Freedom Not Fear 2011/Brussels/day-of-networking

Sunday, 18.9.2011 - Day of networking, meeting, workshopping

Day of networking

The sunday should offer an open space for meetings, discussions, workshops. You should feel free to use the time as you like. It's also possible and useful just to use the opportunity to discover Brussels and its french fries. :)

Be Aware, that Sunday 18th is "No cars day" during Brussels Mobility Week, which means that no vehicles can circulate without special authorisation (to be required to the police a few days in advance). The positive side is that public transport will be free on this day.

Where?

Depending on expected numbers of people we will have two or three rooms at Mundo.
