Meeting strangers: Holiday special

Connect with new people and have meaningful conversations at The School of Life. Have you ever had a conversation with a stranger that you’ll never forget? A conversation where you felt a deep connection in a short time? A conversation that made you look at the world in a different way? A conversation in which you not only met another person, but also discovered something new about yourself? We often think these moments are rare, a matter of coincidence or luck. Our premise is that under the right circumstances, these conversations are far less accidental than we assume. All it takes is people we don’t yet know, a relaxed atmosphere and good questions. This Holiday Special begins with a warm Christmas-style breakfast from there, we move into guided connection using The Conversation Menu to open playful, curious exchanges and afterwards The Therapy Game, which brings more depth and reflection. Throughout the afternoon, you will rotate through multiple 10-minute conversations with a variety of people regardless of age, background, relationship status or gender, anyone can take part. The facilitator offers surprising prompts that help you move beyond small talk and into real human contact. You may learn something meaningful about others and very likely about yourself too. Note: this is an open space for people to meet strangers; it is not a dating event.
