We do not uphold these values ​​merely to represent apparent moral standards. Bozar actually puts words into actions. Therefore, meet The Writers' Parliament; a 3-part gathering of writers, thinkers and interested parties to reflect together on the future. A fantastic event where fake news is thrown off the table and makes way for critical thinking.

Respectable guests take the floor through poems and other literary texts to seek nuance in times of polarisation. The iconic hemisphere of the Belgian Senate was the beautiful backdrop for these three evenings full of poetry and imagination, beauty and solace. Delighted, we look back on three highly successful editions.
