**This week’s session is a structured debate.** The question is not whether you *like* Donald Trump. The question is whether his geopolitical actions represent a coherent long-term strategic recalibration — or short-term transactional disruption. We aim for analytical distance. No cult energy. No Trump Derangement Syndrome. We examine the **who**, **what, why, when, and how**: * What concrete strategic shifts occurred under his policies? * Why did he use tariffs, sanctions, NATO pressure, and bilateral deals as leverage? * When does unpredictability strengthen negotiation? * How did his approach change global alignments? * Did he accelerate the shift from cooperation to competitive realism? This debate welcomes different conclusions: * Was this strategic chess? * Was it destabilizing improvisation? * Was it a transitional phase in a multipolar world? * Did it expose fragilities in the liberal international order? ## **What Makes This Different** We are not here for partisan tribalism. **We welcome:** * **Pro-Trump arguments** * **Anti-Trump arguments** * **Structural/system-level critiques** We reject: * Moral hysteria * Slogan repetition * Performative outrage * Intellectual laziness * TDS This is not a space for ideological defense teams. It is a space for stress-testing ideas. No one will be shamed for defending or criticizing Trump. Ideas will be challenged. Individuals will not. ## **Debate Principles** * Speak from analysis, not emotion * Bring facts, context, or comparative examples * Distinguish personality from policy outcomes * Argue ideas, not identities Strong disagreement is expected. Good faith is required. *** ## **Location & RSVP** 📍 Ixelles – public bar Exact venue shared via WhatsApp after RSVP. Join here to confirm attendance: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LX7UkWGZ3UdLQWLBvNdezN Briefly introduce yourself when joining. AS always, no creeps or people who are looking to date.

IMPORTANT: This Wednesday's session will be held at the Brussels Beer Project. **Rue Antoine Dansaert 188, 1000 Bruxelles** Please take a moment to read the information and rules for the sessions. **Overview:** Improv sessions in English accepting all levels. We play short and long-form improv comedy, which includes theater-style scenes, guessing, and group games. **Topics:** * Timing * Location * Participation (Attendees list) * RSVP rules * Improv session format * Who is it for? (Participation requirement) *** * **Timing** Being on time will help you and everyone. **18h15** \- Doors open *Please take this time to order your drinks/food and settle in.* **18h30** \- Start of the session **Are you late?** Please inform the event host or comment on the event page. If you arrive late and the session is already in progress, please wait on the side till the game/scene is finished. Wait for the session moderator to indicate when you can start participating. * **Location** We have two locations: Monday Sessions: The session takes place on the first floor of The Sister Cafe. Stairs next to the bar. It's the room with a curtain at the door. Wednesday Sessions: At Brussels Beer Poject Rue Antoine Dansaert 188, 1000 Bruxelles * **Participation (Attendee list)** The session is limited to **12 attendees**. This ensures the session is manageable and everybody gets enough chances to participate. Therefore, only the people on the "attendee list" can participate in the session. **Waiting list**: People on the waiting list should keep an eye on the updates in case someone from the attendees' list drops and you get their spot. It's important for the people on the waiting list also to update their RSVP status if they already know they won't be joining the session. **Do you just want to observe?** In the regular session, we do not have an audience, only participants. Please do not join the session if you do not plan to participate in the games/scenes. If you are unsure about something, please contact the event host. *People on the attendee list are expected to take part.* * **RSVP Rules** * Please update your RSVP status in a timely manner if you can't make it to the session. This applies to people on the **attendee list AND waiting list.** * If you are on the waiting list and know you won't be able to join in case someone from the main list drops, please update your RSVP to "not going". This will give the next person on the waiting list a chance. * Emergencies aside, please update your RSVP status on time. Canceling at the last minute or just 1 hour before isn't helpful. * If we see a pattern from someone not showing up after confirming or last-minute cancellations, we reserve the right to prohibit session access. * Please write a comment if you cancel and your spot becomes available. With this, others will get an extra notification. **Improv Session Format** The session is held in English. The session has three sections: Warm-up, Scene games, and Cool down. **Warmup:** Quick group games are played to break the ice and get the creative juices flowing. **Scenes:** Then we move on to scene games. These are mostly from short-form improv, which can include different games with various gimmicks, like story building, character work, guessing, etc **Cool down:** One or two short group games to end the session. The rules are explained by the moderator before each game. There is no obligation to participate in games you are uncomfortable with. There can be feedback after a game is played. This is so we learn from each other and gain skills and insights. **Tip**: If you are new, pay attention to the regular players when they are performing and notice small details, like how a stage is cleared before a scene, how to enter a scene, and how to collaborate with each other. * **Who is it for?** Anyone interested in improv! We accept participants at all levels, beginners and advanced. This is a great place to start if you are new to improv. The basics will be explained. We only require the "Yes, and...!" spirit! If you are an advanced player and have ideas and games to share and work on, please do let us know. We look forward to welcoming you and doing improv!

