Afterwork Walk @CHB - Notre Dame Aux Neiges

​What it is

​This "Afterwork Walk" is an invitation to move, and engage in meaningful conversation. Designed specifically for the Commons Hub Brussels (CHB) community, impact project workers, and friends of Brussels, the route begins near the Commons Hub to ensure a seamless transition from your workday to the walk.

​Why join?

​We are blending slow mobility with the cognitive benefits of walking. Research consistently shows that walking stimulates creativity and deepens interpersonal connections. It’s not just a walk; it’s an exercise in community building.

​Theme & Timing

• ​Distance: Approximately 5 km.

• ​Route: You will step into the historic area of  Notre-Dame-aux-Neiges Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-ter-Sneeuw Our Lady of the Snows and uncover how 19th-century urban transformation reshaped Brussels—erasing a working-class neighborhood to create a symbol of freedom and power. The path will feature historic info,  anecdotes and opportunities for sharing.
