For its first edition, Creative Mornings Brussels, is excited to welcome Dr. Eric Corijn.
Dr. Eric Corijn is one of the most well-known experts regarding Brussels and its multicultural creative environment. Through his numerous publications, classes, public speeches and citizens’ informal gatherings, he is continually enriching and inspiring the debate about Brussels’ cultural life.
Trained as a cultural philosopher and a sociologist, Dr. Corijn is the founder of COSMOPOLIS, Center for Urban Research. He is also the vice-president of the Brussels Studies Institute, between all the Brussels universities, and initiator of several programs which aim to make the knowledge about Brussels available to a broader audience - such as the Brussels for Europe Master classes, or the Brussels Academy.
Dr. Corijn will present a talk on “The air of the city makes free”. He will engage the audience on the importance of urbanity as a breeding ground for creativity and innovation. How can a global city, like Brussels, embrace diversity more, and empower the creativity of its multitude of inhabitants and visitors? What is the role of creative networks and individual citizens in shaping Brussels as the capital of Europe?
