The images will thus be shown live from 9 am till 7 pm from Monday 28 till Sunday 4 July 2010 (except on Wednesday 30 June) on a giant screen in:

• Brussels: Square du Bastion [plan]
• Kinshasa: Place Braconnier

People who will walk past the huge screen in Brussels, at the border of the Matongé quarter, can thus observe the life in Kinshasa, whereas the inhabitants of Kinshasa can watch the events on the square in Brussels.

Videoconferences

In the week from 28 June till 4 July 2010 (except on Wednesday 30 June), from 5 pm till 6 pm, video conferences will be organized. In front of the screen in Brussels, speakers can exchange in real time with their Congolese correspondents. These exchanges will deal with several subjects:

• history of the 2 countries and development program
• tourism and sport
• relations between entrepreneurs
• Belgian, Congolese and European institutions
• Millenium Goals in education and health
• art and culture

Website of the City of Brussels

During this week, the website of the City will show the live images of the webcams in Brussels and Kinshasa during 1 hour (from 3 pm till 4 pm).

The management of the connection via the internet is assured by GIAL, which supports the whole project. Because of its experience with the 3 webcams of the City (Grand-Place, Place De Brouckère and Atomium), GIAL also assures the integration of the webcam images on the website of the City.
