Team Brightminds and Team Events are joining forces and present to you an interactive workshop: What is sustainable coffee? Let’s debate!
During the workshop we will dive deeper into the coffee industry and the challenges they are facing concerning sustainability. We will welcome Nespresso and Ngopi. You, as a student, will be able to confront/ask them on their used processes and resources. How do they package their coffee? Are they paying their farmers truthfully? What about ‘reviving origins’ and ‘CO2 neutrality’? We want to challenge you to gain better insights and to reach an equilibrium between all the players of the coffee supply chain.
Join us during the interactive workshops and let’s discuss what sustainable coffee is!
The same workshop is organised three times on the same day. Register and choose your timeslot through this link:

At this moment, a lot of big companies have started to think more sustainably and are trying to change their way of operating. You might wonder how they are doing this. Multinationals like AB InBev are coming to educate us on how they adapted their businesses to become more sustainable. On top of that, we welcome Pauli, who will tell us all about how the industry is changing and which sustainable trends are emerging.

During this 1 hour during event, we want to inspire you and clarify…
… How you, as a student, can have real impact through social entrepreneurship
… What it means to be part of AFD

→ Speaker 2: Diane Delava is an expert on the topic of social entrepreneurship and co-founder of Mattrvest, an inclusive impact investment firm. She will tell you the story on how she was able to pull off her start-up.

Tiraillé(e) entre l’appel écologique et ta vie d’étudiant(e) pas très eco-friendly?
Envie d’envoyer valser le stress, les deadlines et les sollicitations quotidiennes?
Fatigué(e) des notifications à répétitions, tu rêves de créativité et de reconnexion au présent?
Tenté(e) d’entreprendre pour atteindre ces objectifs ?
Ou simplement curieux(se) de découvrir le monde fascinant de l’HABITAT LÉGER?
Si tu as répondu oui à au moins une de ces questions, BLOQUE LE MERCREDI 25 MARS !
Las des chemins tout tracés par notre société de consommation, Adrien Pham, professeur à l’UCL a opté pour une alternative: l’HABITAT LÉGER. Avec sa famille, c’est une véritable aventure qu’ils ont entamée, un retour à l’essentiel aussi inspirant… qu’effrayant.
Lors de cette soirée exceptionnelle, M. Pham nous racontera les bienfaits qu’il retire de son habitat réduit, mais également les difficultés et les mythes entourant ce mode de vie encore méconnu. Il nous propose à nous- étudiants, (futurs) locataires ou propriétaires- de reconsidérer les choix «par défaut» en matière d’habitation et d’opter pour un habitat à l’image de nos valeurs.En deuxième partie de soirée, il nous racontera comment, poussé par un élan de partage, il est également devenu ENTREPRENEUR SOCIAL. Impliqué dans de multiples projets tous plus inspirants les uns que les autres, il nous prouvera que nous pouvons, tou(te)s, agir à notre échelle.
Convaincu(e)? Viens écouter son histoire, le rencontrer, lui poser toutes tes questions et nous donner ton avis sur l’habitat léger et l’entrepreneuriat social!On vous attend nombreux et nombreuses pour cet événement qui s’annonce mémorable!

What will you be eating in 2050?
Our current food system is one of the biggest catalysers of the most pressing environmental issues. Moreover, the population keeps growing and growing, with less and less resources available. This is creating a big shortfall between the amount of food we produce today and the amount needed to feed everyone in 2050.
As incomes rise, people will increasingly consume more resource-intensive, animal-based foods. At the same time, we urgently need to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural production and stop conversion of remaining forests to agricultural land. This calls for questions on how to make our food production more sustainable. How will we sustainably feed a constantly growing population? And what is necessary to make changes to more sustainable forms of food production? How do we motivate our population to consume these sustainable alternatives?
Fortunately a lot of entrepreneurs and consumers are already challenging the way we currently think about, produce and consume food. Many people are adapting a vegan lifestyle, restaurants are putting insects on the menu, scientists are experimenting with lab grown meat and many entrepreneurs are finding solutions to reuse food waste.
By inviting several guest speakers that are paving the way, like @buggznl, we will explore the issues relating to the future of our food industry in an informative and interactive session. The end goal: becoming aware of what you eat!
The event is free, but seats must be reserved!

Are you interested in finding out how our project teams are doing on their projects so far? Would you like to share your knowledge with our project teams? Or do you simply want to learn more about our interesting projects in the Philippines, Tanzania and Uganda? Come join us on the 16th of January!
During this event, our three project teams will present the findings and ideas they have worked on from October until January. For them, their presentation is an opportunity to share their project ideas with an audience and receive feedback from invited experts. After the presentations, there will be a short break. Hereafter, the audience will leave and the teams will proceed to critically reflect on and improve their ideas under guidance of their coach, in order to work further towards a successful project implementation.
Every presentation will be followed by a questions and feedback session from the audience, which you are invited to be part of!
Afterwards, you are welcome to join us for drinks at Hofman Café!

