Location to remain secret during the promotion of the
event
- We expect that the younger students might want
to bring their parents along
- A cloakroom will be available
- Security will be covered
- Non-alcoholic drinks will be served
We are still waiting for an answer from:
 The Cambridge Admission Office
 The French-speaking community Education
Ministry
 The Oxford Society of Flanders
 The Cambridge Society of Belgium
The length of the speeches will vary depending on
the wishes of the speakers and the amount of
speakers willing to present. It should focus on the
essentials inviting students to ask more precise and
specific questions in the second part of the event.

 It will include a section to ask specifically what
the participants are most interested in
- The speakers, OUBLS members and the WienerAnspach foundation will be present to answer
questions
- They will wear badges and will be found in several
stands across the room
The schedule can be modified as the venue would be
available until 22.00.
Still to be confirmed whether the French-speaking
Education Ministry is willing to assist in spreading the
word about the event or whether others would be
willing to help if necessary.
- We would send an email about a week before
the event requiring confirmation of participation
within 3 days
- Depending on the amount of registrations
received, we are willing to modify the format to
accommodate as many people as possible in
practice. However we except that only a few
students from each school would consider
applying, except for international and European
schools which already receive more information
on the matter.
