Flemish Community, Administrative community in Belgium
Description
The Flemish Community is a community of Belgium in Wallonia - Flanders, Bornem. It holds responsibilities for Dutch-speaking citizens in Flanders and Brussels, focusing on language, education and cultural matters.
History
Belgium created three communities in 1980, each with its own parliament and government. This structure allowed different language groups to manage their own affairs within the federal framework of the country.
Culture
The Flemish Parliament promotes Dutch language programs, supports regional media networks, and organizes educational initiatives throughout northern Belgium and Brussels.
Practical
Residents access services through regional offices and online portals. Responsibilities mainly concern schools, hospitals and public media that shape daily life for citizens.

The parliament operates with 124 members and covers both regional and community powers. This dual role is rare in Europe and reflects the complex federal structure of Belgium.
