With our Wetopia Project “This is Us. This is Brussels.”, we are building a human archive of 1,000 life stories from Brussels residents, exploring what connects us — heritage, passions, concerns, and skills. Multilingualism, homesickness, or a shared love for football are just some examples.

Since early 2025, we’ve launched together with BNA-BBOT a monthly Listening Tour in a different local spot — a café, coffee bar, or tea house — where our archive literally “speaks” on themes like gentrification and affordability or the pedestrian zone and feelings of safety.

Come and join us if you’re ever in Brussels — we’d love to have you!
