About Ecopolis
Brussels is on the move. Rather than cramming everything into one big festival day each year, we’re spreading the energy across a whole series of events: some large-scale, others more intimate, but all at the intersection of culture, ecology, social justice and imagination. Join us, listen, reflect, discuss – there’s something for everyone.
Ecopolis is the regular gathering for those committed to a sustainable future. Because ecological challenges know no language or national borders, Ecopolis aims to be diverse, international and interactive. Ecopolis brings together authors from home and abroad to discuss the transition to a socio-ecological society. Inspiring books, documentaries and dialogues between writers, scientists and thinkers from civil society on ecology, the economy and society are always at the heart of the event.
