Experiences at Refresh
End of year event
A festive drink to close the year at one of our partner venues with a reception room: local hot and cold drinks, seasonal bites and a warm atmosphere away from the office. Combine it with an experience that makes sense, like planting trees at one of our eco venues, or with an indoor activity such as a herbal tea workshop or building wildlife shelters. A special end of year moment that leaves a real mark on the ground.See the experience
Rooftop workshop
On the L[ag]UM rooftop farm above Ixelles, a visit followed by a hands-on workshop: cuttings, seed bombs, an insect hotel or ivy laundry detergent. Everyone leaves with what they made.See the experience
Meeting in nature
A working session, a seminar or a retrospective held outdoors, on one of our partner sites. A breath of fresh air to think differently, together.See the experience
Site visit
The visit is led by someone who works on the ground, who shows you how things really happen there, day to day: what has been done, what works, what is still hard. The reality of the field, unfiltered.See the experience
Ethical walking dinner
At Mundo Matongé in Ixelles, in ReFresh XL's bright room opening onto a garden and terrace, a walking dinner prepared by trainees learning sustainable cooking trades. Verrines, filled rolls and seasonal wraps made with fresh, local produce. Every bite supports professional integration.See the experience
Wildlife shelters
Insect hotels, bird nest boxes, hedgehog shelters, bat roosts or piles of wood and stones: as a team, you build all kinds of shelters for small wildlife with natural and reclaimed materials, then install them on the site. The people who run the venue explain who each shelter is for and where to place it. The shelters stay on site and welcome wildlife all year round.See the experienceBecome a partner of this project
