About the event
The Peter Pauwels Campaign leaves its home base in Leuven and heads to Brussels to explore the wartime history of the municipalities along the Middenring R21 in the east of the Brussels Region.
Participants are welcome from 10:30 in the OSB-huis (Triomflaan 40, 1160 Oudergem) for a brunch and coffee and a small presentation, after which Danny Carleer will take you through the war history of Brussels. Don't wait too long: only 20 people can participate in this excursion!
The tram will also be used three times to move between locations. If you do not have a season ticket yourself, we can provide you with a day pass (ticket to be purchased separately from the tickets). You can also opt to purchase this day pass yourself via the MIVB app or pay contactless on the tram or metro with your bank card. You can find more information about this on the MIVB website .
Please note: two brochures will be produced (one for the municipalities of Ixelles and Etterbeek, the other for Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe and Schaerbeek). One of the brochures is included in the price – the other brochure will also be available and costs €10.
