Workshops
As part of Imagine Belgium 2026, our finalists took part in a full day of inspiring workshops, guided by professionals from across the music industry. The programme combined creative exploration with practical insight, supporting the artists in both their artistic and professional development.
The sessions included:
-
PlayRight – Neighbouring Rights
-
Sabam – Copyright & Artist Support
-
Reindert Spanhove – Artistic Exchange & Co-Creation
-
Bart Maris – Creative Flow in Group
Throughout the day, participants explored key topics such as rights management, songwriting support, and collaboration. They were encouraged to step outside their comfort zones — playing instruments they had never tried before, experimenting with new roles, and taking part in collective jam sessions. These moments of shared creation led to unexpected ideas and fresh musical directions.
Beyond the workshops, the day created space for exchange, connection, and inspiration between the artists, strengthening the sense of community within the group.
With new insights, skills, and experiences, the finalists are now ready to take the stage at Flagey for the national final.
