Expatival 2025
The International House is throwing open its doors for another fun-filled festival to bring Leuvenaars together for a day of information, connection and AHA-moments.
Overheard at the last edition: "I learned more in 2 hours than in 2 years living in Leuven!"
Join us on Saturday, 17 May to learn about life in Leuven, celebrate global traditions, swap experiences in our ‘human library’ style sessions and take part in activities to help you create your home away from home.
Whether you have been in Leuven for 15 minutes or 15 years, there is something for you at Expatival.
Interactive Workshops
Check out our workshops hosted by some incredible speakers. Need practical information about getting Belgian nationality? Or perhaps you'd like to learn some Flemish phrases? Wondering about how people experience culture shock? Or would you like to learn about Polish paper crafts? We've got answers on all this and more!
Find answers in the info hall
We've got lots of knowledgeable expats and savvy locals who can help you with all kinds of questions!
Details about who’ll be there are coming soon, so check back over the coming weeks.
