Originally from Syria, Mohammed Alkhateeb was forced to flee his home in 2012 because of the war. After passing through Turkey, he arrived in the Netherlands in 2018. “When I got here, I felt completely lost. I didn’t know anything or anyone, and I didn’t speak the language.” Now, after years of perseverance, learning, and integration, he feels at home.

When Pouriya Jalalipour fled Iran in 2019 and arrived in the Netherlands, he found himself in a world that felt completely unfamiliar. The language, the culture, even the way people interacted, everything was new. Step by step, he began to develop a deeper interest in and respect for his new environment. Thanks to his perseverance and a language course at STE, he not only learned Dutch but also gained a better understanding of how Dutch people think and behave.

So far, more than 300 students have enrolled. An Open Enrolment is a language course aimed at increasing an individual's Dutch, English and German language ability level. You follow a course in a group of a maximum of 11 students, online or face to face.

This year, the IamExpat Fair took place in Eindhoven for the first time. Expats are true global citizens but even here in the Netherlands, there are always new things to discover. Whether you've just arrived or have been living here for a while, life as an international is full of questions: Where can you find a nice house? A good school for your children? A good MBA programme? A reliable accountant? Or just the right words to strike up a conversation with your Dutch neighbours?

Naturally, our supporter base is changing too,” Anyone walking through Eindhoven on an average day hears the sound of an international city.
