Practicing Dutch doesn't have to be boring: just come to our cinema!

• Every first or second sunday of each month we show a new movie with Dutch language and subtitles.
• After the movie, there is a fun activity related to the theme of the movie. This way we practice the words we just learned.

This is no school: we mainly have fun!

For whom?

• The Film Club is for children 8 years and older who already speak a little or very good Dutch.
• Adults can also watch the film.
• During the children's workshops, adults receive a free drink (included in the admission price).

Is Dutch not your children’s mother tongue? Do you want them to learn and practice Dutch? Enroll your children in fun activities in Dutch. These are not language lessons.

Looking for materials to practice Dutch? Come to the community center or visit the Language Point in the library.

In our community center you will find many activities in Dutch. Are you learning Dutch? You can definitely participate. Use the explanation by the language icons to choose an activity.
