IamExpat Fair Amsterdam 2023 - Workshop Programme

The IamExpat Fair is an international one-day event designed to support the expat community in the Netherlands. Take advantage of our wide range of workshops to learn more about housing, career, education, health & leisure and more.

Being an expat working in the Netherlands can be confusing. Are they being rude, or just direct? What about the Dutch ‘flat hierarchy’, which sometimes appears to be not so flat at all? And how does the Dutch decision-making process (The Polder Model) work, where everyone is asked for their input and opinion in meetings? Understanding how the Dutch communicate and behave is essential when working and living in the Netherlands and Language Partners is familiar with the challenges faced by expats. In this workshop, they will discuss the differences in communication styles between different cultures and the Dutch. On top of that, they’ll advise how you can learn to adjust your communication and presentation style to various cultural settings.Language Partners offers business language training in 52 languages and intercultural communication courses, either in-company or at one of their offices throughout the Netherlands and Europe.
