Appeal for the Protection of the Maison de la Culture Albanaise – Shipville”

Dear Mr. Mayor

Petition

Shipville is not merely an Albanian cultural center; it is a space for dialogue, exchange, and shared growth. In this place, the language, music, history, and traditions of the Balkans are taught and celebrated, but above all, bridges are built between cultures, young people are educated in active citizenship, and an open, pluralistic, and inclusive European identity is promoted.

Closing Shipville would mean silencing a vibrant voice of Brussels’ diversity — a city long recognized as the capital of Europe and a model of multicultural coexistence. Albanian culture, like all cultures, does not belong to one people alone; it is a shared heritage that enriches the entire community.

We ask you, with strength but also with trust, to reconsider this decision. Saving Shipville is not only an act of justice toward one community; it is a powerful message that Brussels sends to the world, affirming that culture must not be shut down. Culture unites.

With our utmost respect and with all the respect of a citizen who wishes to see cultures bring people together—never shut down or pushed aside. Marsela!
