Working with the Netherlands on this semester showed me that is really important to make a deep research about the cultural differences between the team group in order to have a better communication and better results.
I really enjoyed working on this course on something completely different because I feel a little more ready to be working on a multicultural group.
Thank you all for this experience!

Before this experience I didn’t have a clear vision about the ways of europeans of getting the stuff done. I think it was the same both ways and that at the end we learned how to overcome our differences and doing assignment.

The difference between hours, the language barrier, our school systems, the subjects were part of the challenge. I’m personally happy because this experiences helped me to decide doing an exchange at TU Delft.

Met vriendelijke groeten!

It was a very different experience that we lived in this course. You do not always have the opportunity to interact with people from different countries. It was very interesting to see the way they work on the other side of the world, to analyze the different study techniques and the ability to work as a team regardless of distance.

After working with our colleagues from the Netherlands I realized how important communication is during a group project. I really liked the idea of working with someone abroad since we had the opportunity to learn from a new culture and listened to different opinions. I have to accept that sometimes communication was an obstacle since our time zones were completely different. Overall I learned a lot from this project and I can say that I improved my team work skills.

Hi everyone, we have finished this semester. Working with students from another country was challenging, which is understandable since we all have diffferent methods and schedules! But I had fun, it was something different that broke the routine a little bit. Best of luck on your next semester.

I've always known that working with someone halfway around the world would be a challenge, but I had no true grasp of how difficult it would be. Nevertheless it was an interesting and fun experience that will aide in my life whenever I have colleagues in another contitnent. I had a lot of fun with my dutch workmates and hope that we still keep in touch from time to time.
I'll be leaving for Germany soon and I'm sure that my experience in these activities will be quite useful.
I'd like to thank my team and the teachers for making this activity possible.

# data[].attributes.body
After this semester of working in various activities with people from Netherlands, I could realize that although we have a lot of differences, we can also take team work forward and with the best dispositions from both parties.
It was great and very enriching to be able to analyze the way in which each person and each country works in its own way.
I think it is a very good activity, although a bit tedious because of the schedules that each country handles, but within what fits it was a very good experience and I'm leaving, I feel, with very good friendships.
Thanks for everything to the teacher and my team.

After the experience of having a teamwork with cultural diversity members was a huge challenge for me because the time difference and the different way of working as the structure of projects and other cultural things, but I truly loved and it was so fun to work with my netherlands teammates because we all tried to give the best for the team and know more of the other culture by pictures or maybe with an text message of explanation about any culture aspect for the other one and vice versa, like stroopwafels (also I really enjoy them) or Sinterklaas; participating in a COIL experience is a big opportunity to know more about how to organize yourself and the team in the best way possible for everyone while knowing more about the cultural diversity around the world.

After this semester, and working with the Netherland students, i thought it was great despite of our diferences, like time, and cultural aspects. I learned a lot about their culture through the different activities we realized throughout the semester. I loved working with them, getting to know them, and having a new intercultural experience even though it was online. Thank you.

After working with people from other country I learned about team work with cultural differences. Specifically I learned how to have a great communication with my team members so the final project could work and be as great as possible. Also, I learned about responsibility and time organization to get things done in time. In general, I think this was a really great experience to have an introduction of what it will be like to live in another country for a while and working with people from other cultures.

It was a really great experience to have the opportunity to work with people from another country, we have some issue to get in touch because of the time zones but we resolve that issue thanks to the technology we have and the internet it was easier to work to get her. Also we use different platforms to do our school work so we have to create our on method in these case we use drop box to share our work, we learn a lot form each other I will not have a problem if we have to do it again.

After having this experience with Netherlands students, I learned that knowing how to handle teamwork is very important. I learned several things about their culture the first time we talked via video call, that I didn’t knew before. It was interesting getting to know classmates from a long distance from us. When working on the project, in my opinion it was difficult trying to communicate because of the time zone. Some days we couldn’t get the attention from them at the time we needed, and vice versa. Despite of that little problem, I think it was a fun experience and many good things came afterwards. It’s a good activity to have the opportunity to share your cultural stereotypes with students from around the world in such a simple way, like video call or just from WhatsApp. I would like to say to my partners that if you have the chance to visit México do it, it’s quite a very unique and beautiful country were you would learn many things, get to know the culture, make friends very easily and submerge in our traditions.

