Contrary to what populists and extremists are often saying or suggesting, Brussels is not place which wants to dictate others what to do. It’s a vibrant city with rich history, multicultural atmosphere, Belgian spirit, and seats of institutions symbolising European diversity and unity. There is no better place that could help connect local Hi!ke concept with the EU level. It happened on June 28, 2023, and brought together 25 media makers, active citizens, politicians, and representatives of minorities.
Exploring Brussels From the Royal Palace to a Squat
Contrary to what populists and extremists are often saying or suggesting, Brussels is not place which wants to dictate others what to do. It’s a vibrant city with rich history, multicultural atmosphere, Belgian spirit, and seats of institutions symbolising European diversity and unity. There is no better place that could help connect local Hi!ke concept with the EU level. It happened on June 28, 2023, and brought together 25 media makers, active citizens, politicians, and representatives of minorities.
The participants gathered in front of the Royal Palace of Brussels, which is the place where the King of Belgians – Philippe – works. Seat of the King Baudouin Foundation, which supports many projects around Belgium, but also abroad, is located behind the palace. It focuses on and helps other organisations with fundraising as well. Hence it was useful for participants to learn about opportunities that they can use as well to promote quality media and help minority voices to be more represented in public.
