Home Cooking

Small curated movie nights in a hidden garden in Ixelles, next to Place Flagey. A mix of: * **cult classics** * **recent movies** * **international cinema** * **comedy nights** * **karaoke & dubbing chaos nights** * **comfort food and summer vibes** **This is not a giant public Meetup** where 40 strangers stand awkwardly around overpriced drinks pretending networking is fun. Humanity already suffered enough. Our idea is simple: we gather in a private home and transform the courtyard into a small outdoor cinema. Sometimes we cook together before the movie: Italian, Thai, Lebanese, Japanese, Balkan, Greek, Latin American street food etc. Sometimes people simply grab pizza from the excellent pizzeria next door and join the screening. Food is intentionally relaxed: bowls, finger food, street food, popcorn, snacks, comfort food. **Some nights are more gourmet.** Some are glorified pizza-and-movie nights. Both are valid forms of civilization **;-)** ## **What makes this different** The group is i**ntentionally small**: usually 6 to 8 people maximum. **People are introduced properly.** Nobody gets abandoned in a corner. The atmosphere stays human, social and safe. **No heavy drinking.** **No creepy behavior.** No random people showing up uninvited. Smoking is allowed because is outside in the courtyard and occasionally we may have **hookah nights** depending on the movie/theme. ## **Typical evenings** * Wong Kar-wai + Asian comfort food * Spaghetti western + Italian street food * Anime + sushi night * Greek cinema + mezze * Balkan chaos cinema + burek * Cult movie dubbing nights where people voice scenes live karaoke-style Yes, this is a real thing now apparently. ## **Important** Because Meetups and public internet are full of bots, spam accounts and socially radioactive individuals, **we do NOT post the exact address publicly.** To join: scan the QR code on the image and request access to the private WhatsApp group or send me a DM. From there: * we announce movies * vote on menus * organize cooking nights * coordinate places **If you are new in Brussels, introverted, traveling, recently arrived, or simply tired of giant impersonal events, this may be your thing.**

We will meet at parc royal in front of the Woodpecker This event aims to gather science fiction enthusiasts to come discuss about the series they have picked to read in the following list: Children of Time, Tchaikovsky Pandora series, Peter Hamilton The Hyperion Cantos, Dan Simmons A memory called empire, Arkady Martine Terra Ignota, Ada Palmer Ideally we could meet in a park if the weather is already pleasant, otherwise we will find a cafe with a calm area where we can discuss around a drink/breakfast. Feel free to join us even if you haven’t finished the series. Please note, however, that we will be discussing all the books—including the ending—so there will be spoilers.

🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 # 🇰🇷☕ Korean Starter Club – Apprendre le coréen autrement Bonjour à tous ! 😊 Je m'appelle Sohyeon et je vis actuellement en France. J'enseigne le coréen depuis la période du Covid et, comme beaucoup d'entre vous, j'adore apprendre les langues. Je parle et j'apprends actuellement : 🇫🇷 Français 🇬🇧 Anglais 🇷🇺 Russe 🇨🇳 Chinois 🇯🇵 Japonais En apprenant et en enseignant différentes langues, je me suis souvent posé plusieurs questions : 🤔 Comment apprendre une nouvelle langue lorsqu'on manque de temps ? 🤔 Comment aider les enfants ou les personnes qui ont des difficultés avec la lecture ? 🤔 Comment créer un environnement où l'on peut réellement parler la langue étudiée ? 🤔 Comment gagner en confiance lorsqu'on apprend une langue ? 🤔 Est-il possible d'enseigner uniquement dans la langue cible tout en restant compréhensible pour tous ? --- ✨ C'est à partir de ces réflexions que j'ai créé mon propre programme. Un programme différent de ceux que l'on trouve dans les manuels classiques. L'objectif est simple : 🇰🇷 Apprendre le coréen en utilisant le coréen dès le premier jour. 💬 Comprendre naturellement grâce au contexte, aux images, aux gestes et aux interactions. 🤝 Créer une communauté où chacun peut progresser ensemble. --- # 🌱 Korean Starter Club Ce meetup est un programme d'initiation destiné aux débutants et aux personnes souhaitant reprendre confiance à l'oral. L'objectif est de découvrir une nouvelle façon d'apprendre le coréen, de pratiquer ensemble et de rencontrer d'autres personnes partageant le même intérêt pour la langue et la culture coréennes. 📢 Les possibilités de poursuivre l'apprentissage après ce programme seront présentées directement pendant les meetups. --- # ☕ Tea Time après le cours Après les cours, nous prendrons un moment ensemble autour d'un thé ou d'un café. 🍵 Pratiquer le coréen 💬 Discuter librement 🤝 Faire connaissance 🌍 Rencontrer des personnes partageant les mêmes centres d'intérêt --- # 🎯 Ce meetup est pour vous si... ✅ Vous ne connaissez absolument pas le coréen ✅ Vous avez déjà étudié mais vous manquez de pratique à l'oral ✅ Vous souhaitez apprendre avec d'autres personnes plutôt que seul(e) ✅ Vous êtes un enfant ou un jeune adulte d'origine coréenne né en France ✅ Vous manquez de temps pour suivre des cours traditionnels et faire beaucoup de devoirs ✅ Vous avez besoin de motivation pour apprendre ✅ Vous connaissez un peu la grammaire mais vous n'osez pas parler ✅ Vous aimeriez comprendre progressivement les dramas, émissions ou vidéos coréennes ✅ Vous préparez un voyage en Corée ✅ Vous souhaitez communiquer plus facilement avec un ami, un partenaire ou un membre de votre famille coréen ✅ Vous préférez apprendre en utilisant la langue plutôt qu'en mémorisant des règles ✅ Vous avez déjà abandonné plusieurs fois l'apprentissage d'une langue en étant seul(e) ✅ Vous souhaitez vous faire de nouveaux amis ✅ Vous cherchez une nouvelle activité ou un nouveau hobby ✅ Vous aimez découvrir différentes cultures et rencontrer des personnes du monde entier --- # 🎁 Bonus réservé aux membres Chaque mois, les participants du Korean Starter Club reçoivent : 🍳 Un coupon de réduction de 5€ pour les ateliers de cuisine coréenne One World Kitchen. --- # 🌍 Format en ligne & présentiel Afin de permettre au plus grand nombre de participer : 💻 Version en ligne 🏠 Version en présentiel à Villejuif Après le cours de 15h, un petit tea time sera également organisé pour les participants présents sur place. ☕✨ --- # 👥 Venez seul(e) ou accompagné(e) Pas besoin de connaître quelqu'un !

Si l'apprentissage des langues vous a déjà semblé difficile ou solitaire, rejoignez-nous! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 # 🇰🇷☕ Korean Starter Club – Learn Korean Differently Hello everyone! 😊 My name is Sohyeon, and I currently live in France. I've been teaching Korean since the Covid period, and like many of you, I love learning languages. I currently speak and study: 🇫🇷 French 🇬🇧 English 🇷🇺 Russian 🇨🇳 Chinese 🇯🇵 Japanese While learning and teaching languages, I've often asked myself several questions: 🤔 What if someone wants to learn a new language but doesn't have much time? 🤔 How can children or people who struggle with reading learn a language effectively? 🤔 How can we create an environment where people can actually speak the language they are learning? 🤔 How can learners gain confidence while learning a language? 🤔 Is it possible to teach entirely in the target language while making sure students understand everything? --- ✨ These questions inspired me to create my own learning program. A program different from what you usually find in traditional textbooks. The goal is simple: 🇰🇷 Learn Korean by using Korean from day one. 💬 Understand naturally through context, visuals, gestures, and interaction. 🤝 Build a community where everyone can learn and grow together. --- # 🌱 Korean Starter Club This meetup is an introductory program designed for complete beginners and for people who want to regain confidence when speaking Korean. The goal is to discover a new way of learning Korean, practice together, and meet others who share the same interest in Korean language and culture. 📢 Opportunities to continue learning after this program will be presented during the meetups. --- # ☕ Tea Time After Class After class, we'll spend some time together over tea or coffee. 🍵 Practice Korean 💬 Chat freely 🤝 Get to know each other 🌍 Meet people with similar interests --- # 🎯 This meetup is for you if... ✅ You know absolutely no Korean ✅ You've studied Korean before but need more speaking practice ✅ You'd rather learn with others than study alone ✅ You are a Korean child or young adult born and raised in France ✅ You don't have enough time for traditional language courses and lots of homework ✅ You need motivation to keep learning ✅ You know some grammar but hesitate when it's time to speak ✅ You'd like to gradually understand Korean dramas, variety shows, and videos ✅ You're planning a trip to Korea ✅ You'd like to communicate more naturally with a Korean friend, partner, or family member ✅ You prefer learning through real language use rather than memorizing grammar rules ✅ You've given up learning a language before because you were studying alone ✅ You'd like to make new friends ✅ You're looking for a new hobby or activity ✅ You enjoy discovering different cultures and meeting people from around the world --- # 🎁 Member Bonus Every month, Korean Starter Club members receive: 🍳 A €5 discount coupon for One World Kitchen Korean cooking workshops. --- # 🌍 Online & In-Person Format To allow as many people as possible to participate: 💻 Online sessions available 🏠 In-person sessions in Villejuif After the 3:00 PM class, participants attending in person are also invited to join a small tea time. ☕✨ --- # 👥 Come Alone or Bring Someone You don't need to know anyone to join!

