Welcome to the IWCE

A social club for international women living in and around Eindhoven

Living abroad is life-changing but can feel lonely. The IWCE connects international and Dutch women with overseas experience to build community and support. For 55+ years, we've helped women make friends, feel at home, and practice English & Dutch. Whether new or long-term residents, our members enjoy the city's rich cultural diversity.

Make Friends


Establish friendships with other members throughout the year:

  • Enjoy guest speakers during our monthly meetings
  • Learn together at member workshops
  • Explore nearby sights on group outings
  • Connect with other members in our WhatsApp community, and at our annual summer and winter luncheons

Adapt to the Netherlands


It's hard to move to a new country. Our members are from across the world, so we know the challenges of being new. Area Representatives are ready to answer new members' questions and help them feel at home.

Join a Special Interest Group for the perfect opportunity to enjoy activities together such as cooking, seeing live music, or getting coffee in the city.

Be Part of the Community


The IWCE regularly gives back to the local community. We organize fundraising through bake sales, raffles, and the annual Winter Market, and each year we donate to a charity chosen by member vote.


We also partner with area organizations and participate in events in and around Eindhoven.

"It's so much easier to feel integrated and at home with people sharing similar stories."

"Returning to the Netherlands was not so easy. I felt more like a 'world' citizen and the IWCE helped me to meet like-minded women."


Corina (Netherlands)
