VAKlab is Bokrijk's expertise and service centre for craftsmanship and entrepreneurship. We guide makers, designers and entrepreneurs in realising their dreams and ambitions. Together with our partners, we strengthen and develop contemporary craftsmanship as an added value for the economy and other sectors.
In addition, Bokrijk also has a national service role: 'Craftsmanship and Heritage' has been Bokrijk's expertise centre since 2019, focusing on the contemporary relevance of historical wood and construction techniques. From the Campus of Craftsmanship, V&E inventories, researches, supports and communicates this craftsmanship heritage throughout Flanders and Brussels. As a service provider, V&E is part of a strong national network and also operates as an international knowledge actor.
Our craftsmanship team has carefully put together all activities in this calendar. They are primarily aimed at professionals. Registration is mandatory and can be done via Eventbrite. The activities always take place in Bokrijk Castle, unless stated otherwise. Activities with a (*) are paid. All our activities are subject to sufficient registrations.
