Hi there! 

If you’re reading this, you probably started your mobility in France or in Belgium. Meeting people and making friends abroad is not always easy… Well, this thread is here to help you! 

 Some great ways to make friends are: 

  • Joining students clubs and associations 
  • Attending activities and events organized by your company 
  • Joining language-learning associations where you can meet up with native francophone people 
  • Attending events according to your interests such as exhibitions openings or business talks 
  • Signing up to a sport club such as yoga, fitness, indoor climbing, etc.
  • Joining Facebook groups according to your hobbies and interests - ex: photography or hiking - or to your nationality - ex: « Italians in Brussels » or « Spaniards in Marseille »

Let us know down below how YOU make friends abroad. This will most certainly help a lot of us! 

Have a beautiful day!
