sept. 30 – 0ct. 1 2021: the greenest projects at the heart of Europe – Brussels
Now the Green Deal has put green on top of everyone’s priority EILO will visit what might be the most European city: Brussels. After having visited very big cities, we will now go back to a more human scale. We’re able to visit all projects by bus and can offer you a hotel that will truly give you a SPA feeling: close to the heart of the city, but in the middle of the Sonian forest, an UNESCO World Heritage site.
The programme for our annual excursion is still under construction but we can already reveal the following:
- Thursday will be packed with workshops and a symposium, so it is advisable to book your stay from wednesday evening up until saturday morning,
- we will reveal the ins and outs of Europe’s biggest green wall so far,
- we will get a presentation of Green marketing trends,
- we will visit a 30 year old indoor garden,
- and we may see some carts from the inside out.
