We noticed that everyone was allowed to slowly crawl out of their bunks again. Spectators and residents came out from behind every corner, tree and brick to briefly observe the artists. And the result is worth it: the building looks a thousand times better than it did before, and that was confirmed (sometimes loudly) by the smiles and nods of passers-by.
De Nova - the school of the future
In cooperation with experts from the art, business and academic worlds, De Nova brings a revolutionary school concept to the Leuven region. De Nova wants to be a school where knowledge is really linked to the world around you, where you really learn to learn together and where you really gain insight into yourself. Artists Lobster Robin and Simon Mannaerts have taken advantage of this unique opportunity and have painted a work of art inspired by the vision of this new school.
