Culture as energy recharge
Some come to life in the middle of the festival crowd, others in the silence of the exhibition hall. Culture is not only a consumption of the programme, but also a way to recharge your energy. How to know what makes us happy?
- Extroverts appreciate a lively atmosphere full of stimulus: open space, dancing fun, community energy, networking and shared experiences at festivals.
- Introverts seek a deeper sense and space for reflection: quieter environments, aesthetic experience, observation, exhibitions, architecture, quiet cinemas.
Whether you feel closer to one group or the other (or alternate between the two), summer has a lot to offer. Plus, you can take advantage of your employee benefits - a cultural bonus that will also make your wallet happy.
Open-air theatres: When the scene breathes summer air
Summer evenings are perfect for outdoor theatre. Starry skies, the smell of grass and a story that takes place just a few metres away. The perfect choice for couples, friends and families.
