Festival RÊVE GÉNÉRAL moves to Sart Tilman campus

In April, the Sart Tilman campus will be decked out in three big tops! The Festival RÊVE GÉNÉRAL reconciles art, science and democracy, inviting us to re-enchant the world.

From April 2 to 28, it's a festival of shows and concerts, and an array of lectures and round-table discussions that will get the heart of the university community beating. How do artists and scientists view our societies? What are the voices, discourses and narratives that help us understand contemporary challenges?

The program includes over 90 activities: exhibitions, conferences, master classes, shows, concerts, workshops, documentaries around issues of health, migration, food transition,ecology and gender.
