A 20 minute train ride east of Brussels you find yourself in the oldest university in Belgium, in the Flemish town of Leuven. With 60,000 students the university buildings resemble Oxbridge except their are no enclosures. The university was founded in 1425. 

Leuven is a cosy, cobble stoned, easy for walking city, less known than Bruges which means less crowds, and a chance to explore without tourists in sight. A good pre Christmas break says The Times.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
