Summary

👥💬 Experience the power of connection and become a Buddy to a Newcomer! Buddy to Buddy starts again in February with a new matching round in Wageningen.

Detailed description

Do you enjoy expanding your world?

👯 The concept is simple: by connecting newcomers with fellow citizens who share similar interests, connections are made that might not otherwise be made. The goal is to create a welcoming environment where both newcomers and Wageningen residents can learn from each other.


Become part of the Wageningen Buddy community!

🎉Besides connecting with your buddy, we'll all do fun things together as a group. So you're not alone! Buddy to Buddy organizes several activities that buddy pairs can enjoy together in an accessible way. At the end of each buddy journey, there's a celebratory closing ceremony, which often marks the beginning of lasting friendships.


Are you available for 4 months?

📆 It's an accessible, 4-month program. There are regular group activities at Thuis Wageningen (Stationsstraat 32) approximately once a month. You decide when and where you meet with your Buddy.


Sign up!
