Brussels Unplugged!

<p>Marco Cappato started Eumans to respond to modern-day problems which know no boundaries. Through civic participation, his organisation seeks to empower citizens; advancing abortion, rendering democracy AI-proof, and helping those suffering most relieve their pains. When not fighting for liberty, you can find him sipping a cold <em>blanche - </em>but how was the techno scene in the 90s? Tune in and find out!</p>

<p>Edward McMillan decided to leave the EU institutional and diplomatic life to return and pursue his passion full-time: theatre! But what are the overlaps? And what's the scene like in Brussels? Is it better than London? We dive into these questions and more!</p>

<p>Emma Woodford, when she's not busy managing the day-to-day operations of the European Policy Centre, she's unplugs by writing poetry. A passion of hers, which she merges with bird watching and life. In fact, her passion started out of necessity, but quickly grew into love. </p>

<p>Alex Borum has lived many lives already - from serving his country in battle, to teaching in academia, and now bridging differences in diplomacy. We chat about his time in the Horn of Africa, coming back to Europe and starting one of the most popular LinkedIn newsletters!</p>

We talk about media freedom, the rule of law, the unfolding water crises, and the unfortunate role the EU is playing is fueling its sprawling oligarchy. Moreover, how does he enjoy Brussels after 15 years in Europe's capital? </p>
