Welcome to enjoy tango culture together, the only place where sitting all evening alone and silent watching people dance all evening is as much welcome and understood as being a sparkling social star and soul of the party. Dance, chat, listen to music or just enjoy the ambience as you work on your computer :) Entrance fee is 50 kr, free for members of Project Pocket and guests. Tea/coffee and snacks can be purchased for a small fee.

On Fridays we regularly host an international Board Games Night where we come together, play, enjoy offline company and celebrate diversity as we never manage to be only one nationality by the table )) The entry is free though a small donation is always welcome ;) Bring snacks! now, THAT is always welcome. In case of questions: +46 7616 6562 6. PS: search for location on google by Project Pocket, maps sometimes show a neighbor building. We are inside on the block, second floor.

Yes we all are a little bit rusty and clumsy after 1,5 year of saving the world. Let’s kick the post-corona season (and hope it will last :)) with a short but intense weekend full of learning and practicing! Lucky us, with this one time offer we have an amazing couple of pedagogs, Damian Thompson and Beata Neumann coming to Helsingborg to meet cosy Tango Fortuna community, on the 8-10 October this year. With them they bring a severe advanced (made easy) set of techniques and sequences that will bring your dance to another level. Now, that is what we call a survivors’ weekend: Milonga on Friday 8/10, 21.00-24.00 Two sets of workshops (2 hours before lunch and after) on Saturday 9/10 and Sunday 10/10: 10.30-12.30 and 16.30-18.30 Praktika inbetween, 13.00-16.00 Milongas on Saturday night, 21.00-01.00 and Sunday evening 19.00-22.00 Topics of workshops will be discussed with the registered participants but personal favourites would be complex sacadas, surprising changes of lead and direction, sequences challenging balance and coordination as well as enhancing smooth playfullness like for example seamless barridas. Price for the whole weekend inclusive workshops, all praktikas and milongas is 1000 SEK per person or 1800 per couple. Price for milongas/praktikas paid separately is 100 kr per occasion. Yes we are fully aware of the pressure our brain, feet and in some cases, relationships will experience. For the participants registered we offer a chance to sleep over at Project Pocket in basic conditions (back to youth camps!! :)) and have breakfasts together. An option is to include lunch and dinner on Saturday-Sunday in the package, for additional 200 kr per person in total.

You know what we did last Summer? We started for the first time, a ladies carpenters group with a main aim to let go of fear of failure, supremacy of perfectionism and shyness of work with tools. Experiments and team work have been our leading stars. From this initiative, a smaller group of brave and talented ladies have decided to move on and start up REFORM: initiative for upcycling of old furniture. And to make the whole thing more fun, in November a furniture design competition took place with support from Helsingborg city. Four groups of young non-professionals accepted the challenge. Results of this experiment will be displayed at Project Pocket during March. Entrance is free however we appreciate your support if you order a cup of tea/coffee and tell us what you think of the ideas.

Every Thursday between 19-21.00 and Sunday 16-19.00, Tango Fortuna is in the house! Free entry for members (membership can be purchased at the place), or 50 kr for curious one-time visitors. You can find more info at https://tangofortuna.com/ Welcome!

The target group of the course are women 25+. The language of the course is English and part of the learning process is online/self-studies.

Years of project work both international and local, have brought thousands of learnings, but contacts and ideas even more so. Throughout the years it has also become a mighty (however sensitive) tool of empowerment, recognition of competences and integration. The time has come to pass the knowledge further and bring up a generation of well equipped project workers, creators and assistents. For this purpose we are now for the first time, announce a call for admittance to our Project School, an 6 weeks course where matters of planning, facilitation and reporting will be brought up to discussion, together with matters of quality control, communication and resource management. As an exam each student will develop own initiative and perform it with support of Project Pocket team. A certificate and a letter of reference will be granted to all students who has successfully completed the course. Payment: the course is free of charge for the volunteers of Proqvi and Project Pocket; please contact us for details of volunteering. For non-volunteers, course fee is 3000SEK and must be paid within a week from registration acceptance to the course.
