• running the “Book of the Summer/Winter” initiative for years: Twice a year, we offer each staff member a book. Every employee can choose their book from a list curated by Giles, featuring books that have inspired or resonated with him in some way.

• supporting the “Foire du Livre de Bruxelles” organization, particularly its Objectif Lire program. The Objectif Lire program targets audiences that are distant from reading and writing for social, cultural, economic, or other reasons (such as the elderly, prisoners, immigrants, illiterates). It offers writing workshops and literary events as a beautiful way to introduce the world of books to those who are far removed from it.

• Daoust also supports the Out of the Books Festival, the first education festival in Belgium, aimed at introducing tools and new techniques related to the field of education to help evolve practices. Supporting the evolution of the educational system and reigniting the joy of learning in the new generation—actions that are truly Welcome to the Family!

• Daoust also supports La Cambre and its Master’s program in Literary Texts and Creative Writing, designed for young writers who wish to professionalize their artistic approach connected to writing practices. By creating this Master’s program, La Cambre has positioned itself as a pioneer in Belgium, offering an ambitious curriculum centered around literary creation
