How do I meet people in Geneva?
When we asked people living in Geneva about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:
"Expats in Geneva often join clubs and activities such as language classes, sports teams, and cultural events. Expats can also meet people by attending local festivals, joining meetup groups, or attending networking events. Additionally, many expats find it helpful to join online forums and social media groups related to their interests. This can be a great way to connect with other expats and locals in the area," said one person in Geneva.
"I would recommend Toastmasters. It is a network of associations which are present in most big cities almost everywhere in the world. You meet there in order to practice your public speaking skills, which is at the same time fun and interesting. It is a great opportunity to meet nice and interesting people from various countries and to make friends. You can find a club near you at www.toastmasters.org," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Geneva.
