21 July: stop by our stand and join us as we smurf along towards a sustainable future!

On our national holiday, our FPS will be on hand in Rue de la Régence in Brussels with an interactive stand on the theme of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Be sure to come and play along to discover how crucial the SDGs are to our future!

The celebrations in Brussels on the occasion of our national holiday provide a unique opportunity for various federal departments to showcase what they have to offer and so the FPS Foreign Affairs will also be taking part in the event!

We will be hosting an eye-catching stand on the theme of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a roadmap for a better world by 2030 and also an important guide for our FPS. By taking part in some fun games, you'll be able to learn about the SDGs and if you successfully complete three games, you will be entitled to a prize.

At this year's event, we will be taking a closer look at four SDGs:

• SDG 2 – Zero Hunger
• SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being
• SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy
• SDG 14 – Life Below Water

Smurfs

As you may already know, the SDGs are being highlighted worldwide by well-known ambassadors such as Queen Mathilde, Shakira, Lionel Messi, and... our beloved Smurfs! Those little blue heroes will also be helping us involve the public in a fun way this year.

So be sure to stop by Rue de la Régence, take part in our activities and go home with a fun photo and a gift. Search for the Smurfs, then you'll know you're in the right place!

Our colleagues from B-FAST (Belgian First Aid and Support Team) will also have a stand a little further down the Rue de la Régence.
