Create a meetup

Member-created meetup proposals

Proposals appear when a member publishes one; some cities may have none. For organised activities with source links, use the Berlin collection or local organiser directories. A proposal or interested mark does not confirm attendance.

Meet safely

For a first meeting, choose a public place, keep your own transport options, tell someone you trust where you are going and leave if the situation feels uncomfortable.

Meetups: useful, public and low-pressure

Kindred Meetups helps adults discover or create small social plans such as coffee, walks, language exchange, parent meetups and games. Meetup descriptions and participant names can be provided by community members, so check the details yourself before attending. A listing on Kindred is not an endorsement of an organiser, venue or participant.

For a first meeting, choose a public place, tell someone you trust where you are going, keep control of your own transport and avoid posting an exact home address, phone number or other sensitive information. If a meetup or user appears unsafe, misleading, abusive or inappropriate, leave the situation and report the concern through Kindred.

Kindred may review or remove community content that violates its rules. Meetups are for adult friendship and community activities, not dating or emergency assistance.

How a Kindred meetup works

Choose a simple activity that makes conversation easier: coffee, a short walk, a language exchange, a parent-friendly public activity or a casual game. Keep the first plan small and specific so people know what they are joining.

Use only city-level information in the public listing. After people show interest, agree the exact public venue and practical details without sharing home addresses or other sensitive information. Hosts should describe the activity accurately and avoid promises about who will attend.

Joining a meetup is always optional. Participants can change their mind, leave early or decline further contact. Kindred does not verify every host or participant, so use your own judgment and follow the safety guidance for public first meetings.
