Brussels + Barcelona: cities of the future
INSTITUT RAMON LLULL PRESENTS
Brussels and Barcelona are two of the most attractive cities in Europe. The two combine a rich past, a vibrant present, and above all, they are harbingers of the Europe of the future. They are centers of diversity where multilingualism and encounters of people from all over the world are a reality. The artistic work in Brussels and Barcelona puts us face to face with the richest and most exciting challenges of our time.
