After the success of our virtual event to connect with our alumni community in the regions, we are excited to be hosting our first regional events in person this coming July! This will be a great way to connect and meet for those of you who live in the regions, are passing by or just want to travel around and meet new friends during the summer!

For this first series, we will focus on the Southern region with a range of cities which showcase the diversity of the region – and of our alumni communities – in Aix-en-Provence, Marseille and Toulouse!

Come join us for this guided tour around the street art districts of Marseille, European Capital of Culture in 2013, followed by a couscous at La Kahena in the Old Port, with a 3 course dinner, wine and mint tea!

Recommended by HCF member, Alain Honnart, the arts district will be a fun way to see the city through the lens of its artists and creators.

“Street art in Marseille really took off in the 1980s, and it became more pronounced in 2013 during the European Capital of Culture year in Marseille. And certain areas of the city have become veritable showcases for street art with the blessing of the local authorities and the biggest gallery owners. Leading and emerging artists succeed one another in putting their signature on the city’s walls. Marseille, which is regularly among the most Instagrammable cities in Europe, finds its murals on the social networks of professional or occasional bloggers from all over the world” (Marseille Tourism).

You can join us for one or both of the events:

• 14h30: Tour of the street arts district (25€, includes a post-walk drink in a local cafe).
• 20h: Dinner at la Kahena (50€, includes 3 course dinner, wine, and tea)

We will be sending out our survey for those people living in the regions, please do look out for this in your inbox in September. Have a great summer in the meantime!
