Program

Liberating structures for Visual Practitioners with Laurens Bonnema & Rachel Van der Wal

“Liberating Structures is a methodology that provides structure without restriction. It uses simple and powerful facilitation methods that enable groups to reach profound insights and effective solutions together, regardless of hierarchy or background. The goal is to unlock the potential of everyone in the group, thereby fostering collaboration, engagement, and creativity”

G-sport and inclusion, Dominique Dehaene CEO G-Sport Belgium

“The road to the Special Winter Olympics. Empowering inclusion: rasing awareness and funs for G-Sport Athletes. A moment of co-creation to support G-sport.

Working Peaceful Together with Claudio Nichele

Enrich differences, not divide them. Collaboration transcends borders & culture. Claudio is our well know colleague who has an amazing record in visual facilitating in European context. 

And…

Besides inspiring stories, there’s also time for brainstorming and making new connections and the last news from the European Visual field.   We are further structuring the EVP iNGO to be ready for the future with lots of new faces and create new ambitions together. 

Location

Ieper is a historic city located in the Flemish region of Belgium. It is renowned for its rich history, particularly its significance during World War I. Post war, Ieper was meticulously rebuilt, preserving its medieval architecture and historical landmarks.

Key attractions include the Menin Gate Memorial and The Cloth Hall, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a striking Gothic building that houses the museum and serves as a reminder of the city’s prosperous medieval past.

The city’s blend of poignant history and charming culture makes it a fitting location for the European Visual Practitioners’ event themed “Peaceful Projections.”

Located in the Ypres Business Park, Woodness will be our venue location.
