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
