Theme show Expaterience on expats living in The Hague on Saturday, June 21

Episode #2 of unrivaled media project will examine connections between international and local The Hague communities

The Hague: Thursday, June 19, 2025

After the successful launch of Expaterience at the end of last month, RTV Discus will be airing the next episode of this unique English-language TV show for The Hague region on Saturday 21 June.

Central theme of this second edition is ‘Expats & locals: The Hague Connection’.

In this episode, the focus will be on organizations aiming to support expats/internationals in The Hague region as well as on people who have settled in The Hague from abroad, while the opportunities offered to expats/internationals, to quickly and easily find their way in The Hague society and to connect with local organizations outside of their work, will be discussed in more detail.

Guest line-up of episode #2 – ‘Expats & locals: The Hague Connection’:

• Sarah Feid, Account Manager, The Hague International Centre
• Deborah Valentine, Executive Director, ACCESS
• Daria Lysenko, Poet, Writer, Art Historian, Cultural Manager
• Begimai Sataeva, Public Affairs, international organization

Completing this episode’s on-air team, joining Alex MacDonald (host), are Nicoletta Pisanu (Expaterience News anchor) and Anupama Srivastava (stand-up comedy/opinion contributor).

Expaterience is the first English-language TV program and online & social media presence produced by RTV Discus, the community access public service TV producer in The Hague region, for almost thirty years.

Aptly titled Expaterience, the show will focus exclusively on everyday experiences of expats living in Greater The Hague, on their successes as well as the challenges they may encounter in their personal and professional lives abroad.

Expaterience is an expansion of RTV Discus’ current line-up, signifying its third TV production, alongside the long-standing Dutch-language programs: social issues talk show, Zaterdag Live, and current affairs news magazine, Escampjournaal.
