Café Verona, Cluj-Napoca, Romania

“This week we gather at Café Verona for an evening on the theme of "the things we carry" — the small joys, the quiet weights, the half-finished sentences we've been holding all week. Connection Games is a structured space for real conversation: short rounds, gentle prompts, and the chance to actually be heard by someone you've only just met.

Come straight from work or wander in from the park. Bring whatever mood you arrive with — curious, tired, hopeful, unsure. The format does the heavy lifting; you only need to show up. Two hours, a warm room, and twenty-something strangers who, by the end, won't quite be strangers anymore.”

An evening of guided conversations and real connections.

You know that feeling of leaving a social space having actually connected with someone? We built an entire experience around that.

Relaxed vibe. Structured format. Conversations in pairs. Questions that will guide you and conversations that you will surely remember.

The Makuma principles
Treat each conversation as a chance to discover something new. Don't hurry to ask or answer — listen not to fix, but to understand. The world expands when we do.
You don't know the full story in front of you. Offer care without trying to solve or save the other. You're welcome as you are — and so is the person across from you.
Ask before giving advice or asking personal questions. Know you can say "no" or "pass" anytime — and trust others to do the same. That's what makes space for a real "yes".
Check in with how you feel. Breathe. If you feel over- or understimulated, take a break and ask "what is going on now?" — it's normal not to be present at all times.
Courage isn't about being fearless — it's about leaning in, gently, even when you feel nervous. Every brave step counts, big or small.

You'll feel at home if…

·You want to meet new people — whether you just moved here or you've lived here forever.
·You like having a clear structure, but you want the freedom to shape your own experience inside it.
·You're a bit shy, or proudly introverted.
·You're a social butterfly who craves something with a bit more depth.

Probably not your thing if…

·You're only here to find a date or hook up. Romantic connection can absolutely spark here — it just isn't the main focus.
·You're not comfortable or willing to share a compassionate conversation with people who think, love or live differently.
