Your language, your power
Poetry workshop by Rebelle
Rebelle vzw brings gender and well-being closer together by strengthening the voice of women* in society. In this way, we give words to people who are not heard enough. Because language is a powerful medium for connecting and expressing your world.
During this poetry workshop, we will search together for language to express what is going on inside. No difficult rules or big words – just you, your pen, and space to feel and write. We offer accessible methods for playing with words and converting emotions into visual language. Develop your own voice in poems and texts about themes that are close to your heart.

Visit the Rebelle vzw participatory stand to get involved and dive into the fight for gender equality. Share experiences with other participants, discuss inequality and turn your feelings and thoughts into slogans that resonate. Afterwards, bring them to life on canvas – ready to show your message to the world!
Cards with provocative questions and statements serve as conversation starters for sharing experiences, then design your own slogan and put it on canvas. The slogan canvases – in multiple languages – will then be used during the 2026WOMEN TRIBUNAL public ceremony on the Saturday 28th at 19h (see info below).

Unmasking Patriarchal Mythology
Writing workshop by the Kurdish Women’s Movement in Europe (TJK-E) and the Jineology Centre
The origins of patriarchy are reflected in ancient mythological stories. At the same time – even if hidden – they represent an important source of women’s resistance history. Of significant importance thereby is how we read and interpret these stories, which are not just fairy tales but reflect realities in a covert and indirect way.
The aim of this workshop is to rethink and analyse mythological stories with a critical eye from a women’s perspective, uncovering patriarchal and misogynist rhetoric. Ancient mythological stories from Mesopotamia and Greek civilizations will be read and analyzed in relation to their patriarchal and misogynist content. Participants will re-narrate the stories from a feminist perspective, re-tell it in their way and be given the opportunity to make short theatrical performances if they wish.

TAZ (Talent Aan Zet)
Psychophysical workshop by Zoë Parys & Kras Jeugdwerk
TAZ is a psychophysical and educational training session highly relevant for women. The name comes from youth slang and expresses mild annoyance — something like “geez!” or “come on!” — but always with a smile and a sense of perspective.
That’s exactly what TAZ teaches: dealing consciously with challenges, giving space to emotions, and focusing on how to respond rather than react. You can’t always choose what happens to you, but you can choose how you deal with it.
Participants will explore who they are, what they can do, and what they want — both individually and in relation to others — through a combination of Thai boxing and mindfulness. By working on self-knowledge, self-confidence, and self-regulation, they strengthen their resilience and engagement with their environment. The key themes are ownership, empowerment, and connection.
