Europe citoyenne (ICE)
At the European level, several mechanisms are in place to enable citizens to take action and address European institutions. However, it is essential that citizens and associations are aware of the existing mechanisms and can use them effectively. This is the purpose of the House of the People of Europe, which aims to inform, educate, advise, and support citizen initiatives.
Make a country in the country
This project began with the mobilization of certain findings from the Noir Jaune Blues survey. The survey made a significant impact upon its release in January 2017, highlighting the breakdown of social bonds. Implicit in the questions brought to light by this survey was the future of social cohesion in a global context of loss of meaning and democratic trust.

Solidarity restaurant
The 'Tou·te·s à table' project aims to create, in the Brussels region, a high-quality solidarity restaurant open to all city residents. Located in Ixelles, halfway between the European Parliament and the popular Matonge district, this restaurant will offer everyone, regardless of their economic and socio-cultural background, the opportunity to have lunch and dinner in a socially warm atmosphere. The acceptance of this project by the Municipality of Ixelles is expected to take place this fall.
