**Soirée débat — Cuba : l’échec du communisme ? Aux radical-chic européens ne reste-t-il que la Corée du Nord ?**
Cette semaine, notre discussion porte sur Cuba.
Depuis la révolution de 1959, l’île est gouvernée par une dictature communiste.
Pendant des décennies, Cuba a survécu grâce au soutien économique de puissances alliées, d’abord l’Union soviétique, puis le Venezuela, l'Iran, la Chine.
Aujourd’hui, l’économie cubaine traverse une crise profonde : pénuries alimentaires, coupures d’électricité, inflation, migration massive et dépendance énergétique. La fin du soutien pétrolier vénézuélien ont accentué une situation déjà dramatique.
Dans le débat public occidental, Cuba est souvent présentée à travers des récits simplifiés :
– soit comme un symbole romantique de résistance révolutionnaire
– soit comme un exemple caricatural d’échec politique
Notre objectif n’est pas de répéter ces récits.
Notre objectif est de comprendre.
***
### **Topics We Cover**
Nous analyserons la situation cubaine à travers plusieurs angles :
**1\. Le système politique cubain**
Comment un régime communiste à parti unique a-t-il maintenu le pouvoir pendant plus de six décennies ?
**2\. L’économie cubaine et ses limites**
Pourquoi l’économie planifiée cubaine produit-elle pénuries chroniques, dépendance énergétique et faible croissance ?
**3\. Les sanctions américaines**
Quel est l’impact réel de l’embargo américain ?
Affaiblit-il le régime ou renforce-t-il sa légitimité politique ?
**4\. La fin du soutien vénézuélien**
Quel rôle le pétrole subventionné du Venezuela a-t-il joué dans la survie du modèle cubain — et que se passe-t-il lorsque ce soutien disparaît ?
**5\. L’avenir de Cuba**
Transition politique, réforme économique progressive ou stagnation durable ?
***
### **What Makes This Different**
– Nous privilégions les témoignages de personnes originaires ou connaissant directement la région
– Nous examinons ce que les médias simplifient ou ignorent
– Nous encourageons les désaccords argumentés et les perspectives contradictoires
– Nous analysons les intérêts, les rapports de force et les réalités économiques — pas les slogans
Ce n’est pas un espace de propagande.
C’est un espace de réflexion.
***
### **Why This Forum Exists**
À Bruxelles, plusieurs initiatives proposent des débats structurés.
Trop souvent, cependant, un petit cercle détermine les propositions et limite la diversité réelle des conclusions possibles.
Il existe aussi des espaces où la géopolitique se réduit à des slogans anti-américains ou à des indignations partisanes.
Ce forum n’est ni l’un ni l’autre.
Nous accueillons une véritable diversité d’opinions et d’expériences.
Personne ici ne sera exclu pour avoir remis en question un récit dominant.
Les idées se confrontent librement.
Les attaques personnelles ne sont pas tolérées.
***
### **Motions & Proposals Welcome**
Nous encourageons les participants à proposer des motions de débat.
Une motion doit être formulée avec sérieux :
– une thèse claire
– un minimum de contexte historique ou juridique
– une compréhension des enjeux géopolitiques
Les propositions destinées à stimuler la réflexion sont bienvenues.
Les slogans et provocations faciles ne le sont pas.
***
### **Languages**
La langue dépendra des participants présents.
Les débats se déroulent généralement en anglais et en français, mais nous pouvons accueillir d’autres langues lorsque cela est possible.
Langues actuellement possibles :
– English
– Français
– Nederlands
– Español
– Italiano
– Русский
– Farsi
L’objectif est la compréhension, pas la pureté linguistique.
***
### **What We Ask of Participants**
– Venez pour comprendre, pas pour “gagner” un débat
– Soyez ouverts à des perspectives qui contredisent les vôtres
– Parlez avec des faits, du contexte et de l’histoire
– Si vous proposez un sujet, venez préparé
– Critiquez les idées, jamais les personnes
– Pas de censure des opinions
– Pas d’attaques personnelles
– Pas de diffamation
Le désaccord est normal.
La paresse intellectuelle ne l’est pas.
***
### **This is not a dating meetup**
Tous les espaces sociaux ne sont pas destinés à flirter ou à chercher des opportunités romantiques.
Si vous considérez ce forum comme un terrain de drague ou que vous faites des avances non désirées, vous n’avez pas compris le but de ce groupe.
La conversation vient d’abord.
Les idées viennent d’abord.
Le respect vient d’abord.
***
### **Location & RSVP**
L’événement aura lieu à Ixelles, dans un bar public.
Pour préserver la qualité et la sécurité de la discussion, le lieu exact est communiqué uniquement aux participants confirmés via notre groupe WhatsApp.
👉 Pour RSVP et recevoir le lieu :
https://chat.whatsapp.com/LX7UkWGZ3UdLQWLBvNdezN
L’objectif n’est pas l’exclusivité.
L’objectif est une discussion sérieuse entre personnes capables de réfléchir librement.
The goal is not exclusivity, but accountability and quality of discussion.
If this format doesn’t suit you, this event may not be the right fit.

Small Joys, Long Visual Stories — A Moving Panorama Workshop
**Small Joys, Long Visual Stories — A Moving Panorama Workshop**
On the United Nations International Day of Happiness, the Brussels Creativity Lab invites you to slow down and take a closer look at joy.
In this workshop we’ll explore happiness not as a grand finale, but as something quietly unfolding over time. Together, we’ll work with the moving panorama — an early storytelling art form and ancestor of cinema — to tell stories that stretch small moments into long visual journeys.
A moving panorama is a hand-cranked storytelling device: a long illustrated scroll wound onto two spools and viewed through a small window as it slowly unrolls. In this workshop, you’ll be guided to create a short story, visualise it on a long piece of paper, and construct a simple cardboard viewing box to bring it to life.
Our focus will be on small joys, long stories: Stories built from tiny pleasures: a shared laugh, light through a window, a familiar route through the city. By drawing these moments out across the length of the scroll, the panorama becomes a way to slow happiness down so it can be noticed.
Expect a hands-on, playful session where experimentation is encouraged and artistic skill is not a prerequisite. You’ll meet others, exchange ideas, and discover how storytelling, rhythm, and movement can reveal joy hiding in plain sight.
Come curious, leave with a story — and maybe a new way of noticing happiness as it gently unfolds.
All materials will be provided.
**Ticket: €5 in cash at the door.** Ticket covers cost of materials and some snacks.
**To help our lovely hosts at Unity Bookshop continue supporting community events like this, a small donation on the day would be greatly appreciated.**
