Social & Cultural activities
ISN offers a wide range of social and cultural activities to help connect students.
Let us introduce ourselves
International Student Network Amsterdam is a student-run organization dedicated to helping international students studying at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) make the most of their stay in the Netherlands. ISN is part of the Erasmus Student Network (ESN); an organization, with 524 sections in 39 countries, that makes sure you are going to have the time of your life studying abroad.
The aim of ISN is to help foster student mobility through optimizing the social and cultural integration of international students in Amsterdam. We try to achieve this by organizing introduction days, parties, weekend trips, excursions and other cultural activities. We also promote contact with Dutch students by our buddy and coach system. Fundings for the organization are provided by the UvA and AUAS together. This enables us to provide low-priced activities. Members of the UvA and AUAS also provide the organization with supervision and support.
Every year about 2500 international students join ISN Amsterdam. Not just for the reasons mentioned above, but also because it’s the best way to meet fellow international students. To become a member of ISN Amsterdam, the only thing you need to do is obtain your ESN card for just 10 euros. With this card you will be able to join all our activities and get various discounts. Also, you can subscribe for our weekly newsletter to keep updated!
For any questions email info@isn-amsterdam.nl or just come by the office! Our office (Crea, Nieuwe Achtergracht 170, room 1.15) is open on Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 1 and 5 pm. You are always welcome to stop by if you want to subscribe for activities or if you have any questions!
