As the King Baudouin Foundation marks its 50th anniversary, this panel explores how a half-century of philanthropic engagement has shaped the cultural and heritage landscape - and how these lessons can guide us in the future. With contributions from the King Baudouin Foundation’s leadership, a donor, and a grantee, we will reflect on the challenges and opportunities ahead: how philanthropy sustains heritage, how cultural initiatives transform lives, and how looking back enables us to go further.
