Fun Social Night in Brussels
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.
With attendees in their 20s and 30s from across the globe, it’s where ideas and friendships flourish.
Let’s connect over words and waffles.
Saturday (!) coffee morning
**International House Leuven** organizes a coffee morning for those of you who like to chat and meet some friendly (new) faces. It's also a good place to ask questions, get answers and find out about what’s happening in Leuven. Our coffee morning is what you make it. So pop in and out whenever you like, see who is there, and say hi!
Other than meeting on Friday mornings every two weeks at the IHL house, for this edition we will meet on a **Saturday every two weeks**, so that those who work during the week have a chance to come!
Who's "we"? Well it varies a bit, but this time it will be volunteers from the IH, Zeba and/or Georgi!
The practicalities:
\- the coffee morning goes for 2 hours\, for the exact time check the event details\. Feel free to pop in and out at any point\, no need to stay the entire time if that doesn't suit your own timing\.
\- The location is stated in the event details\. Any changes will be communicated via MeetUp and the WhatsApp group on the day of\.\.\.\.
\- ask the event volunteer at the event to be added to the Whatsapp group for future updates
\- We will **limit the group size** because the cafe has limited seating, so please register so we know how many people are coming (and please respect your reservation, AKA cancel if you can no longer come :) ) Be aware that we cannot make a group reservation, so we may have to split up between a few tables.
Hope to see you at this special coffee morning weekend edition!

**THE STRUCTURE of THE EVENT:**
* I post the event on Saturday/Sunday for the following Saturday.
* I send out a reminder as an email or a comment on the event page on Thursday/Friday.
* There is sometimes a waiting list.
* **For everyone on the waiting,** please check your status and messages on Friday evening the latest. I message everyone on the waiting list on Friday.
* **Please, move to "not going" AS SOON AS you know that you can't come anymore, that includes everyone who is on the waiting list.**
**IMPORTANT:**
* When you register yourself, be careful not to register accidentally a +1 guest (unless you bring a guest). It happens very often.
* If you have any questions then, message me.
***
**A MESSAGE FOR NEWCOMERS:**
*In the first three years of hosting this coffee group, I have met many people who struggle with anxieties when coming to an event for the first time. 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!**

A sad and beautiful world
Dir*: Cyril Aris. Lebanon/USA/Germany/Saudi Arabia/Qatar. 2025. 109mins*
A couple are constantly buffeted between hope and heartbreak in *A Sad And Beautiful World,* Cyril Aris’s first fiction feature which follows the lovers over three decades as they navigate the legacy of past lives and a Lebanon marked by civil-war. The result is an appealing, soulful romance with a considerable emotional tug, which now plays Red Sea competition following a premiere at Venice (where it shared the People’s Choice award with Vladlena Sandu’s Memory) and extensive festival play. It has also been selected as Lebanon’s official Oscar submission.

The Language Café 🌍 (ES) ☕️🌶️
¡Ey, qué tal!
¿Crees que podrías sobrevivir solo con tu español? Vamos a ponerlo a prueba con un cafecito☕️ (o con lo que te dé la gana en el momento, ya sea una bebida o un snack )
Dónde:
Leopold PDN. Este café puede ser algo difícil de encontrar, especialmente cuando llueve ️☔️, pero así empieza la aventura, ¿no? No esperes hasta estar completamente perdido—mándame un mensaje antes de empezar a maldecir Google Maps ️.
‼️️Si el clima se porta, picnic en el parque (Cinquantenaire), obvio 🌳🧺
La idea:
Pides algo (¡obligatorio! ☝️) y te unes a la mesa. Empezamos con una mini intro y luego hablamos de todo: actividades, viajes, música… Y si tienes ganas, ¡jugamos a algo! Todo en español, así que ¡prepárate para la inmersión! Dependiendo de cuántos seamos, podemos dividirnos por niveles para que todos disfruten al máximo.
Juegos:
Nada de tableros gigantes que acaben tirando los cafés por toda la mesa. Solo juegos rápidos y divertidos (tipo UNO o Exploding Kittens ). Yo llevaré unos, pero si tienes alguno que te guste, tráelo sin miedo. Eso sí, los juegos con texto, ¡en español!
⏱ Horarios:
Empezamos a las 15:00, pero si llegas más tarde, no pasa nada, te unes cuando quieras y te quedas el rato que quieras.
¿Vas a llegar después de las 15:30? Dímelo en el chat para guardarte un lugar.
Lista de espera
Si estás en la lista de espera pero realmente quieres venir, o si tienes cualquier duda, mándame un mensaje directo...
Más info se puede compartir en el chat o por DM —asegúrate de revisar tus mensajes el día antes para no perderte nada crítico .
🐈⬛ El Código de los Amigos:
Nada de formalidades – aquí venimos a divertirnos
Respeto y buena onda – si no,
¡¿Los errores?! ¡Nos dan igual! Y si nos cuesta, cambiamos al inglés o mejor: 💃
¿No puedes venir? Cancela para que alguien en la lista de espera pueda tomar tu lugar
Si estás en la lista de espera, no te presentes sin confirmación.
¡Hasta luego!

Postcolonial?
The House of European History explores Europe’s colonial legacy in its new temporary exhibition “Postcolonial?” Starting with the structural foundations of European colonialism, going through how Europeans preserved power as their empires collapsed and in what manner that affected newly independent countries, the exhibition takes us to present times. It invites us to reflect on the ways colonial history still shapes life today.
Unique artworks, historical objects and personal stories accompany the visitor throughout this much-needed European reckoning with colonialism.
