Premiere episode of Expaterience — talk show made for and by expats/internationals in The Hague region
As the name suggests, Expaterience will focus on everyday experiences of expats/internationals living in Greater The Hague, on their successes as well as the challenges they may encounter in their personal and professional lives abroad, while we also strive to bring curious minds, thought leaders and multi-cultural professionals together to articulate some of the pressing issues of our times.
In this very first episode, our distinguished panel unpacks the criticality and role of volunteering as a catalyst or mechanism for smoother integration of global citizens and the host society for collective prosperity.
