BRULB: convergence of struggles and inclusiveness

ULB can be proud of the commitment of its students to current citizen struggles! Whether they concern the environment, racism, sexism, homophobia, economic insecurity or other issues, the concerns are manifold and cannot be dealt with in isolation. With this in mind, we launched BRULB, convergence des luttes et inclusivité (convergence of struggles and inclusiveness). The aim of this project is to link the commitments of Brussels and the university community and to explore the issues of intersectionality, inclusivity and the convergence of struggles.

Which theme(s) to choose? How do you build a tool? How should an activity be designed? What objectives should be pursued? Based on the answers provided by the participants, the students will be asked to :
    • Produce several awareness-raising tools or activities on the theme of inclusive and intersectional commitment.
    • Put these tools and activities into practice during an event at the ULB (to be determined) and during the Iris festival (to be confirmed), and then disseminate them to Brussels associations.

Location
