Hackathon and Regional Political Debates as part of the "Welcome Home" Program

Debate

 
 National  Face-to-face

In June 2022, IKEA Belgium organized a hackathon focusing on single-parent families. Over two intensive days, various organizations, associations, and businesses working with single-parent families came together to discuss the issues and challenges these families face daily and how we can improve their situation. From this hackathon emerged a memorandum containing a series of recommendations.

Driven by this initiative, IKEA Belgium decided to enlist our services to organize regional political debates on this topic. Three debates were therefore organized, respectively in Mechelen (Flanders), Liège (Wallonia), and Brussels, during the months of March and May 2023. These debates brought together various political figures from different political backgrounds, numerous representatives from the associative world, as well as single-parent families.
