The Davidsfonds is a Catholic organisation in Flanders, Belgium with the purpose of promoting the Flemish culture in the areas of literature, history and art. The Davidsfonds was founded in Leuven, Belgium on 15 January 1875, with the motto ''Voor Godsdienst, taal en volk'' (E: For religion, language and people). It was named after canon and professor Jean-Baptist David. Together with the Vermeylenfonds (socialist) and the Willemsfonds ( liberal), it promoted the Flemish culture, resulting in a growing feeling of Flemish identity.

While sometimes leading to wasteful re-duplication the pillars also supported each ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
