Brussels is Europe’s heart, and our meetup is its friendly beat. [[ Whatsapp groupchat link to join ]](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CRmOwQksJ1g8qTd8z4RniU) Join us Saturdays at 7:30 PM for a language and culture exchange like no other.

**Join us for a warm and easy-going afternoon at the Zinneke Parade 🎉, one of Brussels’ most creative and colorful street events.** The parade brings together artists, local groups, performers, musicians, and communities from different parts of the city to create a unique celebration in the streets of Brussels. The atmosphere is usually festive, artistic, multicultural, and full of surprises ✨. Expect music, costumes, creative performances, colorful groups, and a very Brussels-style mix of imagination and good energy. We can go as a group and walk around the city centre, watch the different parade groups, take photos 📸, enjoy the music and costumes 🎶🎭, and experience the festive atmosphere together. This is a great event for people who enjoy culture, creativity, street performances, local Brussels life, and social gatherings 🤝. Whether you are new in Brussels or simply want to spend a nice afternoon with friendly people, you are welcome to join. There is no fixed program: we will meet, walk together, enjoy the parade at a relaxed pace, and maybe go for a drink or snack afterwards for those who want to continue the evening ☕🍹. **To keep the group experience pleasant for everyone, participants are kindly asked to respect each other, behave normally, and contribute to a friendly and positive atmosphere 😊🙏.** **Location** **📍 Place de la Bourse in front of the Metro entrance** **Price** **🎟️ Free event** **No ticket is needed. You only pay for your own food or drinks if you decide to buy something**.

Improvisation is not just for comedians. It is a practical skill you use whenever life does not follow the script: during a meeting, a job interview, a difficult conversation, a presentation, a Q&A session or an unexpected challenge at work. On **Saturday 30 May**, Atomic Toastmasters invites you to a practical workshop designed to help you **think on your feet, stay calm under pressure and respond with more confidence**. The workshop will be hosted by **Nayara**, an aviation expert who knows from professional experience what it means to adapt quickly, communicate clearly and make decisions when circumstances change. During this two-hour session, you will practise simple and effective techniques to: * respond more naturally when you are put on the spot * structure your thoughts quickly * speak with clarity even when you have little time to prepare * become more comfortable with uncertainty * use improvisation as a communication skill, not as a performance trick This is a hands-on workshop. You will not only listen. You will practise, experiment and learn in a supportive environment. No previous Toastmasters experience is required. Guests, beginners and experienced speakers are all welcome. ## Practical information **Date:** Saturday 30 May **Doors open:** 09:45 **Workshop:** 10:00 – 12:00 **Location:** Shopping Linthout **Address:** Rue Bâtonnier Braffort 2, 1200 Brussels **Public transport:** Close to metro Merode **Parking:** Paid on-site parking available **Price:** 10 € ## Agenda **09:45 – 10:00 \| Arrival and welcome** Participants arrive, check in and meet the group. **10:00 – 10:10 \| Opening** Welcome by Atomic Toastmasters and introduction to the workshop. **10:10 – 10:25 \| Why improvisation matters** A short introduction to improvisation as a practical communication skill, with insights from aviation and real-life situations. **10:25 – 10:55 \| Thinking on your feet** Exercises to practise quick thinking, active listening and spontaneous responses. **10:55 – 11:10 \| Short break** **11:10 – 11:40 \| Speaking under pressure** Practical activities to help you stay calm, structure your message and respond with confidence. **11:40 – 11:55 \| Applying improvisation in daily life** How to use these techniques in meetings, interviews, presentations, conversations and Toastmasters sessions. **11:55 – 12:00 \| Closing** Final takeaways and next steps.

