Upcoming Brida Tables
Join the conversation; come as you are.
In May, our Theme of the Month is Play.
Not just games or laughter, though we welcome both. Play is also curiosity, freedom, creativity, risk, imagination, and the small moments when language becomes less about being correct and more about being alive.
Our Brida Tables are online conversation sessions where people come together to explore the monthly theme in English. They are warm, human, and discussion-led — a place to practise communication through real ideas, shared stories, and meaningful questions.
Each table is hosted by Frank — The Mayor, joining from France, Janita — Fruitloop, joining from South Africa, or sometimes both of them together.
Most tables follow our Theme of the Month. Other themes can also be arranged on request for schools, teams, groups, or communities.
The times below are listed in CEST and UTC, so please check your own local time before joining or booking. If none of the listed times work for you, message us — we’ll happily open another table when possible.
Pull up a chair. There is always a warm place for you at the table.
