    Voting in the Netherlands

    “Voting is not only our right but our duty as well”. This saying goes a long way as it explains to us that we have responsibilities as residents of the city and as citizens of the country. To make your vote count, it is important to make an informed decision and recognise the different issues that are addressed by different parties.


    As an expat, do you wonder whether you can vote or not? How does the city council work, how can you choose your local politician? Why is it important to vote in the Municipal Council Elections?


    Miriam and Elena will answer to this and many more questions during the online presentation on Wednesday 23 February, at 13:30. 


    More details can be found in the email invite that was sent to all IWCE members.


    The presenters, Miriam Frosi and Elena Digirolamo:

    Elena Digirolamo

    Miriam Frosi was born in Milan, Italy. In 2001, she moved to Eindhoven where she lives with her husband and her sons. She is an innovation manager at the ministery of Infrastructure and councilor for the CDA party in Eindhoven. She is a networker and loves being and listening to the
    people, she has always been curious to meet and learn from other cultures.


    More and more Internationals (expats, students, immigrants or refugees) are coming to live in our city. Miriam's platform, the International digital cafe feel home in Eindhoven, gives (new) citizens an informal meeting place.
    In this way we can make our city more nicer and improve social cohesion, connecting locals to Internationals.

    Elena Digirolamo was born in Milan, Italy, ametropolis, just like Eindhoven.


    She moved to Eindhoven in 2002, to start a life with her Dutch husband. After 20 years she still enjoys the living in this expanding city. Elena has been very active in the international community for the last 10 years. She has a technical
    background (mater in Physics) and a broad experience in small and large businesses. In the last years she focussed on coaching and personal development.


    Since 2017 she is politically active for the local chapter of a national party. She thinks it is her duty to contribute on local topics.
