Two improv teams compete, making up scenes on themes and constraints set by a referee, and the audience is the only jury that decides the winner. Entry is free. Voting together with the crowd makes it easy to feel part of the evening when you come alone.
Every Thursday from 16:00 to 20:00, outside school holidays, this neighbourhood house runs a free workshop for repairing objects, woodworking and DIY, supervised by a specialist. It is open to adults and children from age seven. Working on a project at a shared workbench is a natural way to get talking.
On Wednesday 17 March 2027 at 19:00 La Dépendance, at route du Grand-Lancy 8 in Lancy, in the Geneva area, hosts a screening of the Festival du Film Vert. The listing explains that, facing the urgent challenges of climate disruption, the festival invites people to think and act through a selection of committed films. Every screening is followed by an exchange with specialists, which helps raise awareness and move people to action. The City of Lancy, which says it is attached to a coherent sustainable-development policy, is hosting the event for the fifth year in a row, combining culture and ecological transition. Entry is free, and the latest programme details are on the festival's own site. The evening lasts about an hour and a half. A film followed by a discussion is one of the easiest events to attend alone, because the debate gives everyone a reason to speak up and compare views. «Festival du Film vert» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:30.

Twice a month from spring to late summer the mobile stage truck «20 mille lieux» parks on the Place de Pont-Rouge in Lancy, just south of Geneva, for a free open-air concert by local artists. The series is programmed by the FA-MI association with the support of the City of Lancy, and the artists are announced during the year. An easy after-work stop right by Lancy-Pont-Rouge station. «Musique à Pont-Rouge I Tout public» Starts 18:30, ends about 19:30. Source: OpenAgenda — Lancy (open data).
Every Wednesday the new Pont-Rouge district of Lancy, beside the Lancy-Pont-Rouge station just outside Geneva, hosts a market of local, low-carbon produce that turns into an afterwork gathering. Alongside fruit and vegetables, bread, cheese, local beer and regional wine there are food stands, and in the warm season a programme of concerts adds a festive mood. Entry is free, and it is an easy place to linger on your own with a drink and chat. «Marché de Pont-Rouge» Starts 16:00, ends about 21:00. Source: OpenAgenda — Lancy (open data).
Every Tuesday and Thursday the stallholders of the Place des Ormeaux in Petit-Lancy, on the south-western edge of Geneva, set up a friendly local market with seasonal fruit and vegetables, coffee, a grocer, a butcher and a rotisserie. At lunchtime a food truck serving burgers and fries draws a crowd, and entry is of course free. A simple, sociable place to do your shopping and get to know the neighbourhood. «Marché des Ormeaux» Starts 08:00, ends about 14:00. Source: OpenAgenda — Lancy (open data).
Twice a week the Place du Premier-Août in Grand-Lancy, on the south-western edge of Geneva, fills with a classic neighbourhood market: local seasonal vegetables, a bakery, a grocer and a rotisserie. Regulars come early for fresh bread and a coffee, and at lunchtime two food trucks and a burger-and-fries stand feed office workers and passers-by. It is free to wander, and an easy place to fall into conversation over a coffee. «Marché de la place du 1er août» Starts 07:00, ends about 14:00. Source: OpenAgenda — Lancy (open data).
