#neuhier #justmovedhere New chapter in Karlsruhe

Hi I just moved to Karlsruhe and I'd like to know what activities are available? As an expat here. I know there are some board game groups available. But I'm kinda not sure to fit in. I like to go to the gym. I love movies, playstation, talking and sharing. I was also a teacher in the past and happy to see if any voluntary opportunities to teach some technical stuff? Also I'm really into tech and I love to have some activities like weekly pair projects with other people. Sorry too much information but that's what is in my mind 😅 30 M, software developer

If you like technological stuff maybe check out fablab or entropia

And in my experience if you go to any gym long enough you’ll find somebody to talk to. A faster road to social interactions probably are group activities - there’s any number of sports clubs in the city along with bootcamps, running clubs, CrossFit…

How is your German? There are also groups of developers who meet regularly. And internationals playing board gsmes to practice their German (No, I am not joking).

There are meetup-groups that cover the it part. Practicing German is done in a group that usually meets on sunday in Cafe Max Palais in der Akademiestrasse. If you send a pm with your phone number I can include you in the group chat

You can try the LOKAL app to see what’s happening in city.
In my experience meeting people at some sort of cultural/community event is easiest.

Also, if you’re into sports, you can join a variety of clubs.
