Flemish Community

The Flemish Community is a regional government in Belgium responsible for cultural, educational, and linguistic affairs within the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders. It operates alongside other regional and national governments, managing matters like schools, media, and cultural institutions that serve the Dutch-speaking population. Its existence reflects Belgium's federal structure, which recognizes different communities and regions to accommodate its diverse linguistic and cultural groups. The Flemish Community works to promote and preserve Flemish language and culture, and it has its own parliament and ministers, enabling local governance tailored to the needs of its residents.
