Joining the Ivory Coast community in Europe

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.

The Ivory Coast diaspora elsewhere in the world

Elsewhere, the Ivory Coast diaspora also lives in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Ghana. Each country has its own page, with its cities and meetups.
