Empty Chairs: pull up a chair, and meet someone new!
Empty Chairs is a community initiative that started in the UK around a simple idea: no one has to sit alone. It's all about creating a friendly space where anyone can pull up a chair, feel welcome, and have a conversation.
Rob has been hosting Empty Chairs Oslo for the last few months and is excited to bring the concept to Welcome Week.
Whether you've recently moved to Oslo or have lived here for years, you're invited to pull up a chair, grab a drink, and join the conversation. There are no expectations, no awkward networking, and no pressure—just a friendly atmosphere where everyone is welcome.
We have an empty chair waiting for you. 💙
Good to know:
The event is free to attend.
Food and drinks are available for purchase from the venue.
Both English and Norwegian are welcome languages, so don't worry if you're more comfortable speaking one than the other.
🇳🇴 Litt på norsk...
Har du lyst til å møte nye mennesker over en hyggelig prat? Kom gjerne innom! Du trenger ikke å kjenne noen fra før – det er bare å sette seg ned, ta en kaffe eller noe å drikke, og bli med i samtalen. Alle er velkomne.
