🍀 F*ck the Small Talk Brussels #3
**[Grab your ticket here! 🎟️](https://luma.com/ftst3brussels)**
🔗 On your phone and can’t click? Click the link in the comments :)
2026 here we go! Off to another year of showing ourselves and connecting more deeply 🤗
**📦 WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?**
FTST is an out-of-the-box **social experience** where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for **games**, **talks**, and **connections** with **friends you haven’t met yet**. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in Brussels every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you. 🙌
**📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?**
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You'll be guided by an experienced host who'll make sure everything goes smoothly. 🍭
**🕹 HOW TO JOIN?**
**[Take 1 minute to sign up 👈](https://luma.com/ftst3brussels)**
🔗 On your phone and can’t click? Click the link in the comments :)
Our events are **limited to 30 handpicked guests** to ensure a cozy atmosphere. **Confirm your spot on the link above** to make it happen! We prioritize a balance of gender and age. If you're invited you'll receive a confirmation within 48 hours via Luma (our ticketing platform)
NOTE: We won't validate your payment unless you've been accepted! (which you most likely will ❤️)
**Sold out or can't make it?** [Drop us your email ](https://epicllama.myflodesk.com/brussels)and we'll keep you in the loop for the next one! 😎
**🧧 HOW MUCH IS IT?**
The cost to attend is €15 (early bird) or €18 (general), and includes the following:
⏰ 3 hours of facilitated and curated activities
🙌🏽 Access to the Llamas in Brussels WhatsApp community
👥 A space to meet new people in the least boring way possible
💛 Supporting our mission to spread human connection events around the world
*(🎫 also includes those annoying ticket fees!)*
**🌳 WHERE IS IT?**
We host our events in awesome bars & parks across the city. *We only **reveal the location** upon confirmation.*
**💛 WHAT THEY SAY**
🗣 “This is the kind of activity **humanity needs every weekend**. Thank you for all.” - *Sonya*
🗣 “F\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.” - Monika
🗣 "It’s a **wonderful** **experience**, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe you’ll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara

**🤓 FAQ**
**• Can I come alone?**
Of course, we encourage it :)
**• Can I be late?**
Please don't! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow.
**• I signed up but never got an invite. Why?**
We usually get a high volume of sign-ups yet we like to keep it cozy & only invite around 30 people. Please try again next time if you do not receive an invite - no hard feelings 💛
**• Why do you charge?**
We value our time and put a lot of love, planning, and effort into creating & designing these experiences. ♥️ This is our project/business and what we give to the world and we think everything should be a fair exchange! 🎈 However, money should never be the reason for people not to attend. If you can’t afford it send us a message!
**• Is this a networking or dating event?**
Nope! Think of us as the *anti-networking* and *anti-speed dating* event. There’s no pressure, no pitches, and no cringy icebreakers. Instead, we create spaces where strangers can connect through fun & meaningful conversations. It’s all about authentic connection—no business cards or romantic expectations required. (doesn’t mean it *can’t* happen—it’s just not the intention!)
𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨, 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙. ✨
\* Location is only revealed to ticket holders!
🙅♀️📱This event is a no-phone experience. 🙅♀️📱
We started in Berlin back in 2019 out of the frustration of being asked 'Where are you from?' multiple times at every single meetup! Now there are chapters in 15 cities including Medellin, Lisbon, Buenos Aires, Zurich, and London! 🗺️

Debate Night: Work/Life balance
Work is a central part of our lives, but how it fits alongside everything else is far from simple. Between professional responsibilities, personal commitments, and the need for rest, finding a sustainable rhythm can feel like an ongoing challenge.
Across different industries and lifestyles, people approach this balance in very different ways. Expectations are evolving, habits are shifting, and what works for one person may not work for another.
In this debate, we’ll explore how to navigate the relationship between work and personal life, and what that means in today’s world. Join us for an open discussion, and bring your perspective!
This debate will follow a British Parliamentary format with eight debaters split into four teams of two.
Participants who wish to speak are highly encouraged to bring a paper and pen. You are welcome to participate even if you have no prior debating experience.
⚠️ Disclaimer:
We aim for debates that are respectful, constructive, and welcoming.
• Respect ideas and people: Listen actively, stay quiet while others speak, and debate arguments, not identities or beliefs.
• Be concise and civil: Keep questions short and relevant; avoid hostility, hate speech, or discrimination.
• Respect boundaries and time: No unwanted advances or suggestive behavior; arrive on time to avoid disrupting the debate.
• Follow moderators: They guide the discussion and ensure fairness.
Looking forward to seeing you there 😊
Garden Visit #2: Hasselt Japanese garden
VERY IMPORTANT:
Payment MUST be done in advance:
[https://japansetuin.hasselt.be/nl/kamishibai-festival](https://japansetuin.hasselt.be/nl/kamishibai-festival)
Click “tickets kamishibai”
Then change the date in the form to 26/4
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
Let’s take a small break from the noise and step into something calmer.
We’ll meet in the main hall of are centrale, and go together for a relaxed walk through one of the largest Japanese gardens in Europe. Expect quiet paths, water, bridges, seasonal colors, and a very different pace.
This is not a “guided tour” or a workout.
Just a simple moment to slow down, walk, breathe, and connect—with the place and with each other.
You’re welcome to come alone or with guests, meet new people, and just enjoy the atmosphere if that’s what you need.
👉 We’ll move slowly, stop when it feels right, maybe sit for a bit, or do some Qigong and maybe share a tea/coffee after
**Practical:**
* Meeting point: Gare centrale Bruxelles, train departs 9.12 to Hasselt.
* Duration: You're free to leave whenever you feel like it
* Bring: Comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate clothing
* Optional: water, tea, or something small to share
No pressure, no performance. Just a good moment.
