Goal of the Activity

The Speed Friending event aimed to create a welcoming environment for Erasmus students to break the ice, meet new people, and form early friendships at the beginning of the semester.
Through short, structured conversations—supported by volunteers and guided question cards—the goal was to encourage interaction, reduce social anxiety, and help participants connect with others from different backgrounds.
The after-party served as a more relaxed continuation, allowing participants to strengthen the bonds formed during the activity.

Description

his is your time to shine! you will only have a couple of minutes. Ready to meet your friends? Get ready, Get Set, GO!

Whether you are shy or the life of the party, you will need people to help you experience this semester to the max! (see what I did there?). Anyway, this event is meant for all of you out there looking to start socializing and meet new people! How are we going to do that, I hear you ask? Well, with Speed friending, it's kind of like that concept, speed dating from the movies but for friends! You will only have a couple of minutes to get to know a person until you switch and get matched with a new one! Oh and don’t worry if you don’t know what to talk about we have prepared questions for you but feel free to make the conversation your own!

Don’t forget to stay for the after party! Can’t wait, see you there!
