Creating of social bond throughout space
Brussels, Belgium 🇧🇪
9 – 12 June, 2026
This edition invites students, young professionals, and practitioners from across Europe to explore how social bonds are built — or blocked — through Third Places.
Hosted in Brussels, this edition of CREAConnect focuses on understanding how shared spaces can move from simple coexistence to meaningful social connection and collective agency. Through an online preparation phase followed by an intensive on-site hackathon, participants will work alongside local Third Places, international mentors, and interdisciplinary teams to develop grounded and feasible proposals.
>More than a competition, CREAConnect is a collaborative laboratory rooted in real contexts, real actors, and real urban dynamics.
