★ Afterwork Social Game ★ Ⓜ️ Canal st Martin
*Hi there! 😊*
🎉 An evening to relax, have fun… and meet new people!
Want to unwind after your day? Come and share a fun and friendly moment around board games with an open and welcoming community. This afterwork is dedicated to board games, strategy games, and even video games, where internationals and Parisians meet! Everyone can bring or suggest a game, or use the ones available at the bar.
💬 **Concept**
It’s a reimagined afterwork, where internationals and Parisians meet to chat or play all kinds of games, with a fun icebreaker bonus. Ask around and find the person with the same numbered sticker as you to win a free shot, all in a bar in the heart of Paris.
Arrive whenever you want, but the earlier you come, the more you enjoy suspenseful games!

Become a volunteer!
🍷 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.

🍷 ¿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.

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! For this event, we’ll help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents, wash dishes and clean surfaces at Fath Mission – Grant Kitchen. We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. Our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.

I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve.
THANK YOU: This CMG Gives Back event provides an opportunity for YOU to get involved in helping others! Benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering provides a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need.
PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities.
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
