InterNations Live!, our first ever Global Online Anniversary Festival, will take place throughout the month of September 2020. This will, of course, include themed official events and activities across our communities around the world —simply look for “InterNations Live!” in the event title. However, you will also have the opportunity to sign up for our special main stage events taking place at the end of September — listen to musicians from around the world, virtually travel the world with other global minds, and receive a surprise from InterNations Headquarters!
Now that we can truly cross borders and bridge cultures, we would like to celebrate how connecting online has encouraged us even more to follow our mission of making expat life a great experience, so let’s get into the InterNations spirit!
In addition to a diverse offering of big and small anniversary official events and activities, InterNations Live! offers five main stage events.
Tuesday, 22 September
13:00–15:00 CEST
We will kick off a week of main stage birthday celebrations on the InterNations Tours Stage. This event will give members the opportunity to travel to special locations together (from the comfort of their living rooms) and check out future destinations.
Wednesday, 23 September
19:00–22:00 CEST
The Global Creatives stage will give members a chance to creatively reflect on their experiences with InterNations and as a global mind. Experienced Consuls from around the world who have already been working together this year will lead the event and give space for sharing and connecting.
Thursday, 24 September
15:00–17:00 CEST
This stage will highlight Changemakers Groups for being the world’s largest community outreach program for expatriates. Changemakers Consuls will share some insights about the causes they are passionate about and a guest speaker will join the call from World Cleanup Day (WCD), an annual global social action program. The event will include breakout rooms where members will have the chance to share their personal ideas about sustainability and discuss how we can make a difference one step at a time.
InterNations Live! Presents: Play it by Ear
The Global Music stage organized and hosted by Consuls and Ambassadors from around the world will present an interactive event with performances of talented and well-known musicians from different countries including Turkey, South Africa, Belgium, the Netherlands, Ghana, Morocco, Spain, Russia, Singapore, and Romania. We ask attendees to help support the artists who have struggled during these times by making a small donation during the event.

With the final month of 2019, the holidays are fast approaching. Our communities around the world are busy getting festive and ending the year in style, with lots of Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations. Let’s take a look at this month’s events and activities that make this a December to remember!
The Madrid Comedy Sketch Group is just one of many popular groups on InterNations but last summer they achieved something extraordinary. Group members wrote a comedy and performed it at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Get a sneak peek at how the group made it there in this video!
After a long and cold winter for the Northern Hemisphere, it is time to celebrate the arrival of the season of blooming flowers and unique festivals: spring! InterNations members welcomed this flourishing time of the year with exciting events and outdoor activities, while the Southern Hemisphere is getting ready to “fall into fall”.
Even if 2021 didn’t bring all of the positive changes we had hoped for, there are still many great things that happened across our communities. Our global expat community is thriving — thanks to our Ambassadors and Consuls. Find out all about the highlights of 2021!
