City of Antwerp, warm heart of Europe

Unique location

Antwerp’s location close to Brussels will be opportune also in acquainting participants with policy making in the EU and the EU’s international commitments on sustainable development and human rights through exposure to practitioners from the EU as well as through visits to key European institutions as well as offices of the United Nations, its agencies and those of the World Bank in Brussels. 

The city of Antwerp itself is a global city featuring a multicultural mix of large African, Arab, Jewish, Latin-American and Asian communities.  It has bustling music and theatre scene and a charming medieval historic centre attached to one of the biggest ports in the world, all together making a perfect place to study abroad and discover the centre of Europe.
