Objective / Goal of the activity

The main goal of this event was to introduce the Dutch culture to new international students in a light-hearted way.

Description

Do the Dutch really walk on wooden shoes and only eat potatoes for dinner? Do we eat chocolate on our bread for breakfast and use ‘pannenkoek’ (which means pancake) as a swearword? Find out during our introductory Dutch Culture Night with Sander Schroevers this Thursday, the 5th of September!

During Dutch Culture Night interculturalist Sander Schroevers will highlight aspects of Dutch cross-cultural patterns, allowing you a better understanding of people’s behavior. This evening is organized in collaboration with the Cross-Cultural Business Skills Minor (Part-time Academy)

We’ll have some typical Dutch snacks for you to try out and there will be a quiz about the Netherlands, with a special gift for the winner!

Start off your discovery of the Netherlands right and don’t miss out on this evening! Bonus: it’s completely free!
