Joinly / A practical guide

Turn “we should do something” into a plan

A good plan starts with something concrete: what you want to do, where and when. Joinly brings events and people together around shared activities, whether you are looking for a nearby event or starting one yourself.

01

Start with the activity

Choose something you would actually like to do: a walk, a sports session or a trip. Explore events by location and interest, then use the map to understand where they take place. Read the event detail before deciding whether it fits your time and expectations.

02

Make the plan easy to understand

When creating an event, describe the activity in plain words and provide a useful location and time. For example, “Saturday walk by the river” is a starting point; meeting at a clearly named place at a stated time makes it a plan that someone can follow.

03

Set expectations before meeting

Explain practical details that matter to the activity, such as the expected duration and what participants should bring. If someone is joining your plan for the first time, a public, easy-to-find meeting place helps everyone arrive with the same understanding.

04

Find people through a shared interest

Join an existing event or look for company for an activity you already have in mind. Keep the activity at the centre of the conversation. A small, clear plan can be easier to organise than waiting for a perfect idea that suits everyone.

Common questions

Do I need to organise an event?

You can start by exploring existing activities and their details. Creating your own event is another option when you have a plan to share.

What should an event description include?

Describe what will happen, the meeting place, the date and time, and any practical information participants need.
