Protocol
No headphones, a visible pacer, and a 30-minute coffee or water stop after the activity.
Gymnasium
Gymnasium uses movement to lower the cost of trust.
A Polis format is a constraint system for real-world contact: small enough to be human, specific enough to be memorable, and private enough to let people be honest.
Activity types
5K jog, accessible hike, recreational game, climbing session, or urban walk.
Accessibility notes
5K offers walk groups; hikes list grade and rest points; games have non-contact roles; climbing has seated belay options; urban walks publish curb and transit notes.
Why it works
Shared effort gives shy citizens something to do before they have to talk.
Start with the directory, then choose the room.
Every format routes to the same institutional promise: no ads, no data sale, no pay-to-play matching, and no public status game.
