Your place and people are around the corner.
Literally.
"There are no strangers here, only friends you haven't met yet”
5,000+ people live within a 5-minute walk of your apartment.
You know, like, two of them.
Emily with the glasses. And whatshisname. Has a dog?
All those other humans - they're your neighbours.
We're on a mission to build social capital, fight loneliness, and create more real-life connected communities. That starts with building local bonds to place and people.
Get to know the nearby humans.
Join a real-life Barrio.
What is Barrio? It starts with a program...
PROGRAMS
There are three programs to choose from.
In each program you are placed in a Pod of folks from your neighbourhood.
These are folks who are bored by the pleasantries, done with the samesame tapas and drinks, and want to actually do something.
In each Session, a Barrio Catalyst (= real life human) leads your Pod through activities that
forge friendships, boost belonging, and cultivate community ties.
The activities are fun. Or funny. 'Out of the box'. Collaborative.
They're not boring (shudder).
They're smelling salts for your daily routine.
An opportunity for collective adventure.
Why these sessions and activities?
Sure, there's academic research. But to quote a man who has no idea that we're quoting him:
"Above all, try something"

Thank you for your interest in Barrio. We're on a mission to build social capital, fight loneliness, and create more real-life connected communities.
We're just getting started in Barcelona. But we would love to bring Barrio to every city soon.
We need all the help we can get. Vote with your feet (or fingers) and let us know that you're interested.
