Re-Bel’s public events aim to publicise innovative reform proposals for Belgium’s institutional structure and to foster open and well-informed discussion about them. The plan is to have two main public events each year. Upcoming events and information about registration are listed on this page. Past events and material from these events also remain accessible on this page.
