You will have the opportunity to catch up with friends, make new friendships with other Kiwanis members, learn and exchange ideas during workshops and have your voice heard about the future of the organization in Belgium and Luxembourg.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">This year we are settling down in Ghent, the hometown of Governor Guido De Bie. A city that breathes history with its stately buildings and winding alleys, but at the same time is bursting with life thanks to trendy coffee bars, colorful street art and vibrant festivals. Ghent is the perfect blend of old and new &#8211; a place where you feel the past, but are totally in tune with the present.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The conference will take place in the cozy and contemporary MeetDistrict at the Planet Group Arena in Ghent. In addition to the familiar ingredients of our Kiwanis congresses, this year we also look back on all that has been accomplished.  <\/p><p class=\"p1\"> <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2475d83 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2475d83\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06f33b9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"06f33b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">An important step forward is the digitization of the Kiwanis directory, which recently became available online. Through a clear and user-friendly platform, members can easily find data, functions and club info &#8211; a modern solution that brings our network closer together.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">And that is by no means all. The many projects carried by Kiwanis BeLux also receive attention: from Urban Youth Games and Special Olympics to K-Dolls, Children by the Sea, ChildrensWheels, KidsDay, rag dolls and so much more.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The future looks promising. We cordially invite you to be there, to listen, celebrate and end the year in the spirit of our motto: &#8220;At your service. It promises to be a rich and inspiring program.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Let yourself also be taken on an exploration of Ghent, where our K-Dolls await you as colorful guides along the trail.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kiwanis \u201cat your service\u201d Come and participate in this unique annual experience!
