How to integrate into Barcelona's international community

If you aren't still fluent in the local languages a good idea is to join international associations. There you can meet both, locals that like to meet global people and internationals that have experienced the same challenges that you’ve had. It’s also a good way to participate in a bunch of events, enrol in many projects and discover your new home city.

During this session, we will present some of the many international associations in Barcelona and listen to some of the expats that are part of them, enabling you to use them as tool for your integration.
