CHOSEN IDEA

SPEED FRIENDING SOCIAL GATHERING/EVENT

BASIC IDEA

-This social gathering is all based on the simple concept of speed dating. The idea is that the group of people that take part in this experience are split down the middle and then pair up (randomly). These two people sit and get to know each other for an allotted amount of time. After this period the pairs swap partners. This continues for sometime until everyone has met, been introduced and held a reasonable conversation. However the difference for our event is that this is done in a non-intimate setup and is aimed to help people speak and interact with people they may not have the courage to approach outside of this specialised event.
