New in town

Do you feel lonely sometimes? Or is it exciting to start from scratch somewhere else? Is it easy to get in touch with others and the neighbors? Easy to make new friends? How to find nice activities and hobbies in town? Share your newcomer experiences in this online dialogue and get inspired by the stories of others.

What is a dialogue?

A dialogue is an open conversation about experiences, dreams and possibilities. In a dialogue you really enter into a conversation with each other and you meet people you do not normally meet. Everyone is invited to share his/her story and everyone is heard. A dialogue contributes to mutual understanding, connection and insight.

Since the corona crisis, we have been talking online so that everyone can participate at a safe distance. We use Zoom for the online conversations. You can sign up for a dialogue via the red button at the top of the page. You will then receive an email with a login link and password that will give you access to the Zoom room where the dialogue takes place.
