Partner event Body & Soul

Following our inspiring conference Culture & Care: A Joint Call for Change, we are continuing to build a sustainable network centred on culture and care. In 2028, Body & Soul will take shape as the annual theme. Together with partners from the fields of culture, care, wellbeing, sport, ecology, sustainability and many other sectors, we are developing an ambitious programme that will continue beyond 2028, leading towards LOV2030 and beyond.

We would like to invite you to one of our partner events to explain our ambitions, programme strands and collaborations:

• Tue 10 November 2026, from 9.00 am to 12.00 pm | STUK
• Thu 12 November 2026, from 6.00 pm | BAC ART LAB, aimed at leisure organisations as part of the Culture Networking Event

Discover the co-creative process and share your ideas!
