Food Banks in Liège + UNESCO video call

22 October 2020

Queen Mathilde visited the food bank of the province of Liège. 

After a guided tour of the premises, the Queen was informed about how the pandemic has worsened the situation of many and how social structures have crumbled, increasing poverty and the need for help from food banks.

Afterwards she also visited the charity association "Accueil et Partage" in Bas-Ougrée (Seraing) that fights social exclusion.

Queen Mathilde returned to the castle of Laeken to participate in a UNESCO Global Education Meeting with various heads of state and ministers. The conference was held via video calls.

Each participant presented their priorities for learning recovery in the aftermath of the pandemic.

Mathilde spoke French and was simultaneously translated into English.
