Why Brussels?

May 8, 2023

Brussels is the capital of the European Union and it is very well known for being the place for International hubs which makes the city a fascinating place to observe and be part of the work done in global governance and diplomacy. Maybe, some people could see it as dull but Brussels is definitely not a boring city!

Brussels is considered a vibrant and vivid city for many reasons. Here are a few examples:

  1. Multiculturalism: Brussels is a multicultural city with a diverse population from all over the world. This diversity is reflected in the city’s vibe, food, music, art and festivals, making it a truly cosmopolitan city.
  2. Historical and cultural landmarks: Brussels has a rich history and is home to many historical landmarks and cultural institutions. Some of the popular attractions include the Grand Place, Atomium, Manneken Pis, the Royal Galleries and Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium and the House of European History.
  3. Art, culture and social entrepreneurship: Brussels is a magnetic city for creative, alternative and entrepreneurial young people. It counts on a thriving creative scene and a supportive community for innovative and socially conscious initiatives. Brussels has a strong community of social entrepreneurs who are dedicated to creating positive social impact through their businesses and initiatives.
  4. Festivals and events: Brussels hosts a wide variety of festivals and events throughout the whole year, ranging from music and dance festivals to food and beer ones. These events bring people from all over the world together, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
  5. Food: Multiculturalism also greatly influences Brussels. Besides its worldwide famous fries, chocolates and waffles, Brussels has become accessible to different and exotic types of food creating a vibrant food scene for the most daring palates, with everything from traditional Belgian dishes to international cuisine.
  6. Beer Culture: Beer is an important part of Brussels’ culture and way of life. The city has a vibrant pub culture, with many cosy and welcoming bars and cafes where locals and visitors alike can enjoy a wide variety of cold beer, from traditional Belgian ales to experimental craft brews, always accompanied by a good conversation.

Overall, the combination of multiculturalism and powerful innovative driving forces coming from art and culture, entrepreneurship, festivals, events and much more, spiced up a bit with a wide variety of food and drinks to taste will make your experience in Brussels so vivid, exciting and surely unforgettable.

Why Out of the Box International

The seemingly ever-lasting depression of European economies has shaken the very foundations of many European societies. The shear rate of unemployment in Europe and the omnipresent environmental crisis coupled with the often frustratingly slow process of decision making in the EU, are calling for civil society actors to step in and fill the void.

In the aftermath of the 2008. economic crisis, the apprehension of falling under the spell of apathy of economic depression across the continent has not been easy to shake off. However, pinpointing the culprits for the current state of affairs on any particular EU decision maker is not the answer. Nonetheless, the fact remains that the current approach to the economic and environmental crisis hasn’t yet shown the affected citizens the light at the end of the tunnel.

As representatives of the civil society we feel the need to make our voice heard in the midst of the current debate on economic crisis. Being a social enterprise we offer new and feasible ideas in education and community work, creative cross-sectorial cooperation among different actors and strong networking coalitions to turn these dire economic challenges into possibilities through social entrepreneurship initiatives which aim at benefiting wide range of citizens, particularly vulnerable groups and those affected by the economic crisis.

Social entrepreneurship is a simple concept that has been put into practice by civil society actors for the benefit of a specific social group or people, and this is precisely what we want: to create projects and initiatives with fresh ideas in different policies, educational programs or tools, support businesses, empower cultural initiatives and offer different solutions to individuals, corporate bodies, everybody who believe that we can have more Creative, Innovative and Cohesive Europe.
