Comprehensive overview weKONEKT.week 2024

A guest lecture in the Flemish Parliament, a study visit to Belfius, yoga at the Mont des Arts, workshops in the Royal Library, or a guided tour in the city, …? During the weKONEKT.week from Monday 25 until Friday 29 March 2024 we will embrace and engage with Brussels.

The VUB, as an urban engaged university, wants to connect students with the richness, complexity and beauty of Brussels. We once again join forces with the ULB and EhB for this seventh edition of the weKONEKT.week. An entire programme filled with a wide range of classes, excursions, workshops, and various (teaching) activities in and around Brussels. We do this in close collaboration with our university communities and partners. This year, we proudly join forces with Semaine d’Innovation Pédagogique and Medialab week.
