‘It’s not easy to get in touch with locals when you’re new to a country. But I try to meet people and get to know the Netherlands better. The Welcome app is an easy way to get in touch with locals.’
– Ahmed
‘I had no idea what a Dutch job interview is like. It helps to be able to contact a Dutch person. Small practical things are suddenly much clearer, like the kinds of clothes people usually wear for interviews.’
– Bahlabi
‘I see a bright future for us in this country. I’m in touch with my neighbours and my language coach, and through the Welcome App, I go to lunches with locals and an event every now and then. Oh, and I attend a ballet school in Amsterdam!’
– Ayla.
