Platonic Speed Dating - in the Greenhouse!
Thursday, September 12th, 5:00pm until 7:00pm
Concordia Greenhouse, 1455 de Maisonneuve West
This exercise consists of spending 5 minutes talking to a series of strangers. With the goal of breaking down social barriers, this community-building event allows participants to meet others randomly, regardless of age, race, sexuality and all those pesky ISMs that prevent us from talking to one another.
Strangers seem a lot less strange and intimidating once you`ve spent 5 minutes talking to them. Meet other friendly folks who like plants! Expand your community circle.
This event is open to francophones, anglophones, allophones, but not telephones.
Weekly dinners at Coop-Sur-Généreux and participating locations
Thursday, September 12th, 6:00pm until 9:00pm
Coop Généreux, Papineau at Genereux
Weekly dinners at Coop-Sur-Généreux and participating locations.
This project’s purpose is to create connections between living spaces in Montréal. Currently, there are many projects and living spaces that promote communal and alternative living. We hope that creating liasons between these spaces will not only improve the existing networks, but allow each space to grow stronger by learning and sharing with the others. The growth of one’s community allows greater accessibility to new projects and events within the city of Montreal.
Coop sur Généreux proposes having weekly dinners with food that is dumsptered from our surrounding neighbourhoods. The purpose for such dinners is simple. People get together and eat. Building stronger ties with other coops and similar places may create a type of Montréal where everyone knows one another and allows the city to feel like a large community.
The idea is to have dinners hosted at different locations every week in order not to overburden a particular home. Also, this way we may be able to visit other people’s homes and possibly get to know other neighbourhoods.
Coop sur Généreux currently hosts several events a week and are looking to host dinners on either a Tuesday or Thursday. For consistency, we believe that dinners should be held on the same night every week.
Everyone is invited to join in and feast. A FB event/ or email may be a good idea in order to spread the word. Ideally, people would be willing to help out with dumspter diving and preparing the food. The intentions are to have people participate in the process and not necessarily for the hosting home to prepare everything for everyone.
Come join us for a great meal, great conversations and great times among new and old friends.
