Dear all,

Happy New Year - hope you all entered 2023 in good health!

2023 also means January in Denmark and can be very dark and dull.

Remember to "self care" - maybe with one of the below events :)

Calling internationals/repats in Vejle!

We are planing a brainstorm on expat/repat offers in Vejle - to talk about what can be offered from Newcomer Service and which ideas could it be possible for the community to "run with" yourselves.

Let's meet and talk about ideas, e.g. a buddy program, workshops with professional information, social gatherings etc.

This is your chance to bring your ideas to the table...

We are aiming for a date in February - most likely the 9th.


	Sign up to join the brainstorm!

Board games for all - from January 10th

Drop in offer: come and play board games at Vejle Library!

It's a good way to get to know other people, it's a nice way to be together, it is competition but it can also be cooperation, it's play, it's tactics, it's good brain exercise.

For "Board games for all", you just show up and find a board game together with others. Everyone is welcome! Maybe a good chance to practice your Danish!

Every other Tuesday from 10-12. Look at the screen at the library entrance to see where you will meet.

Feel free to bring a board game from home or let yourself be challenged and find a board game in the library's collection and learn to play a new board game!

No registration needed - just show up!

Together Vejle! - again from January 19th

Monthly social meet-ups for Internationals and friends at Spinderihallerne.

Feeling like you belong somewhere takes time and is full of complexity....

The process of finding WHERE and HOW we belong in the community is a long rollercoaster journey of twists and turns, highs and lows. But one thing's for sure...it's a whole lot easier if we do it together. Here's to the journey ️and being on it together!! ️