Join Photoresk for a relaxed afternoon of street photography at the Zinneke Parade in Brussels. We meet in front of Café Metteko before the parade, photograph together for about two hours, then come back for a drink and chat. The Zinneke Parade returns to the centre of Brussels on Saturday 30 May 2026, and it is exactly the kind of colourful, surprising city moment that is fun to photograph together. We will meet at 14:30 in front of Café Metteko, Boulevard Anspach 88, 1000 Brussels. The parade starts at 15:00. The different Zinnodes move through the centre in a loop, so from one good spot on the route we should be able to see the full parade between 15:00 and 17:00. https://www.zinneke.org/parade-2026/infos-pratiques/ Afterwards, from around 17:15, we will meet again at or near Café Metteko for a drink, a chat, and maybe a first look at our favourite shots. All levels are welcome. Bring any camera you like: DSLR, mirrorless, compact camera, analogue camera, or phone. The idea is simple: enjoy Brussels, photograph together, and meet other people who like photography. Practical details: Date: Saturday 30 May 2026 Meeting time: 14:30 Meeting point: in front of Café Metteko, Boulevard Anspach 88, 1000 Brussels Parade photography: 15:00-17:00 Social get-together: from about 17:15 at or near Café Metteko Nearby public transport: Bourse, De Brouckère, Gare Centrale A small note on comfort and safety: The Zinneke Parade is colourful, busy and often loud. Some places, especially around Bourse and Grand-Place, can get very crowded. Please travel light, keep an eye on your belongings, and respect the parade teams, stewards and other visitors. For close portraits, please ask first. Photoresk is a friendly international photography group. New faces are very welcome.

