Dutch- Persian workshop
Dutch–Persian Cultural Workshop
Bridge the Gap, Celebrate the Culture!
Are you new to the Netherlands and eager to integrate more smoothly into society?
Or have you been here a while and still find some cultural “rules” a little tricky?
Maybe you’re Dutch and just met a Persian family through friends, neighbors, or even love—
but you’re unsure how to connect on a deeper level?
Whether you’re Persian or Dutch, this workshop is your chance to explore both cultures in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
In this English-language course, we’ll dive into everyday behaviors, unwritten cultural norms, and festive traditions—helping you feel more confident, connected, and culturally aware.
Taught by two native instructors—one Dutch and one Persian—this course offers real-life perspectives, humor, and meaningful insights.
You’ll learn about:
Social dos & don’ts in Dutch and Persian cultures
How to navigate cultural differences with ease
Celebrations, etiquette, and communication styles
And much more!
Join us and make cross-cultural connection a joy—not a mystery!
