How do we connect to people? What is so great about being different? Is love selfless? Should we be dreamers or realists? What values are we losing? When are we at our best? Does childhood ever end? Is morality a matter of convenience? What makes a person beautiful? Such questions, and many more, await you Sunday at Sister's Cafe (second floor) . 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 :-).

Salut toi! 👋 Tu penses pouvoir survivre en français? 😂 Testons ça autour d’un ☕️ (ou de toute autre boisson 🍵 ou snack 🍪🍰🥐 qui t'inspire sur le moment). 📍 Où? Léopold PDN - un café parfois difficile à trouver surtout quand il pleut 🌧️☔, mais c’est exactement comme ça que commencent les aventures, pas vrai? 😂 Ne te perds pas au point de désespérer - envoie-moi un message avant de maudire Google Maps 🗺️! 💡 L'idée Prends ta commande (obligatoire!☝️), puis rejoins la table. Après une petite intro on plongera dans des sujets comme activités, voyages, musique… Et si on est suffisamment motivés, on pourra même jouer à quelques jeux! On parlera uniquement en français—oui, immersion totale! Il se peut que l'on se divise en petits groupes pour que tout le monde en profite au max. Chaque groupe aura son propre expert en français 🇫🇷🧐 bien sûr - pour nous remettre sur le bon chemin dès que l'on commence à galérer!😆 🎲 Jeux Pas de jeux énormes qui risquent de finir en catastrophe avec du café renversé, STP! On privilégie des jeux rapides, légers et amusants (en général, des jeux de cartes comme UNO ou Exploding Kittens 💥🐱). J’apporterai quelques jeux moi-même, mais n'hésite surtout pas à amener tes propres favoris (versions françaises évidemment😎) ⏱ Horaires On commence à 15:00, et tu es libre de nous rejoindre à tout moment et de rester aussi longtemps que tu le souhaites. Tu arrives plus tard? Préviens-moi dans le chat pour qu’on te garde une place! 😊 🚦 Liste d’attente? Si tu es encore sur la liste d’attente mais tu veux absolument venir, ou si tu as une question, n’hésite pas à me contacter directement. 📢 Il se peut que je partage des détails supplémentaires dans le chat du groupe ou en DM 💬—pense à vérifier tes messages 👀 au moins la veille de l’événement pour ne pas manquer d'infos essentielles🙄! 🐈‍⬛ Le Code des Amis : 👉 On se tutoie, c'est plus cool✌️ 👉 Respect et bonnes vibes - sinon 💥🥊 👉 Les erreurs? On s'en fou! Et si on galère on switchera en anglais ou bien: 🎭💃🎶🎸🤹🏿‍♂️ 👉 Un empêchement? Annule ou préviens-moi à temps pour laisser la place à quelqu’un d’autre🙏 👉 Sur la liste d’attente? Ne viens pas sans confirmation. À très bientôt ! 😉

🍣 Sushi Connections – Meet Through Shared Experiences, Not Interviews. Welcome to the very first event of our newly integrated Singles Community! Before we launch a full series of dating experiences, we'd like to test interest in a concept that we believe is much more natural, fun, and meaningful than traditional speed dating. ## Why Sushi? Let's be honest... Traditional singles events can feel a little artificial. You sit across from someone, ask the same questions over and over again.. Instead, what if people could meet while doing something together? Making sushi is the perfect activity because it is collaborative, social, fun, and allows participants to naturally rotate and interact with different people throughout the evening. Rather than interviewing each other, you'll be: 🍣 Preparing sushi together 🍣 Working as a team 🍣 Sharing laughs and conversation naturally 🍣 Meeting multiple people throughout the evening 🍣 Enjoying the sushi you helped create Sometimes the best connections happen when you're focused on an experience rather than trying to impress someone. And if you don't meet anyone , you've learned a new skill. ## The Concept The idea is simple: ✨ Welcome drink and introductions ✨ Sushi-making experience with rotating partners ✨ Shared dinner with the group ✨ Optional confidential matching system after the event The goal is to create a relaxed environment where people can get to know each other naturally through a shared activity. ## ⚠️ Important – Interest Check Event At this stage, we are publishing this event primarily to measure interest in the concept. 📍 **The exact venue is still being selected.** 💰 **The final price is not yet confirmed.** 🗓️ **The final event date may be adjusted slightly depending on venue availability.** By joining this event, you are simply expressing your interest in participating once the concept is finalised. If there is enough enthusiasm, we will secure the venue, finalise the details, and open official registrations. ## Who Is This For? ❤️ Singles who prefer meaningful interactions over superficial conversations ❤️ People who enjoy social activities and meeting new people ❤️ Anyone curious to try a different approach to dating If you've ever thought: *"I'd rather meet someone while doing something together than sitting across a table asking questions..."* then this event might be exactly what you're looking for. Join the interest list and help us launch the very first Sunday Vacations Sushi Connections experience! 🍣✨

This is a paid event, and the registration via Wordcraft's website[ is obligatory.](https://www.wordcraft-collective.eu/courses/truer-than-the-truth%3A-how-to-use-figurative-language) At its simplest, figurative language is a way of saying that one thing is (like) another thing. It is saying that X is Y by comparing them both to Z. By using figures like metaphors, similes and even personification, we express an idea with playfulness and wonder, while at the same time attempting to get as close as possible to its core truth. 📅Date and time: 13 June, 11:00-13:00 CET 📍Venue: Pianofabriek, Rue du Fort 35, 1060 Saint-Gilles 💰Price: €25 Eur (non-member) €20 Eur (Member). This workshop is intended not just for poets and writers, but anyone who would like to test and widen their linguistic horizons. Nowadays, when the quantity of written content is overproduced, but its quality is diminished, the workshop provides an opportunity to approach one's expression with freshness and innate curiosity. We will look at how different figures appear in poetry, prose and everyday language, engage in interactive exercises and immediately apply the newly-acquired skills in free writing. The workshop is aimed at native and near-native English speakers.

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: 135€



 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! 💪 



📢 Further details may be shared via the group chat or via DM 💬. Make sure to check your messages 👀 at least on the day before the event to avoid missing critical 🙄 announcements. 🐈‍⬛ The Friends Code:
👉Respect and positive vibes, if not 💥🥊
👉Can’t make it? Cancel or drop a message in the chat - helps running things smoothly! 👉 Don't show up if you are on the waiting list or show up at your own risk. 



See you at the walls folks😉
