Scheduled activities

In a "life as it is" session, a department takes the floor and talks about its day-to-day job, achievements and future challenges in order to inspire other fellow employees. This time: our HR team!

In the Upgrade Academy we share knowledge as a lever for personal development. A monthly lunch & learn session provides our fellow workers with insights into results or new developments.
In order to support our tenants, investors & partners even better, we are in the process of integrating Hubspot. Through a number of learning sessions, our fellow workers can also learn how to make optimal use of this tool.

The Upgrade Academy organises several workshops for its Upkot students & gives them tips & tricks for a smooth course through the academic year. In this workshop, we coach the students on how best to work on their learning material and how a feasible planning leads to better results.The workshop is given in English.
The Upworkshop will be given in English and takes place at the Upgrade Academy, Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 128 in Gent or you can follow from anywhere online.

Frans Goenee takes you along in the creative thinking of Anton Pieck, the first designer of the Efteling, how gave the Fairytale Forest its characteristic atmosphere. Anton Pieck's philosophy was that after every crooked curve, there was an opportunity to cause amazement. It is not without reason that the Fairytale Forest in the Efteling has many curved roads that always lead to another fairy tale. Behind every bend, another surprise awaits.
Through his 31 years of extensive experience as Inspiration Manager Hospitality, Frans Goenee shares his lessons in his own way and with passion. He gives examples of how to apply the essence of this "crooked road theory" in an organisation. He provides you with a refreshing look to get started in your own environment or organisation.
The keynote will be given in Dutch at the Upgrade Academy, Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 128 in Ghent.

When you say The Lunatics, you also say impro theatre. And what an impro theatre! Their shows are all about speed, surprise and comedy. During this impro theatre you will be amazed. They jump unprepared on stage and based on the input of the audience they make on the spot an evening to remember.
The show takes place in Dutch at the Upgrade Academy, Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 128 in Ghent.

In cooperation with dance school La Tangueria we organise 2 dance workshops. During this free trial lesson you will discover the real Argentine tango which is based on connection and improvisation and not on choreography or structures as in the ballroom dances.

No dance knowledge is required to take part, even if you think you have two left feet... you might be surprised by your hidden dance talent!
Wear normal casual clothes and street shoes that are attached to the foot.
You can come to the tango class in couple, but also without a partner, because everyone can choose to learn the leader role or the follower role (or alternately try both).

Location: La Tangueria, 239 Chaussée de Jette/Chaussée de Jette, 1080 Brussels (near Simonis)
