Do you enjoy expanding your world?

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

Become part of the Wageningen Buddy community!

🎉In addition to the contact with your buddy, we do all kinds of fun things with the group. So you are not alone! Buddy to Buddy organizes several activities that the buddy couples can enjoy together in an accessible way. At the end of each buddy trajectory, a festive closing is organized, which often marks the start of lasting friendships.

Are you available for 4 months?

📆 It is a low-threshold 4-month trajectory. There is a fixed group activity at Thuis Wageningen (Stationsstraat 32) approximately once a month. You can decide when and where you meet with your Buddy.

Sign up!
