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.
