From March 19th to March 30th LOKO organizes the Think Abroad with the support of the student unions and the international student associations.

The Think Abroad wants to bring all the students of Leuven together and open them up to new cultures. Come to the events and get a taste of all the different cultures of the world. You can learn the Salsa, better your cursing knowledge in different languages or discover the secrets behind the brewing process of the best beer in the world, Stella Artois.  Be curious and enjoy what we have to offer you during the Think Abroad. 

Another way to show the world your international colours is by participating in the Abroad Games. Sign up for the games, collect points and fight to win awesome prizes.

I am an international student. I have a question. I want to rent the Albatros. I want to borrow equipment for a cantus. I want to book a meeting room. I want to raise an issue. I am looking for a room in Leuven. I want to help out with the 24 hour run. I want to start a student association. I want to get informed. I want my landlord to give me my deposit back. I want to become a volunteer. I had a problem at ALMA. I want to borrow a screen and a projector. I want to know more about LOKO. I want to participate on Ithaka. I want to take part on the beiaardcantus. I want to book the LOKO garden. I want to organize an event in Leuven. I am a student in Leuven. I need sound equipment. I’m looking for a place to throw a party. I want my student association to be officially recognized. I don’t understand the traffic rules in Leuven. I am part of a student kring. I feel discriminated in the Leuven student life. I want to show my talent performing in the IFTf. I’m looking for a helping hand for my project.

We can help you.
