffee, conversation, language exchange and making new friends from around the world. This event is perfect if you’re **new to Melbourne, an international student, on a working holiday or temporary visa, recently moved here, or simply looking to expand your social circle and meet people from different cultures.** You don’t need to be fluent in another language, and you definitely don’t need to come with a friend. Many people come to these events on their own. **⏰ 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM** **📍 The Alley Edition — 20 Howey Pl, Melbourne VIC 3000** **📍 Meeting Point** **The Alley Edition** 20 Howey Pl, Melbourne VIC 3000 The café is located in the **fully covered Howey Place laneway**, so we won’t have to worry too much about Melbourne’s unpredictable rain or wind. We can grab a takeaway coffee and enjoy our conversations in the sheltered laneway whatever the weather decides to do! The café itself is quite small and may be busy, so we’ll mostly be **standing, mingling and chatting in the lovely historic laneway outside the café.** **☕ How the meetup works** To make conversations easier and give everyone an opportunity to speak and get to know each other, we’ll split into **smaller groups of around 6–8 people**. You’re welcome to move between groups during the meetup so you can meet different people. There’ll be plenty of opportunities to: ☕ Enjoy coffee, matcha and relaxed conversation 🌏 Meet people from different countries and cultures 🗣️ Practise English or another language 🤝 Make new friends in Melbourne 😊 Meet others who may also be coming alone **Coming alone or feeling a little shy?** Absolutely fine. If you’re **introverted, shy, new to Meetup, or attending your first social event**, feel free to come and say hi to me (my name is Liem) when you arrive. I’ll be happy to introduce you to a few people and help you get into a conversation. You definitely won’t be the only person coming alone. There’s **no formal networking and no pressure to be super outgoing or speak perfect English**. Just come as you are, grab a coffee and join the conversation. The goal is simple: **have some good conversations, meet a few new people, and hopefully leave with some new friends in Melbourne.** 🌏 Come alone or bring a friend — everyone is welcome. Looking forward to meeting you! ☕🌏🤝
