La Cité Bleue

On Sunday 15 November 2026 at 17:00 La Cité Bleue in Geneva hosts Héritage(s), described as a celebration of Latin American roots. The singer and composer Lia Naviliat Cuncic offers a fresh look at Latin music. Between personal compositions and arrangements of the popular repertoire, she explores her South American roots with her quartet, through the energy of improvised music and the richness of Latin percussion. The venue is at Avenue de Miremont 46 and the concert runs from 17:00 to 18:30. The price is 15 Swiss francs (CHF 15). The record lists a website and a phone number for booking.

Non-demande ou non-accès ? Gender violence, Collège Voltaire, Genève

Aula du Collège Voltaire

On Thursday 19 November 2026 at 08:30 the aula of the Collège Voltaire in Geneva hosts a scientific morning titled Non-demande ou non-accès ? Penser le non-recours dans la lutte contre les violences de genre. The listing describes it as aimed at professional circles and built from presentations followed by a round table. The theme is how to make sure that anyone who needs or is eligible for care, legal aid or social support can actually obtain it. It explains that in the context of gender-based violence and discrimination the gap between rights and access widens through stigma, control, shame and the trivialising of facts. Speakers from research and fieldwork look at the institutional barriers that limit access and at secondary victimisation. Entry is free, and the listing points to the Geneva state website for registration. The morning runs from 08:30 to 12:15. A morning of talks and a panel is easy to attend alone, since everyone is there to listen and discuss the same questions. «Matinée scientifique pour les milieux professionnels : présentations et table ronde le jeudi 19 novembre 2026, de 8h30 à 12h15, à l'aula du Collège Voltaire» Starts 08:30, ends about 12:15. Source: OpenAgenda — Ville de Genève - événements organisés par des organisations externes à la Ville de Genève (open data). The listing says the morning is free and runs from 8:30 to 12:15 in the aula of the Collège Voltaire.

Round table on gender and sport at Palais Eynard, Geneva

Palais Eynard - Hôtel municipal

On Friday 27 November 2026 at 19:00 the Palais Eynard, the municipal building at Rue de la Croix-Rouge 4 in Geneva, hosts a round table titled Qui a le droit de concourir? Sexe, genre et frontières dans le sport et les échecs. The listing says the discussion looks at so-called femininity tests in sport, and in chess in particular. It notes that trans and intersex women athletes face an unprecedented hardening of rules, and that the International Olympic Committee has reinstated genetic femininity tests for the 2028 Los Angeles Games. The speakers are Anaïs Bohuon, a socio-historian at Paris-Saclay, Yosha Iglesias, a chess player and coach, and Anne Schmitt, a sociologist of sport, gender and the body, with the journalist Emma Thibert moderating. The event is free and needs no registration, and it runs from 19:00 to 20:30. It is supported by the City of Geneva. A panel talk is easy to attend alone, since you simply take a seat and listen. «Table ronde proposant de s’intéresser aux tests de "féminité" dans le sport et notamment dans les échecs.» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:30.

Host a game night

No table near you? Set one up in a minute.

Create a free invite (pick the Game night template), share the link, and the people who say yes bring the snacks. This is the whole host kit:

  1. A public table — a café, a bar's back room or a library room beats your living room for strangers.
  2. Two or three short games that take one minute to explain; save the four-hour epic for later.
  3. Cap it at 4–8 players per table and say so in the invite.
  4. Beginners welcome, in writing — it is the line that gets newcomers to say yes.
  5. Fixed end time, two to three hours, so leaving is easy and coming back next time is too.
