‘I would like to meet a fellow Rotterdammer and practise my Dutch’

You already speak Dutch but would like to practise the language with someone. You enjoy meeting other Rotterdammers. You like venturing out into the city.

Then joining Welcome to Rotterdam is something for you!

What does Welcome to Rotterdam do?
Welcome to Rotterdam organises meetings between old and new Rotterdammers.

Old Rotterdammers are people who speak Dutch well and really know their way round the city. They would like to get to know someone from a different cultural background.

New Rotterdammers are people who have lived here for a short while or longer, but do not speak Dutch very well yet and would like to practise. They would like to get to know someone from a different cultural background.

Get-togethers
We regularly organise get-togethers where you can meet fellow Rotterdammers. You have a short chat with everyone. Afterwards you can choose someone you would like to go on outings with.

Three outings in three months
In the course of three months, you will go on three outings together. For example to a museum, the market or just for a coffee somewhere. Together with your fellow Rotterdammer, you will decide what to do and when.

Taking part is free
Taking part is free and you can receive a small allowance towards the trips. You will also get a discount on the Rotterdam pass.
