This week, from 9\u201314 February, Brussels comes alive with languages, culture, and connection, on the initiative of the Brussels Council for Multilingualism and in collaboration with the Brussels-Capital Region.<\/p>\n

Various events will take place all over the Brussels Region throughout the week, culminating in a festive closing day on Valentine\u2019s Day, 14 February, at the beautiful Bourse\/Beurs building. We are thrilled to be part of this new event with love-themed games and \u201cSpeak\u201d Dating!<\/p>\n

Join us and the EUNIC Brussels cluster<\/a> in the Salle Classique and Agora for themed conversation sessions where you can practice your language skills through fun, tandem-style \u201cSpeak\u201d Dating and don\u2019t forget to stop by our stand in the Agora \u2013 where a Finnish chocolate or a book awaits you!<\/p>\n

Our lovely Head of Administration and the driving force behind the Institute\u2019s Finnish courses, Eeva-Maria Viitanen<\/strong>, describes Finnish as a love language: \u201cFor many of our Finnish course students, love is the reason to learn the language!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

And psst!
\nWe have a sweet tip for your Brussels Multilingualism Week schedule: on Tuesday, 10 February at 18:00 a special <\/a>Book Club event with Kriticos<\/strong><\/a><\/em> will take place on the Odisee\/KU Leuven Brussels campus, room 6306 (Hermes 3 \u2013 3rd floor). Don\u2019t worry – you don\u2019t need to read anything in advance! Whether you love books or just want to explore new perspectives on language and culture, everyone is welcome.<\/p>\n
