Hello all,

We had a great founding event in the drawing rooms of the president of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives.

A good step also has been taken for getting Freedom of Panorama in Belgium!

The Chamber of Representatives also Twitters, and did send this tweet today: https://twitter.com/DeKamerBE/status/535105474916798464 On the photo the President of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives and 6 of 7 board members of Wikimedia Belgium

And be aware, Belgium hosts the European Commission and the European Parliament as well largely, we like to think beyond the borders of language and country and like to work together and engage with other organisations and people inside and outside Belgium.

You want to help us? The difficulty of Belgium is that we have multiple official languages. To move forward, we will need help in getting short and longer texts, translated and improved, in multiple languages. So if you want to help to translate or improve some text for us in English, French, German or Dutch, let us know!

You got interested?
