New Start is a social initiative which focuses on integration, connecting and empowering people that come to the Netherlands. It's a language school, and so much more. Our course is a ‘one shop stop’ where you learn Dutch language as well as get to know Dutch society and culture. We take you on a journey, in which you learn how to operate in this new environment. We provide you with knowledge and tools to make a new start, to feel welcome in the Netherlands and to get in touch with anything Dutch. In addition to the language courses we are partnering with schools and social & governmental organisations to develop programs that can support the newcomers and contribute to their successful integration process in the Netherlands. New Start works closely together with its partner organization New in NL (check www.facebook.com/newinnl) Why we do this Making a new start in a foreign country can feel exciting and overwhelming at the same time.
