Welcome to the IWCE
A social club for international women living in and around Eindhoven
Living abroad is a life changing experience few people understand It’s easy to feel alone and hard to make friends. The IWCE connects international women and Dutch women who’ve lived abroad to foster community, friendship, and support.
For over 55 years, women have joined our social club to make new friends, feel less alone in a new place, practice English & Dutch, and to enjoy a community. Our membership ranges from recent arrivals to women who’ve lived here for decades. Let us introduce you to the rich cultural diversity this wonderful city has to offer.
Make Lasting Friendships
With other internationals and returning Dutch ladies you will learn, explore, and connect at our many events throughout the year.
Participate in our boutique workshops, guided excursions, guest speakers, and annual luncheons.
Adapt to the Netherlands
Moving to a new country is difficult, our members have all been in your shoes and know the challenges of being new.
Between our Area Representatives and Special Interest Groups we aim to answer new member questions and help you feel at home in the Netherlands.
