As you know, many adventures of internationals are not without its challenges. A prominent challenge that internationals face is to adapt to their new surroundings when they do not know the language, have no social network and their spouse often does not have a job. These challenges are often overlooked, and the result is that many internationals begin to experience loneliness and unhappiness.

That is why the Eindhoven Library and Holland Expat Center South are organizing a Happiness Lounge during Dutch Happiness Week! During this event we will bring you into contact with organizations that can help you in your journey, to get a more meaningful and happier life in the Brainport Region!

Everyone is welcome! There is no charge to participate and registration is not required.
