Through the Hoplr neighbourhood network, you can quickly reach many neighbours to invite them to a community activity or involve them in its organisation. (Register on Hoplr)
A neighbourhood calendar strengthens the community by informing residents about local events and activities. It promotes social cohesion and makes it easier for neighbours to meet. Join in and help contribute to a lively and connected neighbourhood!

How and where is my activity visible?
If you mark an activity as "visible" outside your neighbourhood, it will appear in the Calendar of surrounding neighbourhoods and will also show up in the neighbourhood feed of people who follow your neighbourhood.
Would you like followers of your neighbourhood to also receive an email or push notification about it? They will need to set this up themselves. You can find more information here.
Note: People who do not follow your neighbourhood will not see the activity in their neighbourhood feed and will not receive notifications. However, they can still find the activity in the Calendar if they filter by distance.
