Our welcome charter

At Les Halles de Schaerbeek, there’s room for everyone. 

We believe that diversity is a treasure trove and that it is together, with respect, generosity and kindness, that we grow. At Les Halles, everyone should feel at home, free and valued in all their uniqueness. This Charter reflects our commitment to being a warm, open and inclusive venue.

No discrimination will be tolerated here. 

Racism, sexism, ableism, LGBTQIA+ phobias and other such -isms have no place here. Les Halles supports intersectional struggles and maintains a space where everyone feels respected and welcome, whatever their story.

Consent is a fundamental concept here.

It is not an option but an absolute rule. It must be free, enlightened, enthusiastic and reversible. Everyone must be able to interact in complete safety. Respecting each person’s limits, desires and privacy is fundamental. If you need help, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the team (all team members wear a Les Halles de Schaerbeek badge).

At Les Halles, we advocate solidarity in the face of inequality.

We know that invisible barriers exist for many people and we are committed to removing them. Disabilities, whether visible or not, are a priority. If there have been shortcomings in the past, we are open to dialogue to find solutions together and move towards greater fairness.

At Les Halles, we put education and raising awareness at the heart of our approach.

We aim to challenge preconceived ideas and deconstruct stereotypes through events, discussions and training. We hope that everyone will leave with a better understanding of themselves and of others, ready to combat prejudice.  

At Les Halles, we stand for equality and the liberation of oppressed peoples. 

We support artists and the public, including those still to visit us. We work to reduce social, physical and cultural inequalities in order to make our venue accessible to all. We aim to be a community. Les Halles is a living space where inclusion is a reality.  

We invite you to join with us to build an environment where every voice counts. Together, getting better day by day, we are writing the history of Les Halles de Schaerbeek.
