Citizens’ actions

BRAL's slogan is "Citizens, Action, Brussels. BXLaars of all walks of life and from all neighborhoods come together in citizen collectives to find solutions to the challenges of this city. They often show the government how things should be done and set the agenda. BRAL studies and supports their initiatives. We advocate for a city where collaboration/cocreation and conservation of our resources/commons are not empty words.

Press release Video Plan B Josaphat

Man, plant and animal are at stake on the Brussels Josaphat site. The Brussels government will have to choose. Does it want to be the last government of the 20th century or the first government of the 21st century?

Who’s afraid of co-creation?

The Brussels’ civil servants who attended the final visit and round table of the CitizenDev project do not seem scared to co-create. We embarked on a journey to search for ways how to co-create communities, using their own assets.