Hallo Everyone,
My name is Shivali Gupta. Underneath you will find a vlog about me and the answer to my question.
Question: What do u think about Brexit?
First I will give you a short background story on Brexit. Brexit is a term used to describe the event of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union. The referendum of Brexit took place on the 23rd of June in 2016. The United Kingdom held the Brexit referendum due to a series of crises that shook the British confidence in the European Union.

For me, Brexit has only caused a disadvantage. Because, since the United Kingdom will potentially lose the tariff-free trade status with other EU members. The British companies I place orders at will increase their prices due to the high import and export prices as a non-EU member.

Hello guys,
My name is Hemmie Elgazzar and I am 27 years old. I live in Scheveningen, near a very populair beach in the Netherlands. I study Facility Managemnet because I like the hospitality part of the study.

My question was: Which national festive day do you like most?

I chose Christmas. Because that is the time of the year I spend a few days in a row with my friends and family. With a group of friends we visit our parents and have dinner with them. Sometimes we give eachother presents, but for me that is not what that christmas is about. It is about having fun and good company!

# data[].attributes.body
Hello everybody! My name is Frederique Cooijmans. I’m a twenty-one-year-old student and I’m living in the Netherlands. I study at the Hague University of applied sciences. The bachelor programme in Facility Management. The second class. My hobby is tennis and I like to travel. The picture below is with my sister.

My question is: What do you think about migration? Should Europe accept more refugees?

My answer to that question is:
I think It is good to help refugees to give them a better future, but it is not the intention that all people with problems flights from their own country. I think It is important to help only refugees who are threatened by war and oppression. Compassion, solidarity, respect for needy are vital. International agreements clearly commit European governments to respect and protect refugees. Europe have to protect families threated by war.

On the other hand, Europe is full. Our social services, housing departments, health systems and schools can’t cope with it any more. Furthermore, One day, peace will return to the nations whose citizens are fleeing war and oppression. The more refugees become settled down far from their homelands, the less likely they will go back.

Hi everyone! My name is Kim Fakkel, 24 years old and I live in Leiden. I study Facility Management but before this I worked around 4,5 years at a big department store here in The Netherlands. The question I got was: Which are the most important traditions in your country and explain if people still keeping that traditions in actual times? Well we have Sinterklaas, it’s kinda the same as Santaclaus but this is only for the Netherlands and it’s only 1 day. Unfortunately, this tradition isn’t the same as it used to be because there is a discussion going on about the people who help sinterklaas, they are called zwarte pieten which means that they face paint the people black. Black people feel discriminated because of the black color. But they only do this because the zwarte pieten go into the chimney to deliver the presents. So now instead of black people, we have colored people or people with black stripes instead of all black. Next to that we have kingsday, when we celebrate the kings birthday and we have the fifth of May, when we celebrate freedom! These traditions are pretty much the same as they were ten years ago.

Hi my name is Maaike van der Werf, and I am 18 years old. I participate this project because I want to get to know the Mexican culture, and I want to improve my English skills. I study Facility Management at The Hague University of Applied Sciences. The question from Sofia I am going to answer is: what are the 5 most popular tracks today and witch song represent your country? The most popular track right now is Zoutelanden from Blof. Blof is a Dutch and Dutch-singing pop group. Other popular tracks are god’s plan from drake, homesike from dua lipa, blijf bij mij from Ronnie Flex and River from Ed Sheeran. So, it is a mix from Dutch and international singers. The most important song that is representing our country is in my opinion the national anthem. This song is played by important sport games like international football matches but also at official events like king’s day. With King's Day we celebrate the birthday of our king. We celebrated this with various activities, including music events and the people are wearing orange clothing. See the link below for my vlog.

