How many people from Seychelles live in Oceania?
According to the United Nations, 2,620 people from the Seychelles live in Oceania.
In total, 20,300 people from Seychelles live abroad, and about 13% of them live in Oceania.
However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.
Where to meet people from Seychelles in Oceania
No community for people from Seychelles exists in Oceania on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.
As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.
Other diasporas in Oceania
There, the largest diasporas also come from the United Kingdom, India, China, the Philippines, and South Africa, according to the UN. Each one has its own page on Compatri, with its cities and meetups.
Joining the Seychelles community in Oceania
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.
Seychelles Independence Day in Oceania
Every June 29, the national day brings the Seychelles diaspora together. Locally too, communities organise concerts, meals and gatherings.
The Seychelles diaspora elsewhere in the world
Elsewhere, the Seychelles diaspora also lives in Mozambique. Each country has its own page, with its cities and meetups.
