Expatival 2025

Expatival: A One-Day Festival for Internationals Living in Leuven 

On 17 May, International House Leuven will be hosting a one-day festival to meet the world in Leuven.

During Expatival 2023, more than 500 people from almost 70 countries gathered at the International House. There was music, face painting, fabulous food, and many local organizations and volunteers sharing all the things they do to make Leuven and the region an amazing place to live.

The atmosphere was electric.

One attendee said about Expatival, "I have learned more in 2 hours than in the last two years living in Leuven.

And we are doing it again.

We have ideas for more talks, more interactions and more socialising.

This is a great opportunity for international Leuvenaars to learn more about Belgian culture, how to better integrate into the city, and so much more. And for Belgians to meet internationals and learn about living abroad.Stay tuned for more information via expatival.com!About IHLThe International House Leuven (IHL) helps internationals get settled, find work and establish a community in and around Leuven.
