INTNL’ INT NL’ NEEDs NEEDs Dutch Maybe we are speaking about a COMMON set of needs. There ìs no such thing as the needs of the students from NL or those of Int. students … ‘cause they$ are on the same side of the balance, aiming in the same direction. So what we should do is STOP weighing them and START bridging them. And here was our VISION: “Create a bridge between the Dutch and International Students at TU Delft”.

HoW? And then came a very tricky questi: “How can we do that?”
