LONG DESCRIPTION


Hello,

I am passionate about beers, chocolate, mountains and ... the EU. While I haven't done much efforts to get passionate about the tree first ones, I have to admit that getting passionate about the EU took me a bit longer. One of the aim of this tour is actually to share this passion, to discuss its critics and challenges. My tour will be the opportunity to learn about the functioning of the EU political system and to discover the nice parks, impressive buildings and historical streets of the so-called "EU bubble". I will explain, with simple words but without simplifying the reality, how lobbies work and interact on a daily basis with the institutions. What's their power of influence? How do they manage persuasion? What's their budget? How transparent are they? My way of working is as follow: the goal will be to welcome you in my city and make you discover the EU bubble in a pleasant and interesting way. Places we will pass by: Parc du Cinquentenaire, Schuman, Leopold Garde, Place de Luxembourg, Square de Meus. Experience on the topic: College of Europe, professional experience in EU Affairs and currently working as a PhD candidate at Université Saint-Louis - Bruxelles. Cheers,

Loïc

DESCRIPTION COURTE

Venez visiter la bulle européenne de Bruxelles, ses institutions et ses lobbies. La visite se fera à travers les rues et les parcs de la capitale belge, tout en apprenant le fonctionnement des lobbies en Europe. Ce tour est une première ! Il se pourrait même qu’il soit le premier tour permanent de ce genre. N’hésitez pas à me contacter pour arranger une visite si vous êtes plus de quatre personnes intéressées. Pour vous inscrire : par téléphone ou whatsapp (0032.498.75.02.34), ou via message facebook. DESCRIPTION LONGUE :

Bonjour,

J’ai (au moins) quatre grandes passions dans ma vie : la bière, le chocolat, les montagnes et … l’UE. Si je n’ai pas dû faire le moindre effort pour me passionner des trois premiers, je dois admettre que ma passion pour l’UE a pris plus de temps à se construire. L’un des buts de ce tour est d’ailleurs de vous partager cette passion, de discuter ses critiques et ses défis. Ce tour sera l’opportunité d’apprendre le fonctionnement du système politique européen et de découvrir les superbes parcs, les impressionnants bâtiments et les rues historiques de la « bulle européenne ». Je vous expliquerai, avec des mots simples mais sans simplifier la réalité, comment les lobbies interagissent de manière journalière avec les institutions. Quel est leur pouvoir d’influence ? Comment gèrent-t-ils la persuasion ? Quel est leur budget ? A quel point sont-ils transparents ? Ma manière de travailler est la suivante : le but de la visite est de vous accueillir dans ma ville and de vous faire découvrir la bulle européenne d’une manière plaisante et intéressante. Pendant la visite, nous passerons par les endroits suivant : parc du cinquantenaire, rond point Schuman, parc Léopold, Place de Luxembourg et le Square de Meus. Expérience sur le sujet : Collège d’Europe, expérience professionnelle en Affaires européennes et je suis actuellement doctorant à l’Université Saint-Louis – Bruxelles. Au plaisir de partager cette bulle avec vous !
