English Conversation Games #20
2022-12-15 18:00 - 20:00 UTC | Brno Expat Centre, Orlí 3, Brno, 60200, Czech Republic
This is a structured event focused on practicing spoken English. We are introvert-friendly: all participants always know whom to talk to and what about.
You can join free of charge and only contribute with voluntary donation if you gain value from the event.
HOW IT WORKS:
We are going to go through a series of interconnected playful activities – each of them requires at least basic level in creativity and spoken communication. During these activities, you are going to produce cards (you need a pen for that) which form a card game. After the “hard work”, we are going to enjoy playing the game you have created as a group.
HOW TO FIND US:
When entering through the gate, go to the right and find stairs. Climb to 2nd floor (Metal Shop is on 1st, keep going!). When high enough, turn to the left and you will see door to Expat Centre. However, there is another door a bit to the right – this is your magical entry spot to Narnia!
TO MAKE IT AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE:
1. Mark your attendance at least one day ahead as preparation of the activities depends on the number of participants.
2. Be on time to enjoy all activities and to see how they relate. You cannot enter after 7 PM as the building is closed.
3. Don’t worry about your English level. If you could read this far and you understood everything, you’re all set to go!

By participating, you agree to becoming famous as we are going to take pictures which may be used on social media.

Board Games in English S01E11
2022-12-01 18:00 - 20:00 | Brno Expat Centre, Orlí 3, Brno, 60200, Czech Republic
A friendly event to play your own board games with your friends and other enthusiasts.
You can join free of charge and only contribute with voluntary donation if you gain value from the event.
HOW IT WORKS:
To smoothen the process, we create gaming groups before the event starts. You are required to do ONE of these 2 actions:
bring your own or ask for a community game and post its name and number of players into the event (the game needs to be in English or language independent); or
if there are empty slots with games of others, join a gaming group by liking the post – up to the stated highest number of players.
LEADER: If you are the one posting the name of the game, you are required to explain the rules to the others in your group.
HOW TO FIND US:
When entering through the gate, go to the right and find stairs. Climb to 2nd floor (Metal Shop is on 1st, keep going!). When high enough, turn to the left and you will see door to Expat Centre. However, there is another door a bit to the right – this is where magic happens!
HOW TO BEHAVE:
1. Pick your game ahead of the event. This ensures you a game to play as well as co-players. Upon your arrival, sit to your table and play – this way you avoid all unnecessary organisational steps and long, boring studying of the rules.
2. Be on time or inform your co-players about any delay so they know whether they can start playing without you. After 7 PM the door to the building closes so you are not going to be able to enter.
3. Snacks are allowed, alcohol is not.

What a great way to finish the two extra days of freedom playing games and chatting!
Let’s enjoy the sun and meet up in Lužánky park (map on the event wall). Bring a blanket to sit on and your own board game which you would like to share with other members.
If you bring a game:
– let us know about it so there is a game ready for every player,
– preferably pick one for at least 4 players and with gaming time about 45 min per game (or less),
– be ready to explain the rules or tell us what game you are brining so we can study the rules beforehand and help you out,
– you earn extra points for a game which requires communication among the players.

Hello everyone
This is the last official meetup in June!
We are going to enjoy the sun while playing games in English in the park (Slovanské náměstí) again.
There is no need to bring anything special, but notebook and a pen are always an advantage. So is a blanket to sit on.
The meetup is structured so that everyone has a conversation partner and gets to speak.
Games are not always board games, but rather communication-based, often improving soft skills such as problem solving, negotiating, deduction, analytical thinking, etc.
