BRAL co-signed the op-ed of NGO Les chercheurs d’air, supported by the Société Scientifique de Médecine Générale at the occasion of World Health Day (7/4/2024). Discover the measures we ask of the politicians-to-be-elected to improve Brussels’ air quality.

Last year, the partners of Commoning Europe came to Brussels from January 25 through 27. The group decided, after the Belgians’ added value to the other visits, that a visit to Brussels was in its place.

One comes across quite some things on the roads in Brussels. This morning on my way to work, I ran into our baker from around the corner. She was in a rush to get extra coffee for her business. From Bois de la Cambre in Uccle to the heart of the city of Brussels. It turned out to be the ideal moment for a two by two-wheeled chat.

On the morning of 12 May, several campaign groups and organizations presented a cake to the European Commission as a playful action to "congratulate" it on the seventh anniversary of the launch proceedings against the Belgian government over poor air quality. The campaigners also compelled the European Commission to base new air quality standards on the latest scientific and medical knowledge.

The dérive of Super Terram was a playful, creative and collective wandering from which alternative stories emerged for Schaerbeek-Formation as well as for life related to the soils that are there.

From April 4 to 8, Toha, Yannick and Hanne were out and about in Florence, Italy. We bring you a short impression of four days of the JTSE (Joint Staff Training Event) in Campi di Bisenzio in Italy for Commoning Europe, our Erasmus+ project.

Between 25 September and 23 October 2021, 3,000 Brussels citizens participated in CurieuzenAir, the largest ever citizen science project on air quality in our capital. These are the results.

The results of CurieuzenAir are coming! BRAL is happy to invite you to an information session about CurieuzenAir in your neighbourhood.

Commoning Europe propells a rediscovery of the public good as the foundation of Europe. For this project, we made an English version of the video "Plan B Josaphat". Plan B wants to preserve nature and keep Josaphat in public hands.

The inhabitants of Brussels are enthusiastic about mapping out air quality themselves. When the registration period for CurieuzenAir BXL ended on Sunday 13 June, the counter stood at 5.578. 

TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT OUR HEALTH AND THE CLIMATE!

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?
