DIGITAL MATCHING FOR ALUMNI EVENTS
Do you miss those alumni meetings ?
People with whom you went to school with and with whom you shared an almost instant connection ?
The ability to move around and meet interesting one interesting person after the other ?
​
We offer a tool for alumni organisations to match alumni or alumni-students amongst each other and thus increase the connection potential of the encounters facilitated.
MISSINGÂ CONNECTIONS LIKE THOSE WITH YOUR FELLOW BUDDIES
You enjoyed alumni events and parties but now due to social distancing haven't been able to attend them ?
You miss the connection and the ease of relating to people ?
You have attended some of the online meetups of your alumni association, but felt they fall short of the classical events as the pairing felt a little unsuited ?
LUNCHROULETTE CONNECTS YOU WITH OTHER MEMBERS IN YOUR ALUMNI NETWORK
Don't surrender to fate and Corona who you meet. Lunchroulette can connect you to others in your alumni association with genuine connection potential.
What do you need to do ?
In 25 min you create your profile and the rest is magic. We match you based on an algorithm that incorporates the latest insights of friendship research.
FIND LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE
Even if a second and third wave come, we can help you find a few like minded people to become friends and meet online or in small home circles (bubbles).
STEP BY STEP
CREATE PROFILE
On profile.practicalfriendship.com (hosted by Limesurvey) you answer an in-depth questionnaire regarding what you primarily value about your friends and what your friends primarily value about you. The second section then looks at your hobbies and interests. This step takes 20-25 minutes, and only needs to be done once resulting you receiving a Chiffre code for your profile.
REGISTER PARTICIPATION
On registration.practicalfriendship.com you then register your chiffre with the groups or circles in which you wish to be matched with other people. This can be the Alumni Club Germany of your University, the Lunch Roulette of your Company, or a virtual get together organised by your school or college.
ALGORITHMIC MATCHING
Once 5 people have registered within a circle we will run the matching, and if suitable matchings occur, notify registered people directly (or if this a closed circle used for events the circle organizer) to facilitate contact making.
Please note that it takes about 25 minutes to complete this questionnaire on a PC, Laptop, Tablet or Phablet. It is a little bit more difficult on a small screen Smartphone.
​
It is best done having sat down with a coffee or nice glass of wine.
