Conversazione in italiano @ Poppy's - Vicino parvis st gilles
Ciao a tutti!
Ci ritroviamo ogni venerdì dalle 18:00 per un bicchiere (si può anche mangiare) da Poppy's Bar, che si trova a 2 minuti di camminata da Parvis St Gilles. 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.
L’iscrizione è importante per gli organizzatori, perché permette di conoscere il numero dei partecipanti e di garantire la sicurezza e il benessere di tutti i presenti.
* Se cambiano le vostre circostanze e non potete più venire, annullate la vostra partecipazione per lasciare posto ad altri.
* Vi chiediamo di assicuravi di pagare i vostri consumi, per evitare che gli organizatori saranno rimasti a pagare per gli altri.
* Si prega di non parlare di politica cosi ci godiama la serata in tranquilita, di rispettare tutti i partecipanti e di non trattare l’incontro come un appuntamento romantici o intimo: l’obiettivo è semplicemente praticare e migliorare l’italiano in un ambiente piacevole e rilassato.

Picnic & Games 🌳🧺🏸 🎲 (TBC🌤️)
What's up Friends! 👋
If the weather gods feel generous 🌤️, we’re going full park mode: picnic 🧺🌳, games, laughs… and a touch of chaos ✨
‼️If not - we'll switch to the usual indoor format at Le Pantin or Café Leopold PDN.
📍Where
Park Cinquantenaire, Tour de Tournai 🏰 (that little castle-looking thingy in the park).
Can’t find us? 🤷♀️ Just ping me here.
💡 The Idea
Chill picnic: bring your own drinks 🧃, snacks 🥪🍓, blanket, and games 🎲🏸 (sharing always appreciated 😋).
We’ll break into small groups depending on the vibe: games, chats, sports.
⏱️ Timing
We kick off at 14:00. Stay as long as you like.
Joining later? Just drop a message in the chat in case we decide to move 😊.
🎲🏸 Games
All games are welcome in the park - boards, cards, balls, random stuff! I’ll have a few with me, but feel free to add your own favorites too.
🚦On the waitlist but really want to join? Or got any questions? Just DM me.
📢 Extra info might drop in the group chat or via DM 💬. Check your messages 👀 the day before so you don't miss anything critical 🙄.
🐈⬛ The Friends Code:
👉 Games we play = group decision
👉 Smaller groups = cozier vibes
👉 Got a favorite game? Suggest it or show up with it
👉 Can't make it? Cancel on time so someone on the waitlist can grab your spot
👉 If you’re on the waitlist, showing up is at your own risk 😄
See you there, folks 😉
Blood on the clock tower (Intermediate) @ Sofitel Place Jourdan
**Please update your attendance if you can not join as this game as we need to know the exact number of players.**
We will most likely play the following script:

🌿 Forest Escape: Sonian Forest Walk & Sunset Drinks (Uccle)
**Step out of the city, slow down, and reconnect — with nature and new people.**
### 🌱 Experience Overview
Join us for a relaxed afternoon walk through the beautiful **Forêt de Soignes**, one of Brussels’ most peaceful natural escapes. This is a soft, social hike designed for connection — no rush, no pressure — just fresh air, forest paths, and good conversations.
We’ll start at **Gare Boitsfort** and follow a scenic route through the forest and the southern edges of Uccle, gradually making our way to **Gare Uccle Calevoet**, where we’ll wrap up with drinks together.
Expect a mix of tall beech trees, quiet trails, and that feeling of being far away — while still in Brussels.

