We Decolonize VUB

Two days, countless conversations, new connections, shared creativity, reflection, joy, softness, critical thinking, and so much collective care 🤍

This weekend, we closed off our academic year with our WeDecolonize Summer School and honestly… we could not have imagined it like this.

Despite the beautiful weather outside, over 80 people came together to think, create, discuss, write, move, listen, share, and imagine with us ☀️

From panel talks on third spaces and women in higher education, to poetry, songwriting, dance therapy, film screenings..., every activity reminded us why spaces like these matter.

What stayed with us most was the openness in every room. The willingness to reflect together, to sit with complexity, to imagine differently, and to collectively build spaces centered around care, knowledge, lived experience, and community.

Thank you to everyone who attended, spoke, performed, facilitated, supported, helped behind the scenes, or simply shared space with us this weekend. This Summer School was everything it was because of all of you 🌱

We are beyond proud of how we got to close off this year together.

Until next time,
WD 🤍
