Wuune Belgium
Wuune is a self-organized union in Brussels, Belgium that operates completely independently from public authorities. The organization ensures members are represented in all decision-making areas, making the union truly belong to its members. At the core of Wuune’s structure is its sovereign members’ assembly, which determines action priorities, campaign strategies, and operating methods. The assembly also appoints representatives for roles essential to the union’s functioning. Wuune’s operational approach evolves with the union and adapts to its changing needs.
The union draws inspiration from “Community Organizing” principles, which involve engaging with neighborhood residents through door-to-door outreach or maintaining a presence in public spaces. This approach helps form groups and lead action campaigns at local scales, which can then expand to regional, federal, European, or even global levels.
