The Exchange office welcomes you to LUC!

Location: Classroom 3.01

As a start to this exciting week and years to come at LUC we want you all to get comfortable with each other in a fun way! Coming together as a group with people you don’t know can be a challenge. Therefore, icebreaker games with your mentors serve to let your group have a fun time, while also creating shared experiences that you can bond over! Essential: icebreaking is teambuilding. Team-building with people that are becoming your neighbours, study partners, partners in crime, friends and family!

During the Walking Tour The Hague the mentor groups will walk past the important spots in The Hague that every LUC student should know. In a “scavenger hunt” style they will pass by useful places to get settled in The Hague. At the end, the mentees will get sent a document with a list of places that they visited during the tour including some fun extra places that were not specifically mentioned in the tour

From a river delta to a republic, from capitalism to progressive change, comedian and city tour guide Luuk van der Vaart will give a short, funny and meaningful history of the Netherlands.

Location: Auditorium

This session will be split into a session for internationals and people with previous Dutch experience. 

During these parallel sessions you'll find out what is typically Dutch culture or you'll find out what it means to be a Dutch student in an international programme. 

1) Going Dutch | The Netherlands: a cheese-loving and rainy country with its strangely tall inhabitants. And for some of you a brand new home that you have to get used to. Quite a challenge, and therefore we are here to help! Flirting in Dutch, music and oliebollen: "Going Dutch" will cover it all. 

Location: Auditorium

---------------------------------------------

2) Being Dutch | Joining an international environment like LUC is an exciting new adventure. Something very different from studying Rechtsgeleerdheid or Bouwkunde, with only Dutch students! We hope you are really excited to start this journey, but you might also be wondering what it will be like. Not to worry! In this session we will prepare you for what to expect as a Dutchie at LUC.

Location: Coasters on Floor 2

Get together with your mentor group.

The Airband Battle is a contest where everyone gets an opportunity to unleash their inner star! Every mentor group will showcase their dancing and lip-syncing skills to different beats in some fun costumes.

In this session you will be introduced to The Learning Mindset, LUC’s award-winning educational innovation team.
