< back Wild foraging: local power foods Teambuilding that nurishes the stomach and soul More detailed information In this workshop, we immerse ourselves in nature. Increasingly, studies highlight the positive effects of greenery on our health. Nature not only reduces stress but also decreases the likelihood of illness. Apart from that, our natural environment has another surprise in store: wild edible plants. These are plants that grow in the wild and haven't been cultivated. As a result, they are packed with vitamins and minerals. During a guided walk, we search for these power plants, learning interesting facts about our natural surroundings along the way. Finally, we incorporate them into a dish (herb-infused salt, appetizers, etc.) in a lively and engaging manner. Request a quote Submit About Saartje Vandendriessche earned her stripes in the media.

< back Art, Technology and Science Art as a critical thinker’s “second opinion” on digital revolution More detailed information Many artists work with scientists, technologists, designers, developers, entrepreneurs and activists from all over the world, to address the central questions of our future. Their focus is on new technologies and how they change the way we live and work together. Since the seventies, our world has changed radically, and digitization has covered almost all areas of our lives. Scientists, developers, designers, entrepreneurs, activists and artists have shed light on these developments in our digital society and have speculated about their manifestations in the future. The activities of artists involved in technology are always guided by the question of what new technologies mean for our lives. They not only ask what technology can or will be able to do, but always what it should do for us. They don’t try to adapt to technology, but they want the development of technology to be oriented towards us. Therefore, the artistic research always focuses on ourselves, our needs, our desires, our feelings. With Machine Learning and AI, we are initiating the transition from automation to autonomy today. The digital becomes independent for the first time. On the threshold of this new era, we must set the course for our digital society to remain committed to fundamental values such as human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and human rights. Artists together with scientists, developers, designers, entrepreneurs and activists from all over the world want to contribute to such a digital humanism. In a workshop or presentation about art and technology we will discuss and zoom in on artist who work and experiment with AI, VR, robots, augmented reality, security camera’s, meta-verse, quantum computing, biotech, 3D sound, computational creativity and other technological evolutions. This interaction between art and science&technology is also called the "new renaissance" or the avant-garde in the arts. Request a quote Submit About Erwin Van den Brande is on a mission to bridge the gap between the cultural and creative realms and the business world. Recognizing that companies face disruptive challenges requiring novel approaches and thinking, he advocates for mutual learning between business leaders and the art world. With a background in economics and experience in various management roles within technology companies, Erwin is also an entrepreneur who has founded multiple start-ups. Since 2010, he has pursued a parallel career as a visual artist, exhibiting his works in Belgium and internationally. His passion lies in uniting seemingly disparate worlds through art, viewing art as not just a form of expression but also a mindset for living and working. This vision led to the creation of Dual&Day, an initiative focused on facilitating connections between companies and cultural actors through "artification" processes. Erwin and Dual&Day offer a range of services including lectures, workshops, advisory sessions, publications, and concrete artification projects aimed at fostering creative collaborations and innovative thinking within businesses. Through these efforts, Erwin aims to harness the transformative power of art to inspire fresh perspectives and solutions in the corporate world while also enriching artistic endeavors with business insights.

< back Tap into your resilience with Spanish Flamenco Exciting Spanish music style as powerful elixir of life More detailed information Captivated by the glowing energy of Spanish flamenco, Luna resolutely turns her past of grief and loss into a path of life in which joy and passion are central. For Luna, the meaning of life is the meaning in life, and flamenco song and dance prove to be pre-eminently suitable to experience this joy in an intense way. An (inter)active inspiration session by Luna goes off the beaten track and aims to make participants feel what they may already know but have not felt for a long time. Who are you as an individual? Where do you want to go and why? What gets your blood flowing? In her lectures and workshops, Luna challenges to reflect on what inspires each person, from an invitation to get moving and (re)take control of their own life. Luna's lectures, workshops and inspiration sessions can also be booked with live accompaniment by a flamenco guitarist, which makes her penetrating message even more tangible. The impact of Luna's singing and performance, together with the live guitar playing, add a powerful deeper layer to the experience of spectators/participants. Request a quote Submit About Luna Zegers is the only non-Spaniard in the world with a cum laude conservatory degree in flamenco singing under her belt: a unique achievement. She also graduated summa cum laude in jazz singing from the Conservatory of Amsterdam. At a young age, she lost both her parents and only sister. After tough years, marked by grief and a search for meaning, she develops a strong will to survive and a zest for life. She becomes the first musician to major in both jazz singing and flamenco singing, studies with only Spaniards at the prestigious ESMUC conservatory in Barcelona, and writes all the music and lyrics for her graduation performance. She is also writing the book "SOLO," about her grieving processes and her experiences as an outsider in the exciting world of Spanish flamenco. The power of Luna's oeuvre shows itself in the various creative forms in which she transforms her troubles: moving music, fascinating stories and a meaningful book, with which she expresses her grief and the processing thereof.
