DIS2007
11 Feb 2008
The Day of the International Student 2007 (DIS2007), which Nuffic hosted on Saturday 27 October 2007, was attended by at least 1,700 students.
The venue was the World Forum Convention Centre in The Hague, and the guests came from all corners of the country.
Before the main event at the World Forum Convention Center, the students went on excursions to some of The Hague’s top attractions: Madurodam miniature park, the famous Gemeentemuseum and Panorama Mesdag.
The afternoon programme included some useful workshops and seminars, but also some fun cultural activities. Fun was, after all, the central theme of the DIS. Workshops ranged from discussions of Dutch culture and applying for jobs internationally, to clog painting and Brazilian dance.
The sponsors had booths at the information market, where they met the students and gave advice about studying in Holland, scholarships and alumni associations. StudentBase, Nuffic’s online community for students, alumni and anyone considering studying in the Netherlands, was launched at the event’s own internet cafe. Everyone who created a StudentBase profile on the day was entered into a prize draw and one lucky student was the winner of a notebook PC.
The day closed with a big party event featuring the DJBus and the eclectic band R.O.O.O.M. with lead singer Romagna Sasabone.
