Networking for Internationals

Adjusting to life in a new country can be difficult at first, however it's important to know that you are seldom alone in your experiences as an international relocating to the Netherlands. There are more than 4 million people living in the Netherlands who are first or second-generation migrants, and, in many cities, you will find more than a hundred different nationalities living alongside one another. This means that there are many internationals around to socialise with, and they may share your experiences and be able to offer helpful advice as you settle into your new life here. However, although there may be a large number of internationals living in the Netherlands, it can be difficult at first to know where to begin meeting them.

Although social media platforms are often a good place to start, with many international events being shared across these platforms, as well as a plethora of international social media groups being available, there are also other ways to network with people in the Leiden region.
