ICG welcomes both existing expats and new arrivals, offering them the conditions for social inclusion and a smooth integration.
What makes ICG unique is its ability to provide a variety of cross-functional services and events, all aimed at supporting new inhabitants' transition and helping them thrive within the local community.
The International Club of Getxo (ICG) is a platform for multi-cultural exchange and community integration with the objective to enhance and establish Getxo as a vibrant community, working closely with the town hall, local organizations and businesses.
The ICG fosters connections through local events, meaningful introductions, mutual support, educational activities and deep respect for all cultures. We support each other the best ways possible, through the motto “Think global, act local”.
We currently have more than fifty members from thirty nations who joined the network with the motivation to meet new arrivals, entrepreneurs and hands-on people, and to establish long-lasting, meaningful relationships and purpose-driven actions between members.
We organise all sorts of events, focusing on providing high quality reunions at a professional level and unique networking opportunities, but also family-focussed social activities including our younger members.
Yes. The ICG is an inclusive society built for everybody who is committed to create a better Getxo in the sense of community engagement, fostering leadership and intercultural exchange. Cultural diversity is important but the community also very much welcomes local people with an international mindset.
As a young organisation, there is no membership fee. We do ask for a financial contribution for special events. In the near future, we will consider a membership fee tailored to the ICG's needs and activities.
We are currently referral only. In case of interest, feel free to reach out to one of the founding members or send us a message through our contact page.
