Brussels, a pivotal city in European affairs, serves as the focal point of this enlightening study trip, providing students with insights into its colonial past and its evolution into a prominent political center in Europe. Our journey commences with a visit to Antwerp, where students will delve into the intricacies of the diamond trade, followed by an exploration of the Plantin Moretus Museum, which sheds light on the revolutionary invention of the printing press. In Brussels, students will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of comic arts at the Belgium Comic Arts Museum, reflecting on the intersection of technology, art, and communication. A visit to the African Museum and the thought-provoking ReThinking exhibition will encourage students to critically examine historical narratives. Lastly, a guided tour of the European Parliament will offer valuable insights into Brussels' role as a dynamic global European hub.
