Mandatory bullshit events forced on people who don't want to be there and then likely some stupid process to prove to the government that you attended the event is a horrible idea.

If you want to encourage face to face events then you need to transform urban spaces to be more walkable and create more public spaces people actually want to hang out at. If I go outside I could walk around for hours and the only people I would see are out there for fitness and do not wish to be disturbed by random chats.

Forcing people to do things is never as effective as making people want to do them in the first place.

I think having 50 people meet up at a community center to go volunteer is way more feasible than redesigning urban infrastructure.

I agree forcing is not nice but tell that to all the children who don’t want to go to school haha

I'm not sure that's true. If you look at where people meet their spouses you often find it was in school or at work (at least here in the states), basically places where they were forced to interact with other people.
