SDC ASBL is a role-playing game club based in Brussels. We occupy a house entirely dedicated to our passion. Our members have access to 7 rooms, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All styles of play are represented, there is something for everyone! At Made in Asia, we offer introductory role-playing sessions of about one hour so that everyone can discover tabletop RPGs.

An association born with the support of gamers. Noticing the invisibility of Black women in video games, their absence from the e-sports scene, from streaming, and even within her own circle of players, Jennifer Lufau created Afrogameuses on social media with the aim of connecting with other women who share the same passion for gaming. Our goal is to encourage a video game ecosystem that better represents ethnic minorities at every level: characters, streaming platforms, education and training, as well as the e-sports and professional worlds. To achieve this, we create role models, raise awareness, inform, educate, and provide support in order to promote equal opportunities for underrepresented communities within the video game industry.

We are hypnosis practitioners who have been active for many years in both supporting people and teaching this discipline. At Made in Asia, we invite you to discover hypnosis in a different way, far from the clichés conveyed by movies, series, anime, or stage hypnosis… even though this universe is also part of our culture and background. On our stand, there is no therapy, no sessions, and no deep hypnotic induction.

Instead, you will find:

• free demonstrations of responsiveness

• simple, fun, and accessible experiences for everyone

• clear explanations about how hypnosis really works

 

These demonstrations are not sessions, but educational tools designed to help you understand:

• why some people respond very quickly

• why hypnosis is neither a loss of control nor a form of manipulation,

• and how it can become a serious and effective therapeutic tool when practiced in an appropriate setting

 

Our goal at Made in Asia is simple: to demystify hypnosis, answer questions, spark curiosity, and allow everyone to leave with a more accurate, human, and realistic understanding of this practice. If you’ve always wanted to know what lies behind the myth, our stand is for you.
