They're here to talk with you, to meet you, and to sketch out collective artistic proposals based on your stories and the materials you bring with you.<\/p>\n<p>The resurrection of the idea of freedom, the question of Greek debt, the complex twists and turns of democracy-building in Mali, false consensus in the age of austerity, the hijacking of spontaneous popular protest, alternative modes of development, the influence of Microsoft on strategic choices in higher education... These are just some of the topics on which you can discuss with the speakers.<\/p>\n<p>You can hear them at 6.30pm, and then chat with them more informally over dinner or lunch the following day. Every evening after these meetings, the students will present ephemeral creations on the theme of democracy and freedom. Some of these creations will be inspired by the students themselves, some will be inspired by the speakers, and some will be woven from a process of direct exchange with you, both at Les Halles and throughout Brussels.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As part of its brand new <a href=\"https:\/\/africalia.be\/en\/les-halles-de-schaerbeek\/\"><strong>Belgium's Global Citizenship and Solidarity Education programme<\/strong><\/a>Africalia has entered into a five-year partnership with Les Halles.
