FTST has traveled the world from Berlin, London, Lisbon, Mexico City, to Lisbon and is now coming to Geneva! 🇨🇭

📦 WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
FTST is a one-of-a-kind social experience where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also just a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!

Join us for an evening of games, talks, and connections with friends you haven’t met yet. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you have been in Geneva every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life then this is the place for you. 🙌

🎈 HOW DOES IT WORK?
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. Don't worry, nothing too awkward! After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You’ll never have to speak in public if you don’t want to!

🕹 HOW TO JOIN?

💛 WHAT THEY SAY
🗣 “Great way to connect with people in a more meaningful way. Get to the heart of the matter, dive straight into what really counts!” - Matthias

🗣 “This is the kind of activity humanity needs every weekend. Thank you for all.” - Sonya

🗣 “F*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.” - Monika

🗣 “I loved F*ck the small talk, I was a little bit nervous at first but they are pros at making you feel comfortable with the rest of the group, the activities are really fun and I enjoyed every second (consider that the one who's saying this is very, very shy). Give it a try!” - Brenda

🗣 "it’s a wonderful experience, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe you’ll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara

🗣 “Lively, interesting, introspective, completely open and no judgement. Everyone that joined was ready for great conversation and helped with different perspectives. So much fun! I can't wait for the next one! “ - Yaz

🤓 FAQ
• Can I come alone?
Of course, in fact, we encourage it!

• Can I be late?
Please don't! "Doors" open at 18:45 and we start at exactly 19:00! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow.

• I signed up but never got an invite. Why?
We usually get a high volume of sign-ups yet we like to keep it cozy & only invite around 25ish people. We believe this is a good number to ensure an awesome experience! Please try again next time if do not receive an invite - no hard feelings 💛

• Why do you charge?
We value our time and put a lot of love, planning, and effort into creating & designing these experiences. ♥️ This is our project/business and what we give to the world and we think everything should be a fair exchange! However, money should never be the reason for people not to attend. If you can’t afford it simply get in touch with us :)

• I'm digging this! Can I get involved somehow?
Sure thing, send us a message!

• Can I bring my cute dog/llama?
It depends on where the event is! Message us to make sure. But it's always a YES in our hearts

• Can I get a refund if I can't make it?
Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds or ticket transfers to another event date if you cannot attend with a notice of less than 48 hours notice. BUTTTT feel free to pass on your ticket to a friend, provided they also sign up the form :)
