🍷 ¿Por qué ser voluntario? Te invitamos a unirte a nuestro equipo de voluntarios para organizar actividades divertidas mientras disfrutas de una bebida gratuita, ¡un pequeño beneficio, pero todo está avanzando porque queremos apoyar a los organizadores! Para los organizadores, la primera bebida es gratis. Es una gran oportunidad para conocer gente nueva, practicar diferentes idiomas y discutir cómo podrías, si lo deseas, contribuir al desarrollo del proyecto Socializus. Ya seas diseñador gráfico, desarrollador o quieras mejorar tus habilidades en comunicación, organización de eventos u otro ámbito, eres bienvenido. Nuestro objetivo es simple: apoyar a los organizadores y fomentar encuentros amistosos e intercambios lingüísticos. Con el tiempo, nuestra comunidad se ha convertido en la más grande de París, y estamos encantados de reunir a personas de diferentes orígenes para compartir momentos geniales. Nuestra iniciativa está impulsada por una asociación sin fines de lucro. Esto significa que avanzamos despacio, con los recursos que tenemos, pero siempre con la voluntad de crear conexiones y apoyar a los organizadores que desean desarrollar eventos similares. **Información práctica:** 🕖 A partir de las 20:30 💸 ¡Gratis con el pase Socializus! 📲 WhatsApp para información rápida: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/IVuEzaPwe0h4iRHglUZWoa](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IVuEzaPwe0h4iRHglUZWoa) **Cómo participar:** Consulta la dirección exacta con la app gratuita y el pase gratuito: [www.socializus.org](http://www.socializus.org) O apoya a la asociación con una tarjeta de membresía anual: [https://www.placeminute.com/event/afterwork/apero-linguistique-dans-un-bar-secret,36046.html](https://www.placeminute.com/event/afterwork/apero-linguistique-dans-un-bar-secret,36046.html) **Mantente conectado:** 🔹 Meetup – [https://www.meetup.com/fiesta-latina-paris](https://www.meetup.com/fiesta-latina-paris/)/ 🔹 WhatsApp (info y recordatorios del día): [https://chat.whatsapp.com/IVuEzaPwe0h4iRHglUZWoa](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IVuEzaPwe0h4iRHglUZWoa) (Activa “Recibir todo” para no perderte nada) 🔹 Grupo de Facebook – [https://www.facebook.com/paris.fiesta.latina/](https://www.facebook.com/paris.fiesta.latina/) 🔹 Página de Facebook – Fotos, recuerdos y noticias: [https://www.facebook.com/paris.fiesta.latina/](https://www.facebook.com/paris.fiesta.latina/) 🔹 Socializus: [www.socializus.org](http://www.socializus.org) 🔹 Conviértete en organizador: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/KtR79S8Obfs3WTPTIBsoCm](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KtR79S8Obfs3WTPTIBsoCm) ✦✦ Pueden ocurrir cambios de última hora, pero todo se actualiza a través de la app con el pase gratuito.

French and English Language Exchange at Les Berthom

French and English Language Exchange at Les Berthom

Sun, May 17, 4:00 PM
From The English Gengoffee - Apéro Franco-English
4.7

🇫🇷 Bonjour ! J’espère que tout le monde va bien ! 😁 Nous revoilà pour un événement d’échange de Langue Franco-Anglais et de la bonne humeur : * Dimanche à "Les Berthom" : 35 Boulevard Voltaire, 75011 Paris à 18H00, prix de la participation à 10€. Proche des stations République(Métro 3, 5, 8, 9, 11) et Oberkampf(Métro 5, 9). Une boisson vous sera offerte parmi la carte du bar ! 🍻 L’entrée au bar se fait à partir de 17H50. Le concept de l’événement est celui qui suit : * La durée totale de l’événement est de 2 heures, divisée en 3 sessions. À chaque session, des tables de 4 ou 5 personnes seront composées, avec au minimum 2 Français et 2 Étrangers par table. Et pendant cette session, il y aura 15 minutes de conversation en Français et 15 minutes de conversation en Anglais. À la fin de chaque session, les tables changent afin de vous faire rencontrer d’autres personnes ! Nos événements ont pour but de favoriser les échanges linguistiques, culturels et la création de liens sociaux amicaux et/ou professionnels ! Nos événements n’ont pas pour vocations d’être des speed-dating, nous trouvons cela important de le préciser et nous serons strict sur le respect de cette mention. ^^ En espérant vous voir très bientôt ! 🇬🇧 Hello ! We hope everyone’s doing good ! 😁 We're back for a French & English language exchange event : * Sunday at "Les Berthom" : 35 Boulevard Voltaire, 75011 Paris, starting at 6:00PM. For a 10€ fee. Close to the Metro station République (Métro 3, 5, 8, 9 & 11) and Oberkampf (Métro 5 & 9). A drink will be offered from the Bar's Menu !🍻 We’ll start the check-in at 5:50PM. The concept of the event is : * The whole event lasts 2 hours, subdivided in 4 sessions of 30 minutes. In each session, tables of 4 to 8 persons will be formed equally between foreigners and French (2/3 Foreigners and 2/3 French). In these sessions, there will be 15 minutes of French conversation followed by 15 minutes of English conversation. At the end of the 30 minutes, we’ll switch the tables and you’ll be placed on a new table with new persons (Hence, you’ll meet at least 9 to 12 different persons in an event) ! The purpose of the event is mainly focused on the language and cultural exchange, on top of creating friendly and professional links ! These events are not intended to be speed-datings, which is important to be precise and we plan to be strict about this point. ^^ We hope to see you soon !

