Laure is a dynamic force bridging the world of policy with the heartbeat of nightlife culture. As a project officer at the Flemish Community Commission (VGC), she champions youth collectives and helps shape nightlife policy, ensuring grassroots initiatives receive the support they need.

Laure Robenek has been an active player in Leuven’s nightlife scene since 2019. As a former member of the Fabrik, Affair and nacht collectives, she has made her mark on safer nightlife in Leuven, often with Stelplaats as her home base. In 2024, Laure coordinated “Stelplaats Cares”, a participatory workshop in which a safer space policy was drawn up, tailored to all visitors and users of Stelplaats. She will share a unique perspective on how to foster a more inclusive and sustainable cultural landscape, from policy-making to community-building.
