Sharpen your brain in the afternoon with hot topics and a hot bowl of soup. Engaging speakers dissect topical issues with a Brussels angle. Difficult issues are explained in a more accessible way. Afterwards, there is time for questions and reflections from the audience.

Food for body and soul, every first Tuesday of the month!

๐Ÿ”ธ Tuesday, Feb-4: Geen vuiltje aan de lucht? – Zoรซ Jacquet & Eva Forceville

3 Evening debates, 3 cities (Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent).

Our cities are places where complex challenges converge. At the same time (or because of that?), they are a promising testing ground where people are figuring out new ways of living together for the rest of the country.

What can we learn from our cities? And what can they learn from each other? To explore that “Steden, labo’s voor de Toekomst” brings together Flemish cities, libraries and academics around various social issues. Hear from specialists, listen to the stories of resourceful residents and learn about surprising experiments.