🍷 Why become a volunteer? We invite you to join our team of volunteers to organize fun activities while enjoying a free drink, a small perk, but things are moving forward as we aim to support organizers. For organizers, the first drink is free! It’s a great opportunity to meet new people, practice different languages, and discuss how you can, if you wish, contribute to the evolution of the Socializus project. Whether you’re a graphic designer, a developer, or looking to develop your skills in communication, event planning, or another field, you’re welcome. Our goal is simple: support organizers and promote friendly meetups and language exchanges. Over time, our community has grown to become the largest in Paris, and we’re thrilled to bring together people from diverse backgrounds to share great moments. Our initiative is driven by a non-profit association. This means we move forward slowly, with the resources we have, but always with the desire to create connections and support organizers who want to develop similar events. **Practical Info:** 🕖 From 9:30 PM 💸 Free with the Socializus pass on the free app! 📲 WhatsApp for quick info:[https://chat.whatsapp.com/IVuEzaPwe0h4iRHglUZWoa](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IVuEzaPwe0h4iRHglUZWoa) **How to participate:** Check the exact address with the free app and free pass:[www.socializus.org](http://www.socializus.org) Or support the association with an annual membership card:[https://www.placeminute.com/event/afterwork/apero-linguistique-dans-un-bar-secret,36046.html](https://www.placeminute.com/event/afterwork/apero-linguistique-dans-un-bar-secret,36046.html) **Stay connected:** 🔹 Meetup –[https://www.meetup.com/internationals-events-paris/](https://www.meetup.com/internationals-events-paris/) 🔹 WhatsApp (info & day-of reminders):[https://chat.whatsapp.com/IVuEzaPwe0h4iRHglUZWoa](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IVuEzaPwe0h4iRHglUZWoa) (Activate “Receive all” to stay in the loop!) 🔹 Facebook Group –[https://www.facebook.com/socializing.with.internationals.in.Paris/](https://www.facebook.com/socializing.with.internationals.in.Paris/) 🔹 Facebook Page – Photos, memories, and updates:[ ](https://www.facebook.com/groups/afterwork.paris)[https://www.facebook.com/socializing.with.internationals.in.Paris/](https://www.facebook.com/socializing.with.internationals.in.Paris/) 🔹 Socializus:[www.socializus.org](http://www.socializus.org) 🔹 Become an Organizer:[https://chat.whatsapp.com/KtR79S8Obfs3WTPTIBsoCm](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KtR79S8Obfs3WTPTIBsoCm) ✦✦ Last-minute changes can happen, but everything is updated via the app with the free pass.

Afterwork drinks for Impact

Afterwork drinks for Impact

Wed, May 20, 5:30 PM
From School for Moral Ambition - Paris Community

Do you have a solid resume and a great job, but something feels off? Are you using your talents for a good cause? Or has the world not really become a better place when you've checked off your to-do lists? ​​We are gathering a group of Paris-based people curious about how they can use their life to have more impact. We are inspired by the principles of moral ambition (link below), but all people who care about making a difference are welcome! ​​This will be an informal afterwork. No long speeches or intense networking. Just honest conversations over a drink with people who are asking the same questions you are. ​​ This event is organised by the Paris community inspired by the organisation The **School for Moral Ambition** ([moralambition.org](https://moralambition.org/?utm_source=luma)), a movement founded by Dutch historian and author **Rutger Bregman**. His argument is simple and a little uncomfortable: our brightest minds are wasting their talents. SMA exists to change that by helping people redirect their careers toward the problems that actually need solving. Think ending factory farming, fight against tobacco, strengthen democracy, global health, human rights. ​​The community now has more than **25,000 members in over 150 countries**. During the event, it will be possible to register for the circle program, a discussion based community program that aims to give you the tools to change your life towards a more impactful path. ​​In more communal terms, we are now building the Parisian community by launching the **first series of afterwork in central Paris. 🍷** ​​**Come if you:** * ​​Have been wondering whether your work could mean more * ​​Want to meet people who actually want to do something about it * ​​Are curious about what "moral ambition" looks like in practice * ​​Just want good conversation with people who are motivated by positive change. * ​​Wish to grow your network! ​​🍷 Drinks are on you. We keep it that way on purpose. It helps us gather people who are here for the connection, not a free bar. ​​ Spots are limited, but feel very free to bring someone who you think should be in this room! ​​If you have any questions about the event or our activities, contact the host of the event.
