We are now live in another municipality! In addition to Leiden, Venlo, and Dordrecht, Welcome app is now also active in Almere. Together with the municipalities, local organizations, and app users, we have built a platform where newcomers are offered a motivating space to gradually build a new life. This way, they can form a connection with each other, with locals, and with this new country.
Together with municipalities and hundreds of fantastic initiatives in the Netherlands, we offer newcomers a motivating place to build a new life step by step. One place where you book activities, find connections, ask questions and have relevant information at your fingertips. One place where you can go if you have fled and want to find your place in a new place in a new country.
Together we offer newcomers a warm welcome and we ensure that newcomers feel a little more at home. The app can be downloaded (free) for newcomers, organizations/initiatives and locals.
The app has an extensive range of activities from various (local) organizations. These activities are divided into fourteen categories, varying from language, Dutch culture and music, to children’s activities and art. Newcomers and locals can easily book and attend activities.
The app has a chat function where newcomers and locals can communicate with each other. Newcomers can ask questions and locals have the opportunity to comment and start a conversation.
A chat with experts for more complex questions asked by newcomers. Our team is ready to answer these questions and provide support.
The app can be translated into nine different languages, so that we can reach and support a broad group of newcomers.
Hooray, happy days! Since you live in one of these cities, you can download Welcome app and start using it optimally.
