Full Circle Drinks

Social | Sat 19th Sep | 3-5 pm

Curious about Full Circle? Join us for a drink & discover what we're all about. 

Whether you're already part of our community or simply intrigued, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the team, explore the house & hear more about our future plans – including what the different types of Full Circle memberships have to offer. It’s a relaxed & informal setting, ideal for asking questions & seeing if this is a place where you feel at home.

We warmly welcome current members & their guests too – so feel free to bring a friend or two along. It's a lovely way to connect with others who share a curiosity for ideas, culture & community. No pressure, just good company & a great conversation.

We're looking forward to welcoming you!

MEDIA NETWORK DRINKS
For journalists, editors & creators

Social | Tues 29th Sept | 7-9pm

Co-hosted by Brussels Media Women

Introductory Talk  
Julie Majerczak, Reporters Without Borders (RSF)

Join Brussels Media Women and Full Circle for a conversation with Julie Majerczak from Reporters Without Borders (RSF) on the growing challenges to press freedom and the impact of disinformation on journalism in the EU and beyond.

As journalists and media professionals navigate increasing political pressure, online manipulation, and attacks on independent reporting, this event will explore how press freedom is being affected and what can be done to protect reliable, independent journalism. 

It will also be an opportunity to meet others working in media, exchange experiences, and discuss the issues shaping our profession.

ABOUT:

Julie Majerczak is the Reporters Without Borders Representative to the European Institutions. She has represented the international press freedom NGO at the EU level since May 2016. Before joining RSF, Julie was a journalist for 16 years. She moved to Brussels in 2002 to report on EU affairs for the French daily newspaper Libération for which she worked for ten years. She also reported for the French daily newspaper Le Parisien, RTL radio and the online media outlets Contexte. Born in Paris, she has a Master in Law and is a graduate of Sciences Po Paris.

Brussels Media Women is a community for women working in media and journalism in Brussels. They organise informal drinks, events, and networking opportunities where members can meet, exchange experiences, and support each other.

VERNISSAGE

' C O NN E CT I ON '

with emerging and established artists

Art / Fri 20 Nov / 6-9:30 pm

Join us for the launch of Connection Art Show

"Connection" is an exhibition about the threads that bind us to one another, to place, to memory, and to the world around us.

Creative expression unlocks and reveals a world of literal, abstract, personal, or political interpretations: Intimacy and relationship, community and belonging, ancestry and heritage, identity and the self, ecology and the body, technology and its paradox of closeness and distance...

Artists in this vernissage invite us to reflect on what it means to be truly connected, offering new ways of seeing, thinking and being through countless forms.
