Were you there? Friday afternoon, 20th September, at the Royal Circus in Brussels, for the Celebration of the Open Mind? The day when VUB (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) highlighted its values with a full-fledged festival. A diverse array of voices took to the stage to express the importance of free thought. From press freedom and academic liberty to the right to self-determination... humanist freedoms, essential for an open and tolerant society, were given a moment of honour. In the aftermovie, members of the audience share their impressions of how these freethinkers impacted them.
