Laurent Geissmann, born 1974 in France, lives in Ixelles, has French roots and works as an educator around environment in schools. Attaches great importance to rituals around life transitions, but rejects commercial traditions such as Christmas or Mother's Day. For him, Brussels is where he studied and then built a life. Loves parks, the Sonian forest and small restaurants, cafés and other local meeting places. Is critical of places with no soul, taken over by consumption. His questions to the future are about community issues and Brussels Region, about housing and autonomy in terms of food and consumption.
