Bridging the gap between academic theory & professional practice: that’s what the internship program of @SPARKorg as part of the Networks of Change project is about. 78 youth from Ranya, Chamchamal & Halabja are ready to start their journey within diverse companies! Good luck!

On May 5th, the Netherlands marks Liberation Day. We reflect on the end of the Second World War, and the fact that it enables us to live in freedom – while recognising that we must never take peace and freedom for granted.

On May 4th, the Netherlands commemorates all victims of war. We remember all – civilians and soldiers – who have been killed in the Kingdom of the Netherlands or anywhere in the world in war situations or during peacekeeping operations since the outbreak of the Second World War.

A milestone moment for one 🇳🇱 citizen & @NLinKRI! We held our first-ever naturalisation ceremony in Erbil today. With the 'declaration of solidarity,' our newest compatriot embraced the rights, freedoms, and duties of Dutch citizenship. A huge congrats & welcome to the Kingdom!
