The official opening of the Vestdijk as International Boulevard is a good occasion for a big celebration for the international community\u00a0of Eindhoven. On June 12 there will be three events in and around the VDMA: the international festival<\/a>, the I Am Not A Tourist event<\/a> and a get-together\u00a0of Expatriate Spouses Initiative<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Carmen Panos, herself originating from Spain, has the overview of the three planned events. On a map of the VDMA-complex she has pointed out all the activities, and the participants behind them. She emphasises that everybody is welcome\u00a0on June 12. “Of course this is a festival for\u00a0the internationals, but this is also a day on which\u00a0Eindhovenaren<\/em> can learn about their new neighbours.”<\/p>\n

The day begins with a parade that starts at\u00a0noon\u00a0from\u00a0the Frits Philips statue on the Markt. Via\u00a0Smalle Haven the parade will return to the Vestdijk – the international boulevard. <\/em>There, at the VDMA, the Expat Center and The Hub for Expats are located. “The place where expats and internationals feel at home.”<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a>The rest of the afternoon and evening there’s plenty of time and occasion to celebrate, through a combination of music, workshops and of course food and drinks from all\u00a0cultures. In the courtyard of the VDMA visitors can get a taste of all the\u00a0delights from countries like Spain, Italy, India, Venezuela and Mexico. Also, the international students from TU\/e will present themselves. The workshops are both serious and relaxed: focus is for example on the Dutch school system, but also on\u00a0crafts and drawing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
