The fika package is designed to easily connect people from within a group and (potentially) suggest a topic to kick off the conversation. It’s goal is to help connect people.
What is a Fika?
A fika is Swedish tradition that is similiar to a coffee break. But a Fika is much much more than having a coffee. It is a social phenomenon, a legitimate reason to set aside a moment for quality time. But don’t take if from me, learn more from the official Swedish website.
This approach probably doesn’t meet the traditional definition of a fika, but hey the goal is to help people interact.
Example
library(fika)
fika::topics[1:3]
#> [1] "What was your favorite vacation?"
#> [2] "What is your favorite cereal?"
#> [3] "Favorite new TV show others should watch?"
fika::topic_add(fika::topics[1:3], "Favorite restaurant in your town and why?")
#> [1] "What was your favorite vacation?"
#> [2] "What is your favorite cereal?"
#> [3] "Favorite new TV show others should watch?"
#> [4] "Favorite restaurant in your town and why?"
dat <- data.frame(
name = c("Steve", "Kathy", "Tim", "Terry", "Erin", "Emily", "Gail", "Robin", "Denny", "Marge"))
fika::create_groups(dat, min_group_size = 3)
#> name Group