**Cinematek : Invasión** 30/05 @ 20h **ENTRE BORGES Y LA LUCHA ARMADA: INVASIÓN DE HUGO SANTIAGO** Por Pablo Gamba Invasión (1969), el primer largometraje de Hugo Santiago, fue escrito por Jorge Luis Borges y el director, basado en una idea de este mismo escritor y Adolfo Bioy Casares. [...] **Otra manera de ver** A primera vista Invasión podría ser considerada también como uno de esos “relatos que marcan el miedo o extrañeza de una clase poseedora ante el avance de otro amenazante”, los cuales abundan en la literatura argentina, como escribió recientemente Nicolás Prividera en una nota sobre tres películas argentinas recientes.4 Eso explicaría también la actitud de los que no aplauden el filme, puesto que el representante mayoritario de ese “otro” es el peronismo, de acuerdo con Prividera, aunque los orígenes literarios del tema se remontan a El matadero de Esteban Echeverría (1838-1840). La película se desarrolla en Aquilea, en 1957. Es un año que los guionistas eligieron “porque no proporcionaba ningún dato en especial”, según David Oubiña.5 Pero en la ciudad ficticia hay referentes identificables de Buenos Aires, como la Bombonera, la cancha de Boca Juniors, donde el nombre de la ciudad real puede leerse en un poster. Además, Aquilea fue destruida por Atila en 452, después de tres meses de sitio, lo que podría dar pie para comparar al “otro” con los bárbaros que atacaron al Imperio Romano. El filme relata la resistencia de un grupo de agentes a un intento de invasión que comienza con la introducción de contrabando de un transmisor de radio a la ciudad. La historia está relatada desde el punto de vista de los defensores, cuya actividad clandestina incluso se presta para identificarlos como un grupo parapolicial. Pero los que torturan son los invasores y los de la resistencia son los que tienen un fin trágico. Eso pareciera darles la razón a los que consideran que se asume en el filme la perspectiva ideológica de El matadero. Un problema para identificar Aquilea con Argentina es el tipo de realismo de la película. En primer lugar, hay un efecto de extrañamiento en la representación de los límites de la ciudad del filme, que no pueden ser las de Buenos Aires. Así lo explica el director: “Es cierto que en la frontera norte hay islas como si hubiera un delta, eso hay, pero hay otras cosas. Por ejemplo hacia el nor-noroeste hay una frontera montañosa. Cuando lo escribimos con Borges […], cuando escribimos que llegan, pasan, y hay unas montañas en el fondo. Esa transgresión de saber que no era aquí porque había montañas fue una violencia enorme que nos hicimos a nosotros mismos, y nos reímos mucho”. También crean un efecto de extrañamiento ciertos ruidos que se repiten constantemente. Fueron producidos por Edgardo Cantón en el Laboratorio de Música Electrónica del Instituto Torcuato di Tella. La duda de si sólo forman parte de la banda sonora o los escuchan los personajes es despejada por la escena en la que el agente Lebendiger mueve la cabeza de un lado a otro, como buscando el origen de uno de esos ruidos. Más extrañamente aún, suena como un pájaro en el bowling donde se reúnen los agentes de la resistencia a la invasión, comandados por Herrera. Si en la Aquilea de la película se reconoce visualmente a Buenos Aires, esos sonidos producen la impresión contraria. Los invasores también son representados de una forma extraña. Algunos son gauchos a caballo, y en ellos podría reconocerse a un “otro” rural. Pero hay un desembarco que podría hacer pensar en marines estadounidenses, y dos imágenes que representan a los que invaden de forma desconcertante: las avionetas de la invasión aérea, que no son aviones de combate, y sobre todo los numerosos automóviles que se reúnen silenciosamente en diversos lugares, con los faros encendidos. Son una presencia tan inexplicable como amenazante. Todo eso invita a hacer diversas conjeturas acerca de qué tipo de invasión se trata, en vez de confirmar lo consabido que se desprende del lugar común literario. [...] **Forma sin contenido** En la medida en que Invasión se despega del registro de la Buenos Aires real y de la reproducción del tópico literario, puede hallarse en ella algo más interesante: ya no el contenido sino la forma del conflicto implícito en el temor al “otro”. Jung Ha Kang ve de esa manera la película, en un texto titulado “La forma es el mensaje”: “Si la obra de Santiago, Borges y Bioy Casares puede ser leída como una versión fílmica de la escena […] de la violación, la penetración, la invasión de la civitas, la Ciudad […], por una exterioridad amenazante, las características con las cuales esta última es representada hacen imposible de leer como una ‘alegoría histórica’: ni se trata de la barbarie rosista de Facundo ni del peronismo de Casa tomada, ni de un golpe de Estado militar ni de ninguna manifestación política concreta. Si hay política en Invasión, ella se encuentra en un nivel máximo de la ficcionalización, como un grado cero […], como una forma pura. El enfrentamiento puro es la forma pura de la política: ese es el tema de ese ‘cine puro’ que propone Invasión, y es su forma la que nos conduce a él.” [Cinematek](https://cinematek.be/2026-05-18-20-00/invasion) [Desistfilm Por Pablo Gamba](https://desistfilm.com/entre-borges-y-la-lucha-armada-invasion-de-hugo-santiago-1969/) **For Dreamers, Coffee shots, Orezza, eau de Saint-Georges**

Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week. You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring. Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell. **This month** Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads. **What to expect** Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM. **Who this is for** Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community. **Not the right fit if** You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM. **Details** * Second Monday of every month * 12:00 to 1:30 PM * Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219 * Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive * Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited **About the host** Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method.

If you enjoy knitting, crocheting, working with yarn, this is the group for you. Meet new friends, bring your projects, learn from others.
We normally meet a few times a month during the week from 6-8pm. We will occasionally meet on weekends during daytime hours.

While some are still meeting online, this is an in person event. Please note that we have attendees of all levels of speaking, including some native speakers. All are welcome! Also, as we meet at the same time and place each week, many don’t RSVP on the app, so we will likely have more attendees than noted here. Note: if you are asked to pay and upgrade the Meetup app, this is not necessary. You can ignore this and still attend our meetings. Find us on our [Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1EKw86WJCp/?mibextid=wwXIfr).

Dodgeball is back again! If you’ve been wanting to come out, this is an easy one to join. We’ll be playing for about 1.5 to 2 hours, you do not need to bring any equipment, and no experience is needed. We use a specific set of rules and equipment to make the games run better and keep them fun for everybody, not just people who already know how to play. If it rains, the event will be canceled.

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
