Social groups

Get in Touch for internationals is a social support program for spouses of international knowledge workers.

Ever since its initiation, GiT has grown into a broad service for international spouses from TU/e and other companies. It offers weekly meetings that consist of trips & tours to museums, parks, spice shops, secondhand markets, library, and other useful places. Besides, there are also workshops about various themes, presentations by the spouses themselves and celebrations of traditional or newer Dutch festivities. In addition, there is also weekly English Conversation Meetups to boost English language.

The closed Facebook and WhatsApp Group of the Get in Touch (GiT) Family, appears to be an important platform for spouses and others involved in the Get in Touch Program, to share experiences, call for new activities, post useful information and keep in touch with each other.
