Join Us
Under the motto Join us, you are very welcome, people have a wide choice of activities such as walking together, eating together, having coffee, playing games, or listening to music. The goal of the Week of Encounter is to create more connections between people. Because half of the people in Maastricht sometimes feel lonely. Through low-threshold encounters during this week, new contacts and a stronger community are created.
Councilor Jeroen Hoenderkamp: “The Week of Encounter is an accessible way to meet new people. Its especially nice if these are people who, like you, enjoy walking, eating together, music, or theater. So join our free activities and meet new people. Because together is more fun than alone.”
