WelnU is an organization entirely run by volunteers who provides Dutch language lessons for refugees. We believe that integration should start on the first day, and that’s not possible without language and social interactions People of all nationalities, with different backgrounds and levels, from illiterates to the ones who are already reasonably good at Dutch, get Dutch lessons from volunteers in small groups at WelnU. We work with a large number of volunteers. As a result of this, our lessons are personal and students can express their difficulties regarding Dutch easily. With our extensive lesson material and other resources students progress fast. From the beginning of 2015 we have been active in Utrecht. Firstly with language lessons in de former emergency shelter and now in restaurant Kantien and Buurtcentrum de Jager. Starting 2019 we are also starting the language lessons in Rotterdam in de Kaapse Maria with a new team and in Amsterdam and the Wereldhuis.
