Today's Webtip: Next Door Family EU

An interesting attempt at encouraging communication. With food!

You can listen to a Reality Check report on the project from Rob Cameron here

Finding your way in a foreign culture can be tough. I was lucky enough to get involved with the Austrian music scene from the get go, but I have talked with a lot of other people who didn't have it quite as easy. They almost always ask me how to meet Austrians.

Telling them to start (or join) a band isn't usually very constructive.

In the Czech Republic there is another way. Next Door Family organizes cross-cultural dinners. The project was so succesful that they expanded it to include other EU countries this year. Unfortunatley, Austria is not on the list.

Anyone else want to join me in trying to change that?
