From Expat to Local: Stories of Belonging with Jana LeBlanc

Join us for an inspiring morning with Czech writer and journalist Jana LeBlanc, who will share her journey of living abroad (in the USA, Turkey, and Malaysia) and returning to Brno with her international family as a “re-pat”.

Whether you’re navigating life as a trailing spouse or settling into a new culture, this event is your chance to connect, exchange experiences, and find a sense of belonging.

***

We’re also happy to listen to your questions, needs and suggestions, and provide useful tips on how to proceed with the other elements of our spouse programme that could support you. Last but not least, there is always time for networking with others over a nice cup of coffee.

Feel free to invite any other expat friends or expat spouses you know of who might benefit from this programme.

The capacity of the meeting is limited, so book your place soon via the red button above. In case you register and then cannot attend, please let us know to make room for others.

We look forward to meeting you!
