When Mons already welcomed Europe: three Hainaut Tables, more than 350 Tablers, a weekend that paved the way.
What is the CEETM?

Round Table International has five regions worldwide. The CEE region (Central and Eastern Europe) is one of them, bringing together the Round Tables of Austria, Belgium, Germany, Great Britain and Ireland, Luxembourg, Moldova, the Netherlands, Romania, as well as associate members (Albania, Czechia, Hungary, E-Club).
The CEETM is their annual regional get-together. Each member association hosts in turn, on a rotation. Three days to share, vote on common decisions and celebrate a friendship that crosses borders.

Round Table region
Three days of exchanges, a regional assembly, ceremonies and parties. Three days where Mons, its belfry, its Grand-Place and its breweries opened up to Tablers from Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, the United Kingdom and from all over the CEE region.
The CEETM 2019 held its regional AGM at the Van der Valk Congres Hotel Mons. The motto stayed the same as everywhere and before: Adopt · Adapt · Improve.
From 2019 to 2026, the thread

The CEETM 2019 remains, for Table Ronde 06 de Mons, one of the great moments of international friendship. The 3rd aim of the movement, promoting cooperation and friendship between nations and peoples, took shape on a real scale.
Seven years later, in May 2026, RT6 does it again with the Euromeeting: a more intimate format, around sixty Tablers from a dozen countries, but the same hospitality reflex.
Adopt · Adapt · Improve. From Hainaut to Europe, we set the table once more.
