Week of the International Experience 2025
Every November
Nuffic (the Dutch organization for the internationalization of education) creates a unique opportunity for both international and Dutch students to come together and celebrate the diversity of the international community. The Week of the International Experience (WotIE) connects Dutch and international students, introducing them to global experiences. This year, WotIE takes place from Monday, November 17 to Friday, November 21. Fontys is proud to be part of the Week of the International Student, and our various institutes have organised activities for students to join between 13 and 17 November. Below you’ll find some of the highlights to look forward to.
