Spring Workshop

From 14–18 March 2026, participants of the Future 500 network will convene in Brussels, Belgium for the workshop “Rebuilding Bridges: Dialogue, Trust and Solidarity Post October 7th.” Bringing together European professionals and leaders, the workshop will create a space to reflect on the challenges shaping dialogue, social cohesion, and interreligious relations in the aftermath of crisis and collective trauma. Over five days, participants will engage in collaborative sessions examining how dialogue can be rebuilt when trust has been damaged, how artificial intelligence, online platforms, and traditional media influence public narratives and polarisation, and what can be learned from practitioners working across contexts of war, discrimination, and community-based activism. The programme will combine expert input, interactive working sessions, and opportunities for exchange and networking. We look forward to several days of exchange, reflection, and collaborative learning in Brussels.
