Why this camp
The BAF Camp is a space to meet, organize and strengthen struggles. It starts from an observation: rights are declining, repression is increasing and movements are fragmented.
The objective is to create links between collectives, share practices and build strong and lasting alliances, while maintaining lively and accessible spaces.
What we are trying to do
Relate
Create bridges between struggles and territories (Brussels, Wallonia, Flanders).
Make visible
Highlight local and international struggles.
Get organized
Share strategies, debate and build commonality.
Positioning
The camp is part of social, anti-fascist, ecological, peasant, feminist, anti-racist, anti-imperialism, decolonial, anti-validist and queer struggles. It is based on an anti-authoritarian approach and seeks to limit relationships of domination, including internally.
- Refusal of oppression (racism, sexism, validism, classism, LGBTQIA+phobias, etc.)
- Pay attention to power relations in discussions
- Central place given to the people concerned
- No dominant emphasis on an organization or ideology
Collective operation
The camp is self-managed and based on active participation. It operates through working groups and decisions taken collectively.
- Horizontal organization (consent logic)
- Participation of all (volunteer shifts during the camp)
- Openness to new people and groups
Basic framework
The camp is not a guaranteed “safe” space, but a space where we try to build conditions of respect and listening.
- Respect for experiences and speeches
- Consent (interactions, photos, physical contact)
- Refusal of violent or manipulative behavior
- Take your share of responsibility in the event of conflict
A team dedicated to care and conflict management will be present during the camp.

Work is being carried out to make the camp accessible to as many people as possible, even if everything cannot be perfect.
- FR / NL / EN translations
- Pay attention to specific needs (food, accessibility, etc.)
- Selected mixed spaces
- Working with relevant groups upstream
