Anti Bullying at Zonnebos + 20 Years Concertgebouw Brugge

24 February 2022

For the Week against Bullying, Queen Mathilde visited Zonnebos, a secondary school for children with special needs in 's-Gravenwezel. 

Some of the pupils told her about their first hand experience with being bullied.

At night, there was a second activity when the Queen attended a concert by the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen at the Concert Hall of Bruges.

Mathilde arrived 40 minutes late because of a road accident. The start of the concert was put on hold until her arrival. 

The Queen explicitly communicated the fact that she wishes to show her support to the world of culture and the arts in these hard times. The cultural field has been hit hard by both the pandemic and the political decision to refuse them any support whatsoever.
