A StrangerKind, Cape Town (2026)

17/02/2026

Join us and "Talk to Strangers" from 11:00 – 14:00 on Saturday, 21 February at Green Point Park, next to Park Café.

How it works:

Arrive anytime between 11:00 and 14:00 to see which topics are available (topics are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis). Choose something that sparks your curiosity, sit down with one of our volunteers who’ll share their life story on that topic, and ASK them ANYthing. Each conversation lasts up to 45 minutes — but you decide how long you want to chat.

This is a free, public event, and everyone is welcome! Still unsure how it works? Just come say hi and meet the team. You’re welcome to purchase something to eat or drink at Park Café while you wait for your next conversation.

Our Conversation Starter Cards will also be available for purchase.

See you there — and STAY CURIOUS!

Join us and "Talk to Strangers" from 12:00 – 15:00 on Saturday, 29 November at Streetopia. Streetopia is a free, one-day community street festival in Obs, organised by AfrikaBurn in collaboration with local residents and organizations. It transforms the streets into a space for art, music, performance, mutant vehicles, and market stalls, with a focus on community, creativity, and collaboration rather than large, commercial stages.

Here are some of the Stranger's topics you can find at Saturday's event. Choose something that sparks your curiosity, sit down with the volunteer who will share a brief introduction about their life, and for the remainder of the time ASK them ANYthing you ever wanted to know about it.

On Saturday, we were fortunate to “kuier” under the trees at Park Cafe. Looking forward to having this neighbourly vibe on a regular basis in future. Thank you Lucas for helping with all the logistics and the great service from the team. Joburg see you on Saturday!

A special thank you to Green Point Tennis Club (and special shout out to the friendly and helpful Elvis) who rented their chairs out to us for the day so that our volunteers could share stories comfortably.

We were all Strangers Once...

On Saturday 14 June A StrangerKind will be bringing their ASK event to Gqeberha.

At A StrangerKind we find volunteers, every day humans willing to share something about their lives and encourage people to ask them anything about it. A way to have meaningful conversations with someone from a different walk of life, and to encourage curiosity and kindness through stories. The event is free and open to anyone.

On arrival, you will be met with a team showing you the available topics for the day. Topics ranging from occupation, ethnicity, gender, health, life experiences, sexuality, religion, status and everything inbetween. You choose something that sparks your curiosity and sit down with our volunteer for a conversation. Any and all questions are welcomed (yes, even the ones you weren't sure you are allowed to ask).

Be Curious. Talk to Strangers.

This is a free and open event.
Food and drinks will be available to purchase from D'Stoep during the event.

Yes, you have seen right, ASK is coming to the Eastern Cape next weekend and launching a new community!

We will be hosting an event on Saturday, 14 June and are running a campaign to support our event logistics, training new volunteers and continue our growing our footprint.

If you would like to support this initiative in any way, please consider buying us a virtual coffee (or anything else) via our BackaBuddy campaign.
