At De Harmonie, you can eat a hot meal for a few euros, there is an endless stream of slack coffee and you can play cards all day. It is a meeting place in a neighbourhood where the social fabric is very fragile.

How do you ensure that people here do not disappear between their four walls, get lost in the multitude of concrete or sink into their armchairs never to get out again?
