Yeobi – Connecting new and new arrivals to fight against the isolation of foreign people

Yeobi is a federation of international associations in Montpellier whose objective is the inclusion of newcomers, but also the promotion of cultural and linguistic diversity within the city. Newcomers to Montpellier and people wishing to meet people sharing the same passions, discovering their cities, departments or regions and taking advantage of the natural spaces that they have to offer. The main stake of Yeobi is to promote the inclusion of newcomers within the city and to allow the discovery of common passions between them and the locals. Today the Yeobi community uses Whatsapp to organize these walks and hikes, but the tool makes it difficult to organize several walks at the same time and is not accessible to people who are not on whatsapp. The idea was therefore born from our desire to better organize these meetings which play an essential role in our community!

What are the objectives of the challenge?

The challenge is to create a web-app that will allow newcomers to Montpellier to meet and create friendships through thematic walks in the city and hikes in the region.