Sketch & Chill 🎨🌿 (TBC🌤️)
What’s up Friends! 👋
If the weather behaves, we’re going for a chill drawing meetup: good vibes, new people, sketching side by side ✨
📍 Where
We meet at Park Cinquantenaire, in front of the "Tour de Tournai" 🏰 (the tiny castle-looking thingy).
From there, we’ll pick a spot that feels right - usually somewhere outdoors 🌿
Can’t find us? 🤷🏻 Ping me here.
💡 The Idea
Simple: we sit, we draw, we chat. No teacher, no pressure. Just people sketching next to each other and sharing tips if it happens naturally.
Bring whatever you like: notebook + pen ✏️ or full watercolor chaos 🎨💦
All styles, all levels welcome.
Don't forget to dress for the weather (we’re usually outside) and bring something to sit on - blanket, mat, foldable chair… whatever keeps you comfy.
⏱️ Timing
We start at 14:00. Stay as long as you like.
Joining later? Drop a message in the chat in case we’ve moved 😊
Once the sketches are done (or we need a break), we might grab a drink if we feel like it.
💸 Price
Free. Just show up and draw.
🚦 On the waitlist but really want to join? Or got questions? DM me.
📢 Extra info might drop in the group chat or via DM 💬 Check your messages the day before so you don’t miss anything important 👀
🐈⬛ The Friends Code:
👉 Draw what you want, how you want - no judgement
👉 Sharing tips = welcome, not expected
👉 Small groups = chill vibes
👉 Got cool materials? Bring them, flex them
👉 Keep your valuables close — it’s easy to get carried away
👉 Can’t make it? Cancel in time so someone else can join
👉 Don't show up if you are on the waitlist
See you there 😉
Dinant loop (25 km)
As the other days of the long weekend look somewhat rainy, here another suggestion for the sunny Friday - a hike starting and ending in the picturesque town of Dinant.
We will get a warm-up climb out of town along the quarry of Leffe, until the path levels out and takes us on a big loop on top of the plateau, with mostly open landscape, fields, meadows and apparently even some wineyards. Expect wide views, some small forests and a few pretty villages along the way. Finally we will steeply descend back into Dinant, where we can find treats for all tastes before heading home.
The number of participants is limited to 20, so please manage your registration responsibly: only sign up if you really intend to come and cancel as soon as you know you can’t (this also goes for people on the waiting list!).
We will try to keep close to an average moving speed of 5km/h. We will walk both on paved and unpaved roads. I’ve not tested this track beforehand, so it’s possible that there are some mistakes in the planning (i.e. it may become longer ;-).
●●You can find the gpx track here:
**Komoot:** https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2797070348?share_token=ampZcY2zXOi42SDm4snE9c1mxHKcu56TO4PNySvYJnl00cHCmq&ref=wtd
**Wikiloc:** https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/dinant-loop-261693472
●●Meeting point:
We meet at 9.10 in Bruxelles Schuman train station in front of the ticket machines. Our train (IC 2509 to Dinant) leaves from platform 2 at 09.23. We'll arrive in Dinant at 10.49.
●● Train ticket:
One way ticket is 11.40€ or 6.80€ with train+
●● Trains back to Brussels:
Direct trains from Dinant to BXL are every hour at XX.13, with an additional connection at XX.38 with change in Namur every two hours.
●● Specifics:
Distance: ± 25 km
Elevation gain: 420 m
Net walking time: ± 5.5 h
Weather forecast: sunny and warm.
In the unlikely case of too bad weather, I may cancel a hike, even few hours before the event. If this must happen, I will of course update the Meetup website and send out an email to those registered. So it is important to have access to either the Meetup website and/or your emails.
●● What to bring:
* Comfortable hiking clothes
* Comfortable hiking shoes
* water + food for the breaks
* tick/mosquito repellent
* Compeed for blisters
* some small money for the drinks
●● Basic rules:
Please RSVP only if you really intend to come. And if your plans change, update your RSVP asap, even hours before the walk. This is basic courtesy towards others. Repeated late cancellations are not well considered (at all). No-shows are even worse.
Do not show up for a hike unless you are on the “going” list.
●● Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability:
You are responsible for yourself and should be fit enough if you want to take part. As the participation in the events is strictly voluntary and you freely choose to join, it is the responsibility of individuals participating to ensure that they are fit enough and have adequate coverage to protect themselves. By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organisers from any responsibility and liability.