Hi guys! My name is Nadine and just as all the other Dutch students I study Facility Management in The Hague. My question was what I do in the weekends, well it kind of depends what I’ve got planned. Usually I work on the Saturdays in a restaurant and on Sunday’s I visit my grandparents, do some homework or I sheer my old soccer team to a win :). On Thursday there is what they call ‘student night’ simply that means that students go out often on this day, theoretically I don’t think it happens much anymore. If I speak for myself I usually go out on Friday/Saturday nights, the picture below is not while going out, but just me in Berlin after tast some different beers with a friend on the other side of the camera, I couldn’t find a picture with full glasses.. Sorry!  Oh and in my small vlog you can learn a little bit more about me:) https://youtu.be/HxKcLJb4r9M

Hi everyone! My name is Fleur Stilma and I am twenty years old right now. Just like the other Dutch students, I study Facility Management at The Hague University of Applied Sciences. The question I am going to answer is: What hobbies are most popular in your culture? My personal answer is: Soccer. Almost every village or city in the Netherlands has an soccer club. I also have played soccer for six years when I was younger. I played soccer on the field and indoor. Unfortunately I quit soccer because we didn’t had enough players anymore so the team stopped. Luckily, I still play sometimes soccer tournament with my friends just for fun! Here below you can see an old picture of my indoor soccer team.

My name is Jaylon Putman and I’m 19 years old. I study Facility Management at The Hague University of Applied Sciences and now I’m in the second class of the education. The question I am going to answer is: ‘’What does your country’s flag symbolize to most of your culture?’’.  As you may know, the Dutch flag is from the red, white and blue. This flag symbolize the country. But the colours have also a symbolic meaning. The Red would stand for the people, the white for the Church and the blue for the nobility. The people because Netherlands is a democracy and they have a lot of public participation.

The church because there are many religions in our country and any religion has his own church.  The last one, the nobility, I don’t know. I think it is because of our history.
Further meaning behind the color white and blue is tricky to figure out. The flag is of course also created centuries ago, so that's understandable. See the link below in which I briefly introduce myself.

Hi this is Stephanie, I´m 22, I am studying Business Management Engineering, to answer to your question about if we have student clubs. Yes we do, we actually have a Leadership center on the university and it has 3 classifications: student government, student associates, and student organizations. These center is in charge to impulse the student participation inside the university and they do all type of activities. Because we have students from different cities of Mexico, on the student organizations there are groups that represent different states of the country and they are in charge to promote activities and the integration of the students of same states. And inside the student government there are students societies that represent each major, and they are in charge to promote visit to different businesses as well as activities to have a good time. There is always something to do.

My name is Dylan van der Heiden and I’m 20 years old. I study Facility Management at The Hague University of Applied Sciences and now I’m in the second class of the education. The question I am going to answer is: ‘’What do I appreciate or value most from my culture?’’.  In Netherlands live people with different origins and cultures. I appreciate that I live in a country where people lives with different cultures. Because in the Netherlands people live with different cultures I learn more about other cultures, I like this very much! I appreciate that the most of the people in the Netherlands respect the other cultures and beliefs from the different peoples in the country. It is nice to live in a multicultural country like the Netherlands. During travels you will learn other cultures, and of course I love travel :). In the following pictures, I was on vacation in Turkey, France, Spain and New York. See the link below in which I briefly introduce myself. https://youtu.be/PCI0VkHWwvM

My name is Rosalie Schwing and I’m 19 years old. I study, just as all the other dutch students, Facility Management. The question I am going to answer is: “Whats your favorite holiday or tradition? And How do you celebrate it?”. My answer to that question is: Christmas. Every person in Holland has their own traditions with Christmas, so I can only answer for myself. With Christmas we always have a fake christmas tree, because a real one gives to much rubbish says my mom 😉. My mom is also the one who decorates it, because she wants it to look perfect. I always celebrate these christmas days with my family: the first christmas day with my parents, my sisters and my brother-in-law and boxing day with my whole family (cousins, aunts, uncles and grandma) at my grandma’s house. There’s always a lot of food and we all bring something for diner. Christmas is my favourite holiday, because my family means a lot to me and it’s always very cozy on these days. The photo below is from last Christmas with my cousin, my sister and a real Christmas tree (we were with my grandmother back then 😉).
