Buddy Programme sign up to have or to be a buddy

8 October 2019

Radboud's Buddy Programme seeks to facilitate an easy transition for new incoming staff into life in the Netherlands. By being a social point of reference, a buddy plays a key role in helping a newcomer feel at home and welcomed into our community. The buddy may invite the new colleague for cup of coffee, a tour around Nijmegen or show them the social and cultural habits of our country.

Would you like to participate?
All interested staff at Radboud University and Radboudumc can register to receive a buddy as newcomer or volunteer to be a buddy to incoming staff. Both internationals as Dutch nationals are welcome to sign up.

Buddies will be connected to a newcomer for a period of three months but are of course free to stay in touch after the programme. Various social events will be organized by International Staff Support where buddy couples can take part in. If you wish to sign up as a newcomer or as a volunteer, please visit the website for more information or to sign up easily. 

Take your chance today to broaden your horizons! Questions? Don’t hesitate to contact us via Buddyprogramme@dpo.ru.nl
