📅 18 February 2026 📍 Belgium

Dozens of students gathered at Vrije Universiteit Brussel’s Etterbeek campus in an action initiated by students after proposals for higher-education cuts emerged. Participants questioned the effects on study grants, progression rules and the right to continue a degree. The protest framed education access and equal opportunity as collective social rights rather than rewards reserved for students able to absorb rising costs or stricter conditions.
