This document contains many inspiring ideas for anyone working in the arts or culture in Brussels. What does this bid for the title of European Capital of Culture mean for Brussels’ cultural and arts sector? How can major cultural events contribute to social cohesion in Brussels? What local, regional, and even international collaborations are appropriate for this purpose?
