TEDx Theme

Eutropolis is an everchanging utopian vision for the Euregion Meuse-Rhine. It connects more than 10 middle sized cities in this international region by imagining a crossborder subway system. This vision is not about transport. This vision is about making borders fade!

Vision

What you'll see is an image of a diverse international partly urbanized, partly green area with 3.9 million inhabitants, three nationalities, three languages and with many institutions in the field of culture and education. In this regard Eutropolis is a truly European laboratory.

ideas worth spreading

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Venue

Muziekodroom, HasseltWe are proud to present TEDxEutropolis at the Muziekodroom Centre For Music. Concerts, rehearsals, lessons. You can do it all. This musical beehive is highly committed to offering music education and a broad range of concerts for 10 years now. There's a focus on young and innovative bands with the yearly indoor club festival Play.

Muziekodroom is established in Quartier Canal. In recent years the Quartier Canal in Hasselt - from the ‘Kempische Poort to the Sas’ - has grown from an industrial zone to a creative and hybrid development zone. With the recent arrival of diverse young and dynamical entrepreneurs in places such as KAAI.16, De Silo and VDAB, there is a natural balance between creativity, education, innovation, entrepreneurship and industry. In other words, it’s the new creative hotspot of Hasselt.
