Programme
A 5-day citizen hackathon to solve Brussels pressing environmental, social, and societal issues.
Highlights
During the first lockdown in April 2020 and again, in February 2021, we organised an online hackathon for Brussels citizens to find solutions to urgent challenges related to improving the post-crisis situation in Brussels. We personalised our methodology and facilitation to fit the systemic challenges of circular economy, diversity & inclusion, culture and more topics brought by Brussels public institutions.
The objective of the hackathon was to offer tools for citizens to become entrepreneurs and launch social initiatives.