This playful, welcoming workshop invites you to explore self-empowerment through the art of blackout poetry. Black Out Poetry, or erasure poetry, involves selectively covering words from a printed page to make a new composition. Using existing texts, you’ll uncover words and phrases that resonate with you, transforming ordinary pages into something personal and meaningful. In this workshop, we will examine ourselves and our views of the world, exploring how perspective and experience shape how we bring ourselves to the table. No writing experience needed—just curiosity. Along the way, you’ll slow down, tap into your inner voice, and connect with like-minded people in a relaxed, creative space where discovery and expression come first. Get ready to experiment, play, meet others and have fun. **::::Agenda::::** \- 18:00 Arrival & Welcome \- 18:30 Start of session
 \- 20:00 Closing followed with networking **::: Location:::** Kamilou, Rue Joseph II 36, 1000 Bruxelles (Upstairs) Our guest facilitator is **Maddie Corley**, a respected creative instructor with several years of experience as a songwriter, writer, educator, and artist, working directly as both teacher and learner. She is dedicated to using hands-on learning exercises to advance student growth, confidence, and skillsets. In addition to being student-focused, she is also organization driven, focusing on impact and longevity. An out-of-the-box thinker skilled in public speaking, presentation work, leading groups, and being adaptable to different environments.

This Weekend Morning Coffee Meeting - Sunday Edition - will take place at Addies Stories, an Ethiopian Café with traditional Ethiopian coffee. 🗓 **Sunday, 22 February** ⏰ **from 10:30** 👥 **limited to 22 people - registration is obligatory** **This is an extract from the BUZZ from January 2026:** "Ethiopia is the country most often associated with coffee. Arabica grows in the wild, coffee is roasted at home and the coffee ceremony determines the rhythm of social life. The fact that coffee is so deeply anchored gives an extra dimension to the opening of Addis Stories, a place where it is more about real coffee than about fashion trends and trendy specialties." **https://www.bruzz.be/select/resto-bar/bij-addis-stories-draait-alles-om-pure-ethiopische-koffie-en-traditie-2026-01-24** **https://www.addisstories.com/** **Address:** **Addis Stories** **Rue du Vieux Marché 48** **1000 Brussels** This is one of our Sunday editions, which are usually meant to test new places outside our usual coffee locations. These editions are smaller and more experimental, and focus as much on the place and the neighbourhood as on the group itself. ### ### IMPORTANT Please **do not register if you are unsure you can come**. If you register and later realise you can’t make it, **cancel as soon as possible, latest on Saturday afternoon.** There is often a **waiting list**, and it’s only fair to give people on it a real chance to join. Thank you for being fair and respectful. If you’re **on the waiting list**, please **check your status on Saturday evening at the latest**. See you on Sunday ☕

#### Do you feel lost when opening music production software? Starting music production can feel overwhelming. You may not know where to begin, how to connect your equipment, or how to use the software in a simple and effective way. In this **final pilot workshop, offered free of charge**, music production teacher Federico will guide you step by step through the essential foundations of music production. This session marks the conclusion of our pilot workshop series and is an opportunity to experience the program while helping us refine future editions. You’ll learn how to **set up your software, connect your equipment, and understand the key settings needed before you start creating.** Federico will demonstrate using Ableton Live, but you are welcome to bring and use other DAWs such as Logic Pro, Reason, or Cubase. The concepts apply across all major music production software. By the end of the session, you’ll understand how to move from opening your software to creating your first simple track.

Sometimes, it took them more than one attempt before being able to join.* *Occasionally, people reach out to me before the event, and I have always been grateful for that as it offers the opportunity to communicate with each other and to find the best and most gentle way for that person to join the group.* *I would like to encourage everyone who struggles with this to contact me before. 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!**
