Seven organizations have now joined to take part in Buddy voor Elkaar! Namely FC Eindhoven, Vestide, huisvesting voor Studenten (Student Housing), Sondervick College, Van Maerlantlyceum, Parktheater Eindhoven, Fontys University of Applied Sciences, and CrossFit YouAct Eindhoven. With Buddy voor Elkaar, we bring locals and newcomers in the Brainport region together in an accessible way. Not a formal programme in a classroom, but meetings in places where people already gather, at school, a sports club, in the workplace or in the neighbourhood.

Buddy voor Elkaar is an ASML initiative in collaboration with Brainport voor Elkaar. Together, we want to ensure that international employees, expats, students, refugees, and other newcomers feel at home in our region more quickly and that locals get to know new people, stories, and cultures in an accessible way.

The workshops are facilitated by experienced partners in the fields of language, culture, and interaction: STE Languages ​​and Wasbeer & Pauw.