For our fourth meeting, we’ll be reading and discussing The Odyssey by Homer — one of the most famous and influential stories ever written. With a new film set to be released this year, it’s the perfect opportunity to (re)discover the original story before seeing it on the big screen. About the book: After the Trojan War, the Greek hero Odysseus begins his long journey home to Ithaca. But the trip that should take weeks turns into a ten-year odyssey filled with gods, monsters, temptations, and impossible choices. While Odysseus struggles to return home, his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus must face their own challenges as they wait for him in Ithaca. Along the way, the story explores themes of perseverance, loyalty, intelligence, and the desire to return home.

**Our June novel is: *The Eights* by Joanna Miller** **This month’s novel is set during World War I. It’s a 20th-century historical fiction story about friendship and war, with coming-of-age elements and a slightly haunted tone. The book is 384 pages in print and 10 hours and 9 minutes on audiobook.** Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its one-thousand-year history, Oxford University officially admits female students. Burning with dreams of equality, four young women move into neighboring rooms in Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto—collectively known as The Eights—come from all walks of life, each driven by their own motives, each holding tight to their secrets, and are thrown into an unlikely, unshakable friendship. Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Politically-minded Beatrice, daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way - and some friends her own age. Otto was a nurse during the war but is excited to return to her socialite lifestyle in Oxford where she hopes to find distraction from the memories that haunt her. And finally Marianne, the quiet, clever daughter of a village pastor, who has a shocking secret she must hide from everyone, even her new friends, if she is to succeed. Among the historic spires, and in the long shadow of the Great War, the four women must navigate and support one another in a turbulent world in which misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War don’t always remain dead.

Please join Columbus Tea Lovers for a tasting of loose leaf teas at a private residence in Worthington. (The address will be sent out via private Meetup message a day ahead to those who have RSVP'd.) June 20th is the Worthington Arts Festival so feel free to attend that event which is down the street in addition to the tea party. For this tasting please bring a tea or tisane (an herbal brew that contains no tea leaves) does not come in a prepackaged tea bag. You can feel free to bring it pre-brewed in a carafe or thermos; please leave out the milk and sweetener as we will have some on hand to mix and match. We will have the kettle on and fillable single serve disposable tea bags if you would like to bring the tea leaves unbrewed and extra tea cups on hand as well. We welcome you to bring snacks or desserts that are you enjoy pairing with tea. You can bring a chair if the day is nice in case we sit outside. There is a cat in the house, so be aware in case of allergies. If you want to write in the chat what you plan to bring so we don't have a lot of the same thing, please do so!

Welcome, readers! Our June read is ***Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible*** ***Voyage*** **by Alfred Lansing.** A work of nonfiction, and one of the most astonishing survival stories in history, we follow Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew after their ship is crushed by Antarctic ice. Stranded in one of the harshest environments on Earth, the men endure months of isolation, freezing temperatures, and near starvation—yet refuse to give up hope. Lansing brings their ordeal to life through vivid detail and firsthand accounts, capturing both the brutality of nature and the resilience of the human spirit. At its core, the story is a powerful testament to leadership, perseverance, and the unbreakable will to survive against impossible odds. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **all** **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!
