From 9 to 13 June 2026, the much-anticipated Festival returns to Brussels for its third edition. This time, the spotlight will shine on the power of democratic engagement in shaping more inclusive and sustainable communities in Europe and beyond.
Under the theme “Life. Spaces. Buildings.” the festival will showcase how citizens and local communities can actively shape their surroundings, with affordable housing recognized as a key foundation of democratic participation.
