“We worden steeds internationaler”

Expats brengen nieuwe ideeën en frisse energie mee. Maar ze staan ook voor uitdagingen. Een nieuw land, een andere cultuur, onbekende werkgewoontes – en dan ook nog een sociaal leven opbouwen.  Om ervaringen uit te wisselen en sociale contacten op te doen, is een expat community opgericht. Geen formele club, maar een plek waar internationale collega’s elkaar ontmoeten: tijdens de lunch, bij een borrel of gewoon voor een goed gesprek.  We spraken drie van hen over hun ervaringen: hoe was het om in Nederland te landen? Wat valt op aan de werkcultuur hier? En wat betekent het om onderdeel te zijn van die community?
