Every month we have two events:
– Welcome lunch where we take our time to welcome newcomers in Shanghai. Everyone, old and new, is welcome, but the time is dedicated to taking care of all the questions you can have as a newcomer in China or in Shanghai. The invitation to this event is sent out in our WeChat group, announcing the time and place.
– Culture evening, always held on the last Thursday of the month. On these evenings we have dinner together and a glass of wine. After dinner one of us does a talk on a self-chosen topic followed by a discussion.
Apart from the two regular events, we hold a few extra events such as Christmas dinners, summer parties, or cultural events.
We always have fun in a relaxed atmosphere, where everybody is welcome.

Danske kvinder i Shanghai.
Velkommen til danske kvinder i Shanghai.
Vi er en frivillig gruppe, som møder og støtter hinanden i Shanghai og omegn. Vi er ikke kun en gruppe for danske kvinder, men en gruppe, hvor alle kvinder, som taler og forstår dansk, er velkomne. Det har ingen betydning, hvilket pas du har. Gruppen kræver ikke medlemsskab.
Vi bruger det kinesiske Wechat til at kommunikere, og vil du gerne ind i vores grupper, finder du oplysninger længere nede på siden. Du er velkommen til at kontakte os, så får vi dig ind i de rigtige Wechat grupper.
Vi har to faste arrangementer om måneden:
– Velkomstfrokoster: Vi mødes en gang om måneden til ‘velkomstfrokoster’. Her har vi primært fokus på nye i Shanghai, hvor de kan spørge om alt. Vi har tiden til at besvare alskens spørgsmål og hjælpe hinanden. Alle, både nye og erfarne i Shanghai, er velkomne til disse frokoster, hvor vi mødes på en cafe og har nogle hyggelige timer sammen.
– Kulturaftener: Vi mødes den sidste torsdag i måneden. Først spiser vi middag sammen og får et glas vin. I løbet af aftenen har vi et oplæg af en af os kvinder. Temaet kan være alt: Livet i Kina, forskellen på det kinesiske og danske arbejdsmarked eller andet. Altså, hvad vi selv har viden om. Efter oplægget er der tid til diskussion.
Herudover har vi løbende ekstra arrangementer: Sommerfest, hvor vi siger farvel til de, som skal videre ud i verden fra Shanghai og ellers siger god sommer til hinanden og på gensyn, julefrokost, kulturelle arrangementer og andet, som nogen i gruppen har lyst til at arrangere.
Vi bruger hinanden og byder gerne nye velkomne. Vi mødes altid i en hyggelig, uformel og god atmosfære. Vi håber at se dig.
Har du spørgsmål, er du velkommen til at kontakte en af os. Vi har opdelt Shanghai i områder, så kontakt endelig den, som du bor eller kommer til at bo i nærheden af:
