The Netherlands in a Nutshell: A Masterclass for Expats at Moychay Amsterdam

Date: 31st of May 2025 | Time: 17:00 - 20:00 | Location: Moychay, Amsterdam

If you've recently moved to the Netherlands and are still trying to make sense of Dutch habits, public transport, or why your neighbors never close their curtains — you're not alone. And you're warmly invited to join a special masterclass designed just for you.


Learn While You Sip

As you settle in with a warm cup of carefully selected tea (served by the Moychay team), you'll dive into an interactive session full of eye-openers, light-hearted moments, and practical tips. It’s not a dry lecture — it’s an experience. With quizzes, real-life cases, group discussions and even a few surprising facts, you’ll walk away not only informed but truly connected to your new home.


What Will You Learn?

This masterclass gives you the tools to understand:

  • Dutch norms, values & everyday behavior

  • How to navigate traffic and public transport (without losing your mind)

  • Work culture, housing, and your rights & responsibilities as a resident

  • A compact overview of Dutch history, food and geography

  • And those "Oh THAT’s why they do that!" cultural quirks


Who’s It For?

  • New expats & international arrivals

  • Partners of Dutch citizens or internationals

  • Anyone looking to better understand the country they now call home

  • Curious minds ready to laugh, learn and connect

The setting is just as special as the content. Moychay is more than a teahouse — it’s a calm, cozy place where cultures meet. Located in the heart of Amsterdam, it’s the perfect environment to learn, reflect, and enjoy good conversation (and great tea).
