What to Expect at a Friendzone Event
Hello friends! Some of you may be wondering: “What happens at a ✨Friendzone event✨?”
“What activities will I be doing?”
“Who will I meet?”
“What if things get awkward?”
Well, we're here to help! Here are 5 things you can expect when you attend a Friendzone event from the perspective of two Friendzone interns, facilitators and seasoned event participants: Claudia and Petra!
1) Potential new friends!
Whether it’s meeting people for the first time or coincidentally finding someone from your old primary school, there’s always room for discovering new friendships at our events! Just think of the event as a way to kickstart a friendship journey! Meeting someone is just the first step to getting to know a friend for the future 😄
2) Connecting over meaningful conversations
Want to get to know your neighbours but don’t know where to start? Fret not, we’ve got just the solution!
Our neighbourhood gatherings are the perfect platform for you to connect with your neighbours over meaningful conversations. Get to know the people living in your ‘hood by sharing your interests, hobbies, and experiences!
You'll be spending the first 30 minutes getting to know one another through a short icebreaker activity! Then, we'll break into smaller groups for an hour in order to get to know each other better. During this time, you'll have the opportunity to share more about yourself and ask your fellows neighbours questions. Don't worry about awkward silences — our conversation cards will help you along and let you get to know people in a fun and easy way!
3) Friendly FZ staff and facilitators!
You need to be part of a good community in order to build a good community, and Friendzone peeps are no exception! The Friendzone staff and Community Facilitators are here to make sure your time at a Friendzone event is nothing less than an enriching and fun one~
You can think of us as potential new friends too!
Feel free to approach any of us if you have any queries before, during, or after the event and we’ll be sure to guide you — we don’t bite (unless it’s a good makan recommendation) 😋
4) Delicious food and snacks!
What would an event be without some good food? We provide delicious food and drinks at our events so that our participants have enough energy to have fun! We mostly hold our events in the evenings, so we usually cater dinner for our participants. Occasionally, we host afternoon events and offer teatime goodies such as bread, cakes or cookies!
5) It doesn’t end there…
In the final 30 minutes of the session, we'll be closing in the larger group setting and letting you know what happens post-event!
Your conversations don’t have to end here! Feel free to exchange contacts or social media handles and invite your new pals for supper and keep the convos going.
At Friendzone, we hope to create thriving communities across Singapore where individuals feel connected with one another and live fulfilled lives. We hope to bring diverse people together at events and spark conversations that lead to new connections, friendships and collaborations!
Sign up for one of our upcoming events! You'll be glad you did 😊
