How do I add an activity to the calendar?

Through Hoplr, you can easily organize and share neighborhood activities via the website or app. You create an activity, choose a category, date, title, description, and optionally add photos, location, and price. Activities appear in the neighborhood calendar and can be made visible to surrounding neighborhoods, which promotes social cohesion. Followers can set notifications to stay informed.

Through the digital neighborhood network Hoplr, you can quickly reach many neighbors to invite them to a neighborhood activity or involve them in its organization. (Register on Hoplr)

A neighborhood calendar strengthens the community by informing residents about local events and activities. It promotes social cohesion and makes it easier to meet each other. Join in and contribute to a lively and connected neighborhood!

How and where is my activity visible?

If you mark an activity as "visible" outside your neighborhood, it will appear in the Calendar of surrounding neighborhoods and in the neighborhood feed of followers of your neighborhood.

Do you want followers to receive an email or push notification? They must set this up themselves. More info here.

Note: Non-followers do not see the activity in their neighborhood feed and do not receive notifications, but can find the activity in the Calendar via distance filter.
