The event will begin on Wednesday, March 19, with a reception at Brussels City Hall, followed by a welcome speech from the Mayor and the Councilor for Public Education, and a guided tour of the City Hall.

Thursday morning, March 20, will be dedicated to study visits exploring innovative initiatives in key areas such as:

• Promoting multilingualism and sustainable mobility
• Engaging with the neighborhood and promoting reading
• Craftsmanship and the ninth art
• Waste reduction and circular economy
• Urban innovations in the face of climate change

In the afternoon, we will open with the conference “Developing dialogic teaching for an inclusive school and city,” by Coralie Delhaye, which will address strategies for more inclusive education. Following this, experiences from member cities will be presented, and the General Assembly will take place.

On Friday, March 21, participants will have the opportunity to enjoy the technical visit program again, with five options highlighting the most innovative and transformative initiatives in Brussels.

Registration will open in January
