English term or phrase: Social events
Guys i'm trying to translate social events in this context, "Try to join different social events every once in while. Let's say you join a social event that's about bread baking or a yoga course whatever. It should be something you usually wouldn't do so you can spice up your own life and meet new people."
The way i would translate that, actividades sociales.
What do you guys think?

Spanish translation:actividades sociales
Explanation:
"eventos" in Spanish refers to an important event that have been planned in advance, such as a conference, a graduation, a weeding, etc. I can see that the text is about participating in different activities.

(Not very relevant the above answer, emphasis was on the social aspect, actividades sociales suena bien. ) Eventos parece Anglocismo.

disagree  Rebecca Reddin: As far as I am aware, a "junta" usually is used for the meetings of some organized body, as can be seen from the list of phrases "junta administrativa", "junta arbitral", etc., highlighted in the DRAE: https://dle.rae.es/junta.
