People learning Dutch find it easier to practice the language during their free time. That applies to children too, and songs are a great help in this case. Specially designed for children learning Dutch, de ReisRus and BOER! CDs include a booklet with games and exercises to go with the songs.

The Flemish municipalities of Tervuren, Zaventem and Hoeilaart are taking a brand new initiative to help expats feel at home in Flanders. These three municipalities will be promoting a unique reception policy through Expat op Pad, (www.expatoppad.be), a project tailored to newcomers.

Municipal elections are being held on 14 October 2018.
Both Belgians and non-Belgians may vote.

IMPORTANT !! Non-Belgians have to register before the first of August.

For anyone learning a language it is important to be able to practise it as well. Children whose mother tongue is not Dutch can use it during the school holidays in the different ‘de Rand’ community centres, where entertaining and instructive Dutch learning opportunities are provided. The varied programme of activities allows the children to immerse themselves in the Dutch language for a whole week.
