The Royal Association Olivaint Conference of Belgium, a non-profit association founded in 1954, is non-partisan training centre for ‘governance’, i.e. the institutions, rules, processes and behaviour that influence the exercise of power at local, national and international level. Its aim is to offer students who so wish additional training with a view to future professional responsibilities that reflect a commitment to citizenship.
The Contact is the student magazine of the Royal Olivaint Conference of Belgium. It contains articles written by student members of the association on political, geopolitical and social issues. Through a free and committed writing style, Contact offers a space for reflection and analysis where critical views, new ideas and topical debates meet.
Each year, the Olivaint Conference study session offers its student-members a unique intellectual and human immersion in a country or region of strategic interest. This report brings together their critical analyses and personal accounts, based on high-level meetings, in-depth research and exchanges in the field. A young, demanding and inquisitive look at the world’s contemporary issues.
