Exposition “The Future of my Dreams”: 3 to 10 December
How do the students in OKAN-education (education for non-native newcomers) see their future? That’s a question the students themselves were asked to answer by the creation of a unique work of art. In total, six schools and more than fifty students were up for the challenge. The fruit of their labours can be admired on campus Diepenbeek and campus Oude Gevangenis at the University of Hasselt. At this location, the works of art make clear that the students believe in a future with a great respect for human rights.
