STORIES UNDER THE LIGHTHOUSE
Step into the world of Alida and Gustaaf Vandenberghe, teachers of the city school no. 3 on the Oude Vuurtorenwijk before and during the Eerste Wereldoorlog. Acteurs Hilde Veulemans and Johan Verstraete step into the shoes of the legendary school pioneers who wanted to single-handedly combat illiteracy in a disadvantaged neighborhood.
This story walk takes you along the locations that appear in the book ‘Het Alsjeblieftmeisje’. Two characters from the book, Gustaaf and Alida, bring the history of these special spots and take you into the world of the day laborers who populated the old Lighthouse District.
