Meet new friends groups near Taipei, TW

Hello!

I am a young professional new to Taipei and wanted to make some new friends. This group is basically for food lovers and people who like to network. We will pick delicious places to eat and meet up for those of us wanting good food and company!

Please only RSVP if you plan on coming to the events! If you say youre going, please do try to come or change your rsvp so I can plan reservations accordingly. Also, please have a profile picture when joining the group, ones without will be removed as Im only allowed 50 people!

New Work (after the concept of Fritjof Bergmann) currently is a huge topic for European and American businesses.

New Work is a business movement that strives to create a better economy through a more humane, productive and effective way of people working (in organizations) – a new kind of work.

It includes but is not limited to:
- more flexible, dynamic and empowering decentralized organizational structures (network of teams, holacracy, sociocracy 3.0 and others) applied by companies such as Spotify, Haier, Handelsbanken, Buurtzorg etc.

- operational practices of innovation and agility such as design thinking, lean, scrum, agile project management

- new ways of leadership that empowers people to thrive instead of telling people what to do. In short leaders that treat adults like adult people.

- personal journeys of finding out what one “really really wants” to do in life and work

For 3 years I have been organizing the New Work Meetup in Munich Germany with over 1000 members and I hope to start a discussion in Taiwan.

This meetup is for all working in organizations who are interested in knowing more, sharing, experiencing and experimenting together.

Hello, cultural adventurers. 🙂 Thank you for opening our page. 

【WHO WE ARE】

This group is a diverse community of people with varieties of cultural backgrounds. We welcome you in the group regardless of your gender, age, religious orientation, nationality and race/ethnicity. 

【WHAT WE DO】

We meet up and have fun together mostly in Taipei and cultivate good relationship among the members. We usually have dinner, lunch, coffee/tea, drink together in casual settings and enjoy friendly chat. We are not a party group (I personally don't like noisy party-type meetups), so we tend to choose quiet places to gather. Easier to talk to each other in this way.  

What we do in the group is very flexible. We can also do language exchange, offer cultural studies, go for hiking, play board games, make a short trip, learn Mandarin, English and Japanese, etc. Please let us know if you have any suggestions/preferances.

We try to make each gathering small enough so that all the participants can get to know each other. We normally keep the size around 10-20 people for each meetup. 

【WHY "GOOD FRIENDS JAPAN"?】

The group name “Good Friends Japan” simply comes from a Japanese company Good Friends Japan in Sapporo. The company sponsors our events occasionally in Taiwan.

The group members aren't necessarily expected to be interested in Japanese cultures. Good Friends Japan is just a name. We are an inclusive intercultural group from any countries and mainly use English, Mandarin Chinese and Japanese as our communication languages.

【OUR POLICY】

We have zero-tolerance policies on harassments. We will intervene when we see any harassments going on, and issues will go to professionals if needed. Please cooperate us so that all the members can feel secured.

We have to say this to especially male members: our events are not dating meetups. If you are here for "hunting" ladies and make other members overly uncomfortable, we will show you the door and make you leave immediately even in the midst of meetup events. Remember, the organizers have all rights to remove you from the group. 

We expect members in the group to behave as responsible adults. Please be considerate and pay respect to other people so we all can create a caring and respectful community.

【日本語】

質問などがありましたら、僕宛に日本語で大丈夫です。参加者はある程度の日本語を話す人が多く、英語ネイティブの参加者たちも日本語が話せる人がほとんどです。日本語、中国語、英語の三つの言語で交流する会で、英語が苦手な人の参加もお待ちしています。

Please join us for new good friends if you’re an intercultural explorer. We look forward to meeting you all. 🙂
