Hi,<\/p>\n
I am Ine, enthusiastic Limburgian who ended up in Brussels during my studies, and never left. Because I fell in love with the city. Brussels has inspired me for more than 25 years. Its dynamism and diversity, the world that comes together here, the rich cultures, but also the social challenges of living together and side by side in a city where not everyone gets the same opportunities, it has all crept into my heart. <\/p>\n
And giving people opportunities, encouraging them to become their best selves, that’s something I really enjoy contributing to.<\/strong><\/p>\n I did this, for example, at the culture unit of the Flemish Ministry of Education, where I helped to improve cooperation between culture and education, and where we challenged teachers to get more involved with culture by inspiring them and facilitating cooperation. Also at Lasso, the Brussels Network for Cultural Participation, I built bridges between different sectors and stakeholders to create more opportunities for cultural participation of young people in the Brussels Canal Zone. I translated ideas and needs into concrete initiatives and exciting experiments, always with an eye on sustainable impact and shared ownership. <\/p>\n
