Our bidbook

Namur, just like the rest of Europe, is going through a period of diffluence. In the field of hydrology, diffluence refers to the time when a water course begins to split into branches that will never converge again. In our societies, this phenomenon can be seen everywhere, with divisions, nationalism, identity entrenchment, threatening social cohesion and contributing to the rise of all kinds of racism and discrimination issues.
“Security” has now become a major issue for the population of Namur despite stagnating crime levels. We are watching our territory fragment in response to the fears that beset us.

There are a thousand names for the local and international crises that we are currently witnessing and the resulting ruptures between people, between places, between tradition
and modernity. But there may not be a thousand ways of resolving them. In Namur, we believe in confluence.
