Taking a deep dive into Brussels’ waste management: seven types of wastes in the capital, a survey by our second-year Journalism Master’s students in Le Soir!

04.03.2023
On Saturday, 4th March, a survey conducted by a group of our second-year Journalism Master’s students was published in the online version of Le Soir and in the day’s supplement.

As part of the "Brussels, field survey" course, a group of students supervised by Phillipe Laloux and Jean-François Leconte have published the results of a term’s work in the online and print versions of Le Soir.

Following previous articles such as "Brussels faced with urban exodus" (2018/2019), "Brussels is feeling better" (2019/2020), and "Brussels kicks back, taking a deep dive into the capital’s water management" (2021/2022), this year’s theme concerns the issue of public hygiene.

This course has been provided within the framework of ac structural partnership with Le Soir since 2018. It requires a significant investment on the part of our students, who are judged on a wide range of criteria by their teachers and by the editorial staff at Le Soir.

We congratulate the 22 students for this publication!

Why are public trash receptacles overflowing? Why do some neighbourhoods feel as if they have been abandoned by the public authorities? And, lastly, why is Brussels so dirty? These are the questions that a handful of IHECS Journalism students wanted to explore for three months, in collaboration with Le Soir.
