About us

Ryckevelde is a non-profit organisation promoting conscious European citizenship. We offer training and debates and run actions, events and projects on the European integration process. Our organisation is located in Damme, Belgium.

It was founded as a ‘Centre of Europe’ by Karel Verleye in 1956. As a pioneer of the European cooperation, he was also founder of the College of Europe in Bruges in 1949.

As we are an organisation based in Flanders, most of our activities target a Flemish audience. However, we run several activities and projects for European audiences as well. We target both youngsters in education and adults.
