Support via IWCN – for Parents and Employers

Moving to a new country or region can raise many questions – both for international families and for employers supporting international staff. That’s why the International School Fryslân works closely with the International Welcome Center North (IWCN).

The IWCN is the central contact point for internationals in the Northern Netherlands. Through www.iwcn.nl, they provide support in many areas:
