Discover BrOOC, the first online course entirely dedicated to Brussels!

Called “BrOOC” for Brussels Open Online Course, the aim of this online course is to deconstruct preconceived ideas about Brussels in order to help you discover this city-region in all its many facets. It is the first interdisciplinary and inter-university academic course entirely dedicated to the study of Brussels and available in French and Dutch.

Conceived in six sections, each based on a preconceived idea that distorts the perception of Brussels, the BrOOC covers the history of Brussels, its geography, the sociology of its inhabitants, its political, economic and administrative organisation and the mobility of those who live and/or work there.
