The Flemish Association (De Vlaamse Kring) of Greece was founded in 1985 and operates since March 1996 as a non-profit association. It is a Circle for Flemish people and those attracted to Flemish culture and language. You do not need to speak Flemish or Dutch to join, and you may be staying either permanently or only temporarily in Greece to become a member.

GOALS

• Establishing a friendly network and ground for building relations in between Flemish culture lovers and their families in Greece



• Reception of newcomers and helping their integration in the local Flemish and Greek communities



• Organisation of activities to bring the members closer together and provision of exchange possibilities also in the Flemish language. Activities being organised aim at different age groups (children and adults).



• We also aim at maintaining a number of Flemish traditions and folklore such as the celebration of Saint Nicolas, collection of Easter eggs, i.e. Specific celebrations are cause for a little feast the Flemish way, even here in Greece.



• The Flemish Circle can play a rather significant role in making one feel at home in Greece, but we are available only to the extent you yourself desire. For most of us it is fulfilling to find a network that offers the option of regular social contacts in organised and unorganised forms. Our activities therefore serve a purpose that is larger than "fun". We also aim at really supporting our members in all practical aspects of your local establishment.
