One method of creating your own society is to use the so called five-sense programme: Lets go ‘Taste’ the wine at the wine tasting together, lets ‘Smell’ the food at the new Indian restaurant, lets ‘Hear’ the music at the concert together, lets ‘See’ the theatre play together, lets ‘Feel’ and play sports together.

The audience is asked to form groups, write down their hobbies and based on these to come up with simple events that they would enjoy together. The events vary from indoor skiing to a city tour with activities. And of course, enjoying drinks on a Friday afternoon at 2nd Friday.
