Internationals and expats in Leuven (by International House)

Are you a parent living in the Leuven area wanting to connect with other parents? This event is made for you!

Join Jasmina and/or Lexi for a meetup with fellow parents.

This time they will meet in one of the fields behind Park Abbey (in the field with all the rabbits) for a picnic! Kids are welcome!

We will keep everyone updated on the day of via a whatsapp group, which we will share prior to the event.

Join us at IHL for a joyful board game evening, accessible to all!

Whether you've never touched a board game in your life or you're a complex Euro aficionado, you'll definitely find like-minded people to share your evening with. Depending on the mood and the attendees, you might find yourself in a big group trying to cobble together word meanings from obscure clues in Codenames, engaging in an intense duel in 7 Wonders: Duel, struggling to build the perfect deck in Dominion, or diving into the mechanics of Brass: Birmingham for the first time.

We’ll provide a variety of games from our collection to ensure everyone has something to play, but don’t hesitate to bring your own games if you're ready to teach them!

If you’re new to Leuven, board games are a great way to meet new people, share enjoyable moments, and engage in a fulfilling activity. Don’t be afraid to register!

The event starts at 7 PM at International House Leuven.

# About the volunteers

Morgan seriously got into board games in 2020, lacking a big group, he started to build his own collection out of mostly two player games. He enjoys complex euro games with deep mechanics, fun social games and a lot in between!

Thomas has been living in Leuven for four years and has frequently attended events organized by IHL. After spending this time as a participant, he finally decided to start organizing events centered around his hobbies, particularly board games. A passionate enthusiast, Thomas enjoys all types of board games and often hosts gatherings at his home.

Pez, originally from the UK, is a digital nomad who settled in Leuven after several years of full time travel. He’s been here since 2020, and loves hosting events and activities for friends, family and people in town. At the weekend you’re likely to find him playing board games, hosting a gathering of friends, planning for his non-profit camping festival, or off exploring somewhere