Mercredi 13 mars lors du Festival International du Film Eau et Climat, AFD a l’honneur de projeter et d’organiser un ciné-débat avec Vincent Truyens (professeur à la Louvain School of Management) autour du film “Après-demain” de Cyril Dion et Laure Noualhat.
Suite du film “Demain”, Après-Demain est un documentaire qui revient sur les fronts de l’écologie et la capacité des micro- initiatives à avoir un réel impact face au dérèglement climatique. La confrontation des 2 personnages est remplie d’humour et les pousse dans leurs retranchements : qu’est-ce qui marche, qu’est-ce qui échoue ? Et si, finalement, tout cela nous obligeait à inventer un nouveau récit pour l’humanité ?
L’ouverture des portes se fera à 16h et le documentaire commencera à 16h15. Les places sont à réserver uniquement via le lien eventbrite.

avec l’intention de créer plus, sans compromettre vos valeurs,
en respectant et en utilisant les lois de la physique, il est possible d’améliorer notre quotidien.
A l’origine du concept de l’économie bleue et membre du club de Rome, Monsieur Pauli est créateur de nombreuses entreprises, dont Ecover, et de la fondation ZERI (Recherche et initiatives pour zéropollution). Il milite pour la diffusion de solutions durables à dimension sociale, notamment à travers des conférences, l’éducation des jeunes et des livres.
C’est pourquoi, un stand de dédicaces pour ses derniers livres parus (nous citons “Li-Fi la communication à la vitesse de la lumière” et “Soyons aussi intelligents que la nature!”) sera organisé également à la fin de la conférence.

Clothes make the (wo)man.
The earth hosts a huge diverse group of people and clothing is one of the most obvious ways to spot our differences and similarities. Clothing is embedded in culture, religion and nationality. Clothing is also a way to express yourself and for many people, clothing is essential to the way they live.
But this need for self-expression also has big downsides. Child labour in East-Asia and other parts of the developing world is one of these downsides. The growing pressure on the global climate by the clothing industry is another. The rising trend of ‘fast fashion’ in the West has been one of the biggest contributing factors in these growing ecological and societal problems. But how big are these issues exactly? And what role can science, the business world, the government and we, the consumer, play in fighting them? Becoming aware of the issues we’re facing and discussing these questions gives us valuable insight into the world of clothing and the many sustainable solutions surrounding it.
By inviting three guest speakers on the 18th of February, we will explore the issues relating to the clothing industry in an informative and interactive session. The end goal: becoming aware of what you wear!
THE SPEAKERS:
The first speaker is Anneke Smelik, a Radbout University professor, specialised in Visual Culture. Her current research focuses on slow fashion and issues of sustainability, as well as technological advances in fashion.
Eva, from the social enterprise MudJeans, will tell us more about the mission of the company: creating new jeans out of old ones and working completely according to the principles of a circular economy.
Our last speaker, Henriëtte-Floor, works for the NGO ReShare, part of the Salvation Army. She will tell us more about the mission of ReShare and also has a bit of insight into the actions the government take in fighting problems in the clothing industry
Join us on the 18th, let these interesting speakers expand your knowledge of the clothing industry and become conscious of what you wear!

Le mardi 9 octobre, AFD vous propose un ciné-débat autour du film « Des clics de consciences » à 19h30 dans l’auditoire AGORA 10. Cette démarche nous est rendue possible par L’écran des Possibles, une initiative de l’organisation Ecoscénique.
Si toi aussi tu veux connaître l’impact de ton clic sur le monde et que tes préoccupations tournent autour de l’écologie et du développement durable, mets cette date en rouge sur ton calendrier et viens passer une excellente soirée en notre compagnie !
L’écran des possibles permet aux associations, organismes cultures ou autre d’organiser des séances de cinéma suivies d’un débat sur des enjeux du développement durable ou de la transition. Vous ne serez pas déçus en rencontrant les personnes qui veulent faire changer les choses. Un échange constructif pour vous sensibiliser animera la soirée !
Résumé : « Des pétitions, nous en signons de plus en plus sur internet. Mais que deviennent réellement ces clics une fois nos signatures récoltées ? En lançant #YesWeGraine, pétition destinée à préserver les semences traditionnelles, Alexandre et Jonathan ont mis en lumière la puissance du pouvoir citoyen. D’espoirs en désillusions, des potagers à la COP21, du Mexique au Sénat, Des Clics de Conscience fait germer le désir d’une reconquête démocratique. » (https://www.ecrandespossibles.be/film/des-clics-de-conscience)
