Foyer celebrates Hilde De Smedt’s 42-year career


8 June 2026

Our colleague Hilde De Smedt will soon begin a well-deserved retirement, but not before we celebrated her remarkable 42-year career at Foyer.

Over the years, Hilde played a key role within PIM (Partners in Multilingualism), helping to develop expertise on multilingualism and supporting families, schools and partner organisations. Through her dedication, knowledge and warm personality, she contributed to many successful projects and collaborations.

During a special celebration, colleagues looked back on her career and thanked her for her many years of commitment. We wish Hilde all the best for this new chapter and thank her for everything she has meant to Foyer.
