MolenFest
Brussels Best Co-creation
MolenFest, a collaboration between Molenbeek for Brussels 2030, KANAL-Centre Pompidou, the Maison des Cultures and 68 partners, transformed Molenbeek and Brussels into a vibrant space of creativity and inclusion. Born out of a co-creation process involving 1,000 young people via Speak Up and the Youth Coalition, the festival explored social justice, multilingualism and public space through participatory artistic practices. From big names such as Serge-Aimé Coulibaly to local initiatives such as Singing Molenbeek, MolenFest blended art, debate and popular gathering, demonstrating a visionary and deeply inclusive collective energy.
Belge une fois
Brussels’ Digital Content Creator of The Year
Born of the imagination of a Brussels couple, Belge une fois celebrates the Belgianness, humour and self-deprecation that so perfectly define our beloved little country. While their creativity is expressed primarily through a boutique in the heart of the Marolles district - a vibrant melting pot of Brussels cultures and traditions - Arthur and Natacha also share their favourite things through their blog and Instagram account. They highlight initiatives from Brussels, Belgium and beyond.
Anima Festival
Brussels International Icon
