Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) are vital partners for decision-makers, as they are best placed to know population's needs in terms of development. The role of CSOs has to be strenghten from being implementing partners to sharing more responsibility with the State as the developing countries claim ownership of their own development.

"We support our country and the reforms of president Assad. We don’t want any foreign interference.” That is what Syrians in Brussels were demanding on the 11th of march 2012 and a lot of other occasions.
The debate whether European airports should use body scanners was fierce and many-sided. Should Europe follow the US and install numerous security scanners at its airports? Europe already did. Even though partially. Body scanners were allowed on European airports since 25 December 2009 when a young terrorist attempted to blow up a plane flying from Amsterdam to Detroit with plastic explosives hidden in his underwear.
On April 24, Cafebabel organised a debate on expanding the European Union to include the countries of the former Yugoslavia, bringing up the taboo subject of: Are we seeing a Europeanisation of the Balkans, or a Balkanisation of Europe?
Exhausting rehearsal schedules, no time for food, "furious” arguments and laughter to release the tension: this is the atmosphere one week before the debut of “
Reflecting the theme chosen for the 2012 edition of the Brussels Book Fair (“Sex, Books & Rock ‘N Roll”), it’s easy to draw a parallel between erotic literature and rock culture. Ever since ancient times, eroticism has oscillated between conflict and freedom. Today, literature holds a mirror to a society that has changed the standards of subversion.
Sex, eroticism... sometimes taboo, often mysterious. In our European capital, sex is everywhere and not just where it's noticeable. It can be found at the end of an alley, around an exposition, on the small screen, inside a book, in the foggy atmosphere of certain student parties, or simply at home. Glamourous, chic, even trashy, sex in Brussels can be seen in many ways. Fearless and intrepid, Cafebabel Brussels shares with you an investigation into what sex has become in the 21st century in our dear capital.
The word for “dildo” in French, “godemichet,” comes from the medieval Latin expression “Gaude Mihi,” or “Rejoice in Me.” Cafebabel Brussels is talking about toys, sensuality and pleasure, as the team participates in a sex toy Tupperware party, right in the middle of Brussels. There is a real surge in Tupperware parties in the capital. This trend is rather recent and women talk unabashedly about sex. But what really happens at these parties?
The joint statements released after the EU summits tend to be usually embellished with words of sound recognition for the role covered by the EU at a global level. The EU is part with the US of the largest and most integrated in the world trade and investment relationship. The EU is China’s biggest trading partner and China's economy has greatly benefited from Europe's open policies and open markets. This is all true, but beyond the diplomatic rhetoric, what do the major EU partners (US and China) really think about Europe? Cafebabel attended an event recently organized on the “

Escort girls perform work that is not visible to the general public. They are pleasant, attractive, well-educated, they take care of themselves, and they are, above all, young. “Irchik,” a Russian escort in Brussels, agreed to share her experience with Cafebabel to introduce us to the hidden world of escorts.
On the 5th of April the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival was opened to the enthusiastic public for the 30th time. Barbara Steele , star of the greatest horror masterpiece of Italian film, La maschera del demonio, cut the ribbon and officially started the event.
Et oui, à l’origine, le "godemichet" viens du mot "Gaude Mihi" qui signifie "réjouis moi" en latin médiéval. Cafebabel Bruxelles va vous parler de jouets, de sensualité et de plaisir puisque l’équipe a participé à une réunion "tupperware" version sextoys en plein centre de Bruxelles. Il existe un réel engouement pour les réunions tupperware dans la capitale européenne. Ce concept est plutôt récent et les femmes parlent de sexe sans tabou. Mais que se passe-t-il dans ces réunions?
‘Hey, nice to meet you! What do you do in Brussels? Do you have a business card?’ These are typical questions you are sure to hear at a so-called networking event in Brussels. Brussels, a city where expats (probably attracted by the European Bubble) represent a great part of the population. A city where making social connections -and then networking- is essential to feel better integrated. But, what is exactly networking? Apparently, it is an ‘exchange of information or services among individuals, groups or institutions and specifically the cultivation of productive relationships for employment or business’.
There is light but there is also shadow in the present and in the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Necessary constitutional changes need to be undertaken in order to enable the entry into force of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement. Hence, the new Council of Ministers need to concentrate on the pressing European integration agenda and take the necessary action to ensure concrete steps forward.