Italian Gourmet Picnic Edition 🇮🇹☀️🍷
**UPDATE**
Hello, change of plan for Saturday. This week i am a bit busy and unable to cook in advance so Sunday we pivot to Bring and Share, bring food or drinks you like to share with others(home made food is always a winner and please bring a cup, a plate fork and knife etc ect for yourself, this event is freestyle) , To join please go this is the chat for this event in order not to spam the main Chat here. https://chat.whatsapp.com/BGDqWPKn0D9CZZZdAQR21p
We will also play games like Uno, Undercover, Werewolf, Assasins
Important:
Spots are limited.
Maximum 15 people.
We keep our events intentionally curated.
Like many social groups, **some meetups** end up attracting pushy behavior, **unwanted flirting**, fake intentions, and people who mistake a community event for a **dating ground**. **We have no interest in that circus.**
Our goal is simple: **a** **safe, relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere where people can actually connect, eat, laugh, and feel comfortable.**
That is why:
• We vet participants before confirming attendance
• Exact location is shared **privately only** with approved guests
• We prefer genuine people over large random numbers
• Respectful **behavior** is mandatory
• Unwanted flirting, creepy conduct, pressure, or harassment means immediate exclusion
So, if you are a women **you do not need to sign up on Meetup**.
Instead, **send us a private message first** with a short introduction.
And alert us if you have been targeted by any of the many creeps who infest other meetups were sometimes even the admins are creeps.
It keeps the group better, safer, and far more enjoyable for everyone.
My girlfriend and I know very well that many meetups are flooded with creeps. **We built something different on purpose.**
**Again: If you’d like to join, privately reply to me with a message to me reserve your spot.**

**A MESSAGE FOR NEWCOMERS:**
*In the 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!**
Football match at Parc du Cinquantenaire
If you have a ball, please bring it...
Let's gather at the Parc du Cinquantenaire close to the Tour de Tournai (https://goo.gl/maps/RsxFtTJydq92) and organize a *low-level* football match on the grass. Unless it rains badly as we're about to play, the game is on.
Players of any age, weight, sex and size are allowed. Come as you are, at any time after 4pm.
IMPORTANT REMINDER -- As Shitty Players, we don't bite or growl when someone misses the ball. We don't do penalties or yellow cards because we're so gentle we don't need them. We vaguely know of the existence of other rules like off-side but we'd rather ignore them than argue about them. We may or may not keep track of the score: this is a game where everyone wins.
To help build the Team, come with 2 t-shirts white and black (or similar colors: light grey and dark blue etc). Beer session will follow on the grass, for those who survive till the end.

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!
Cinematek : Eat Drink Man Woman
**Cinematek : Eat Drink Man Woman**
03/05 @ 16h30
Ang Lee’s generous, touching Eat Drink Man Woman focuses on master chef Chu and his three daughters (all of them living at home) as they confront seismic changes in their lives. The film is the third instalment in Ang Lee’s family trilogy, known unofficially (and ironically) as the Father Knows Best series, largely because venerable actor Sihung Lung (whom Lee lured out of retirement) played a father in each film. Constructed around a series of all-in family dinners, where each of the characters eventually (very reluctantly) drops a bombshell announcement, Eat Drink hinges on the tension between modernity and tradition, family and personal freedom, and, especially, the necessity of confiding and sharing. With the profound empathy that typifies his best work, Lee drops us into the drama without much explanation and carefully disrupts our assumptions about the characters ― and the narratives they construct about themselves. By the end, no one is exactly who we thought they were at the beginning. It’s driven by a formidable cast, including Yang Kuei-Mei as Jia-Jen, the eldest daughter and a devout Christian; Wu Chien-Lien as airline executive Jia-Chien (who has the most problematic relationship with her father); Yu-Wen Wang as the youngest daughter Jia-Ning; and legendary actor director Sylvia Chan as Jia-Jen’s best friend Jin-Rong. Warning: plan for a late meal. Lee’s masterful montages of Chu and Jia-Chien cooking are as mouthwatering and hunger-inducing as the noodles in Jûzô Itami’s Tampopo.

Nick @ Night + Fire + Freestyle
**URGENT NOTICE: VENUE AND FORMAT CHANGE -** due to our agreement with Alive614 we are getting bumped from the space this Friday and will instead be meeting at Nick's house. Now our format will be "Nick @ Night + Fire + Freestyle." That means A.) No formal wine tasting, B.) Bring a bottle of wine to share and C.) Wear fire retardant clothing so you don't burst into flames while standing by the bonfire AND D.) braving the risk of being redundant, we will be meeting at Nick's House.
**Door Charge: *$0*.** There is no door charge this night.
**SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings. You are still welcome.
**Wine**: Please do bring a bottle.
**Parking**: Street parking only. This is a residential area.
**Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass!
**Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.
**Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.
**After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, just go home. Call an Uber if needed, but please don't sleep in Nick's back yard. His neighbors are friendly, but let's not push it.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.
Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***,
**Red 1 Realty**
