Governance & Eloquence
About Us
The Royal Association Olivaint Conference of Belgium, founded in 1954, is a training center for “governance”, i.e. the institutions, rules, processes and behaviors that influence the exercise of power at the local, national and international levels. Its objective is to offer students who wish to do so additional training for future professional responsibilities that reflect a commitment to citizenship.
