To bring the project extra to the attention, Wim Lybaert was asked as Peter. “We still have to see if I will be a good godfather, of course,” he says. “But I think they have asked me because I also like to chat and listen, such as in ‘De Columbus’, now for five seasons. Listening is something that you have to learn. Sometimes people mainly need a conversation without having to give answers or explain immediately.”
With the appointment of Lybaert as Peter, the city of Bruges hopes to attract more volunteers and to emphasize the importance of social connection.
