Nation to Nation: An International Meetup Event

Nation to Nation is going down every Saturday at Yabangee Base, bringing together multiple international groups for an evening that blends social connection, cultural exchange, and nightlife. The series offers a welcoming space where newcomers, long-time residents, and locals alike can meet, expand their networks, and discover new communities before the night transitions into DJs and dancing. The evening begins with opportunities to connect through conversation, cultural exchange, icebreaker activities, games, and community-led socials, creating an environment where meeting new people comes naturally. As the night progresses, the focus shifts to the dance floor, with DJs providing the soundtrack late into the night. Whether you're looking to make friends, grow your social circle, represent your community, or simply enjoy a Saturday night with an international crowd, Nation to Nation brings different communities together under one roof and celebrates the diversity of Istanbul's global community. Yabangee Base is the home of Yabangee, an independent community platform that has spent over a decade helping people connect in İstanbul. Designed as an affordable, welcoming space, it hosts everything from pub quizzes and live music to language exchanges, workshops, board game nights, and community gatherings. Whether you're new to the city, a long-time resident, Turkish or international, Yabangee Base exists to make meeting people feel a little easier.
