CANCELLED: Easter Picnic Groningen

Connect International Event in Groningen

Date: Friday 7 April 2023 at 12:00 hrs

Location: Noorderplantsoen Park

Event Registration closes at: 2023-04-06 12:00

This event is cancelled due to the rainy weather forecast. We will do an International Food Picnic on late April or May on a sunny day! Please check our calendar :)

Our Easter picnic is back again this year!

Bring your own traditional dishes from home and a picnic blanket and join us for a festive afternoon in the park! This kid-friendly event will also feature an Easter egg hunt (with wooden eggs) and egg-decorating activities.

This gathering is meant to be an international celebration, so we encourage you to share your favorite holidays foods in “finger food” sizes (easy to eat with your hands and no cutlery). Bringing beverages to share is also welcome, and we ask that you bring your own thermoses and cups so we can leave the park as clean as we found.

This event does depend on the weather, but we encourage bringing an umbrella in any case – for sun or rain!

"My husband and I came to Groningen two years ago for his studies. At first, I had absolutely no acquaintance here. I felt lost, not knowing where to go, who to meet, nor what to do. I first found out about the Connect through the Coffee Morning. Everyone seemed very nice and welcoming. They all understood what I was going through. Since being expats themselves, most of them also went through this process when they arrived here. Then I started to join other workshops, such as culinary workshop, beauty workshop, etc. I learned many different cultures and I also dare to say that I met most wonderful bunch of friends here at Connect. The IWCN and Connect have helped me through my difficult times being a lost expat, and helped me settle down and have a feeling of ‘home’ here in Groningen."

"I moved to the Netherlands in 2010 to join my Dutch boyfriend (now husband). After nearly two years of trying to integrate into Dutch society I hit a low point, feeling lonely and isolated. That was when I learnt about Connect International and signed up to be a member. I started by attending the Coffee Mornings, then volunteered to help set up the Crafts Club and gave a few workshops about building WordPress websites (as I work as a freelance web developer). Connect (and its members) gave me friendship and support at a time when I needed it, and I hope to do the same for others in a similar position."

"Connect International Groningen really helped me feel at home in the Netherlands. The Culinary Connect class was the first thing I did in Groningen...2 days after I arrived! I also attended the coffee morning every 2 weeks. I met my best friends at Connect coffee! Another favorite activity is the Film Club. I am able to see English movies in English and it makes me feel connected to home! I have also participated in some of the specialty events...German dinner and beer tasting and wine and cheese nights! Connect is such an easy way to make friends, learn more about Groningen, stay active, and go to some really cool places I would have never known about otherwise! Where else can you go and be surrounded by wonderful people from all over the world?"
