The focus is on practical skills you can immediately reuse — from framing and light to sound and storytelling.

You’ll learn how to plan key shots in advance so your video feels coherent, dynamic, and professional — not random or improvised. **• Filming Professional Interviews with Your Phone** Master practical techniques for framing, positioning your subject, working with available light, and capturing clean, usable sound.

You’ll film footage outside, learning how to adapt to changing light, sound, and spontaneous moments. **• Introduction to CapCut & Editing Your Video** A clear, step-by-step introduction to editing on your phone. Learn how to select the best shots, structure your story, add sound, titles, and polish your video using CapCut. **• Hands-On Practice with Personal Feedback** Most of the day is dedicated to filming, experimenting, solving real problems, and receiving direct guidance.

Tripods and microphones will be provided for practice during the workshop. Please also bring headphones compatible with your phone. **We work only in small groups – a maximum 8 participants!** **Why This Workshop?** This workshop is designed so that every participant gains real, hands-on experience — not just theory. You will actively film, experiment, and learn throughout the process, and leave with a **finished short video** created from the material we produce together. Unlike large trainings with limited interaction, this is an **intensive small-group format (max. 8 participants)**, allowing the trainer to work closely with each person. You’ll receive individual attention across both technical and creative aspects, tailored to your goals and level. The aim is to create a focused yet relaxed environment where learning is practical, personal, and enjoyable — combining serious skill development with curiosity, experimentation, and plenty of fun along the way. **TRAINER – ANJA STRELEC** Anja is a **documentary filmmaker, audiovisual director, photographer, and experienced visual storyteller**, working across formats from **short social media videos to feature-length documentary films**. She has collaborated with **various TV channels, the European Commission, NGOs, UNICEF, and Special Olympics among others** and her films have been **screened and awarded at international festivals**. Alongside her filmmaking work, she leads **hands-on workshops** that help participants develop their visual voice and storytelling skills. Her teaching style is **individual-oriented and practical** – so by the end of the workshop, you already know how to confidently use your new skills.

It would really be too bad if you can't join us, as it mostly gets better the second or third time you come.* *In addition to that, if you arrive and notice any signs of nervousness or fear, you can always let me know right then.* **THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALL ON SATURDAY!** **LOCATION:** Château Moderne Mont des Arts 1 1000 Bruxelles

Spring is shyly tucking us into its first rays of sunshine, yet the world may feel so heavy for many of us. In moments like these, we might find comfort in our friends and community, in giving back, and in contributing to something meaningful. I am delighted to join [the spring campaign supporting Yoga & Sports for Refugees](https://yogasportwithrefugees.org/fitness-marathon/), a non‑profit offering sport and social spaces to refugees and asylum seekers in Greece and France, with a special focus on empowering women through movement. **On 18 April at 16:30, I warmly invite you to join me for a charity Yin Yoga class where proceeds will be fully dedicated to refugee women.** Your donation will help provide culturally appropriate athletic clothing, yoga equipment, childcare support so refugee mothers can have a moment to breathe, and transportation so women can safely attend their yoga classes. During this gentle hour of Yin, followed by a warm cup of tea and a moment to connect, you’ll deepen your practice in a way that reaches beyond the mat. By caring for yourself, you also uplift others and help build a world rooted in kindness. [Registration is free via the House of Yoga app](https://backoffice.bsport.io/booker-module-s/2409/36174364?membership=2409). Donations will be collected on-site and must be made in cash or via a QR code transfer, so please be mindful of that. A minimum contribution of €15 is recommended.

What's up Friends! 👋 
Ready for some bouldering fun? Boulder-what? 🤔 It’s climbing (FR: escalade, le bloc) up to 4.5m high without ropes—and in my case, without much hope! 😂✨ It’s a super fun indoor activity, but be warned: it does require a certain level of physical fitness and/or skill. Most importantly, though, it requires awesome company—which we’ve got! 😎
 The Idea: 📍 Meeting Point: For those arriving at 17:00, we’ll meet at the cafeteria (next to the billiards table). Feel free to start earlier or later—just drop me a message or write in the group chat so we can meet up. 💪 Stay & climb as long as you want - venue closes at midnight! 🥤 Recharge: If you’ve had enough climbing for the day (we usually do this after 2 hours of climbing), we may head back to the cafeteria (or to the rooftop if it's sunny🌤️) for snacks, drinks & games. Cafeteria closes at 22:00. Where: 📍Arkose: (Brussels Canal) Rue Willy de Bruyn Straat 52, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgique 🔗 https://arkose.com/

Fees: 🤑Entry fee without shoes: - 18 eur (first-timers 10€ with online promo activated) - reduced rates: students, minors, job seekers, firefighters, military (proof required) 👟 Shoe Rental: 5€ (if you don’t have your own) 🎫 10-session pass: 150€
 Good to Know: ✍️ First-timers need to create an account (takes 5min) - do it in advance and pay online to pay less and avoid wasting time onsite 💦 Hydration is key! Bring a water bottle. 🔐 Lockers available, but bring your own padlock. 🚿 Changing rooms & showers on-site. 👕 Wear comfy sports clothes—it gets intense! 🧴 Only liquid magnesium is allowed (for grip) - in reality most people use powder🤫 👟 Thinking of going regularly? Bouldering shoes are a great investment! (Decathlon: ~45-65€ per pair.)

⚠️ Safety First! Bouldering is fun, but safety comes first! Stay alert, know your limits, and don’t take unnecessary risks. Enjoy responsibly! 💪

Welcome to our weekly event in the upstairs room of The Sister Café, rue Chair et Pain 3, one block from the Grand Place. Please get there early enough to order your drink at the bar first. Thank you! After introductions we will collect questions from the group participants, choose one by voting then discuss it for an hour. Then most of us stay for drinks and bizarre conversations. Past questions have been wide and not confined to academic philosophy: What is a genuine friend? Is social media turning us into emotional zombies? Do we lose some of the experience of things by defining them? Are we driven by sex? Is loneliness a personal failure? Is morality relative? **Crucially, be kind and respectful and generous** in your disagreements; remember how much you personally enjoy someone else proving you wrong before celebrating your cutting counterexamples.
