Un tavolo per 20 persone è riservato sotto il nome di Salvatore. Dunque, se non ci sono o se sarò in ritardo, potrete chiedere al barista. È un incontro informale, perché non è un evento strutturato, ma piuttosto un gruppo di persone che si riuniscono per parlare e praticare l'italiano. Anche i nativi italiani sono benvenuti :) Tutto ciò che serve è un sorriso — e puoi anche portare un amico! 👉 **Importante:** * È obbligatorio essere iscritti all’evento su Meetup per partecipare.

[This is a paid event and sign-up via the website is obligatory](https://www.wordcraft-collective.eu/courses/the-unit-and-the-whole%3A-how-to-construct-your-poetry-pamphlet). After running this very successful workshop in autumn 2025 we are running it again for those who might have missed out the first time. In this workshop we will explore how to bring together a group of poems to produce a pamphlet or book. We will explore the notion of the poetry pamphlet versus full collection in terms of the function and purpose of each and how they operate. We will think about structuring a body of work, how to sequence poems and what the organising principles might be. How does the placing of poems together change or enhance the poem? How do we build on and around key themes? We will look at examples of published pamphlets and books to consider how and why authors have brought poems together in the way they have, identifying the choices and opportunities available to poets. Participants are encouraged to bring along their own poems or projects in progress to discuss with others in the group. This workshop is run by poet Paul Stephenson, who has published three poetry pamphlets and one collection.

Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares porte bien son nom. Depuis plus de 70 ans, ce chœur de femmes bulgares enchante par son timbre unique et brut et sa musique énigmatique. Le chœur est devenu célèbre dans le monde entier lorsque l’ethnomusicologue et producteur de musique suisse Marcel Cellier, lui-même sous le charme des chansons folkloriques bulgares, a compilé un album d’arrangements devenu un best-seller inattendu. Le Volume II a remporté un Grammy Award et, depuis, le chœur a donné plus de 1 500 concerts à travers le monde et collaboré avec des artistes célèbres tels que Kate Bush et U2. À Bozar, découvrez l’énergie vitale insufflée par les voix magiques de l’ensemble dans les harmonies palpitantes et aux rythmes entraînants de la musique traditionnelle bulgare.

We will be walking through the forest for a little over 1 1/2 hours, silently, just noticing the world around us and inside us. The idea is to experience the magic of a different type of walking, The invitation is to slow down and notice what is going on inside you and around you. Very often people experience a closer connection with nature and with self, with sometimes surprising insights. *Please make sure you are fit enough to go the 4.5 km distance. We will be walking slowly, but we will not take any breaks.* We will be meeting at the Hermann Debroux Metro at **14h**. (Exit straight ahead after leaving the platform--on the Loxam side). If you RSVP as coming, please be on time. We will be starting our walk from there 5 min. after the hour sharp. There is the renovated Maison de Prieur at the exit of the forest where we could gather for a drink or a meal after our walk, depending on what you feel like. Looking forward to an inward adventure? Come and join us on **Saturday, April 25, at 14h** My phone number is 0472 92 11 76, in case you need to communicate with me.

[ENG version below] **Este es un evento pagado. Puedes comprar los tickets aquí: https://meetu.ps/e/PZQzT/FDYTT/i Los tickets incluyen una bebida y snacks.** Prepárate para una reunión única, llena de cultura, música y sabor boricua, hecha por boricuas. El año pasado fui a una fiesta "supuestamente" puertorriqueña en Lieja y enseguida me di cuenta de que no la habían organizado puertorriqueños y que no había nada boricua, ¡ni siquiera la música! Como puertorriqueña, decidí hacer algo al respecto y organizar una fiesta en Bruselas con compatriotas puertorriqueñass, con nuestra música, cultura y cócteles y cócteles sin alcohol con inspiración de nuestra isla y nuestros sabores. ¡Únete a nosotros para una noche de baile y cultura puertorriqueña! ¡Ven con tu mejor atuendo caribeño chic, porque tendremos un premio para el mejor outfit! -ENG- **This is a paid event. You can purchase your tickets here: https://meetu.ps/e/PZQzT/FDYTT/i Tickets include a drink and snacks.** Get ready for a unique gathering full of culture, music, and authentic Puerto Rican flavor, created by Puerto Ricans for everyone. Last year, I attended what was advertised as a “Puerto Rican” party in Liège, only to quickly realize it wasn’t organized by Puerto Ricans and there was nothing Puerto Rican about it, not even the music. As a proud Boricua, I decided to change that. Together with fellow Puerto Ricans, we’re bringing an authentic Puerto Rican party to Brussels, featuring our music, our culture, and Puerto Rican inspired cocktails and mocktails. Join us for an evening of dancing, community, and true Boricua vibes. Come dressed in your best Caribbean Chic outfit. We will be awarding a prize for the best look. Please note: The main language of the event will be Spanish, but everyone is welcome regardless of language level. Come enjoy the music, atmosphere, and culture.

Hello, readers ! In April we are reading The Hour Of The Star by Clarice Lispector . We will meet at Maison de Quartier Malibran, Rue de la Digue 10, 1050 Ixelles. **Please keep your RSVP up to date** and happy reading!

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

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.
