With joy, we announce the first Neighbor Day, a full-day celebration on Saturday, June 1, 2024. To ensure that the event is diverse and inclusive, we invite you to participate in the preparations, which will take place throughout May at the Rog Center. Everyone is welcome - neighbors of all generations, as well as those who don't live nearby but feel connected to the Rog Center. Together, we can organize an unforgettable gathering, get to know each other, and connect!

The meetings, where we will be preparing food, drinks, and various equipment for activities at our communal Saturday party, will last a maximum of three hours and will take place in various labs at the Rog Center (in the cooking, textile, green labs, etc.). You don't need any prior knowledge to participate, just a willingness to create and collaborate.

To facilitate the organization, we invite you to choose a preparatory activity from the links below in which you would like to participate or suggest your own activity that you would like to offer to your neighbors.
