Together in Jena

Graphic: Together in Jena“Do you like to discover beautiful places around Jena but your friends are super lazy? Then join our hiking group.”
Actually, frequently new people join and we get to know to new people on every event.The group was initial at Feb 2017 as a hiking group, but since the type of activities is diverse increased and not limited anymore to hikes, we changed the name of the group in Together in Jena and now the hiking activities are a part of the main group.
We try to mix with new people and to avoid making small groups with our friends or people from our country. Sometimes we have introduction rounds and small games to support the integration. Usually we easily come closer, find new friends and even relationships were made. Also it is typical to share the food we bring while having breaks outdoors.
