Participatory workshop: “There’s something in the air”

As part of the Brussels for Clean Air campaign, JEF Brussels and the European Citizens Action Service are organising this participative democracy event. It is the occasion not only to present the most cited problems in Brussels when it comes to Air pollution, but also to jointly find solutions! Just like on our platform.

The BRAL will also provide insights on the outcomes of the Curieuzenair project to get an overview of the current air quality in Brussels.
