The Imagination Club

The other day I went to the a session at the Imagination club site in Brussels.


The format of this gathering is quite simple:

  • One person gives a workshop on any creative (preferably non commercial) topic.
  • Anyone can come and join the workshop for a small donation to cover snacks and room rent.
  • The presenter gets a round of feedback where people can say what they liked, what could be improved and what new things they take with them.



Simple format, a very relaxed atmosphere, an inspirational workshop and a nice drink with participants afterwards rounded off a very nice evening.


Thanks very much for organizing this Jeffrey & Andy. I’ll be back for a next session for sure.


For more info and the agenda of upcoming & past events, visit the Imagination club site in Brussels or the global site.


Cheers,


Mira
