ACB Partner Event
Cocktails & Dinner Fundraising Event
for the Direct Climate Cooking School Awards
The Fleur Rossdale Foundation and the Direct Climate Cooling Initiative (DCCI) bring together storytelling, art, drama, and science within schools, transforming climate education into something lived, felt, and expressed. The programmes are already being introduced across Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, and Kenya, with plans to grow an international network of schools connected through shared learning, creative exchange, and real-world environmental action.

To support these goals, this event is to raise money to nurture a future generation of climate actionists – young people equipped not only with knowledge, but with the confidence and creativity to communicate and lead. To learn more, follow this link: https://www.dcci.earth/dcci-awards-2026
The event is held at the Château d'Argenteuil, located in Waterloo, Belgium. It is a historic Renaissance-style castle built in 1858 and set within a sprawling estate bordering the Sonian Forest. It currently serves as the campus for the European School of Brussels-Argenteuil (EEBA). The Prince and Princesse Charles Louis et Clotilde de Merode who own the Château and have kindly donated it for the event, will also be attending the event.
