Migrant Workers Community Tilburg

WE COUNT

As migrant workers we want to be treated the same as any other resident of our city. We want and deserve to be a member of Tilburg Society, with a good home, and a decent job.

Get in touch

Community

We are a group of migrant workers, who like to meet new people and get together to exchange experiences and have a good time. Whether you are new here or you've already been in the Netherlands for some time, you are welcome to join us and be part of our community.

Knowledge

Building a life in a different country means getting to know a new way of life, a different set of rules and rights and probably facing language barriers. We have the tools and knowledge to help you find your way in the Netherlands. We have in-house experience on housing, healthcare, interacting with the government and so on. We are powered by the biggest trade union in the Netherlands. We can inform and advise you on all sorts of topics regarding working and living in the Netherlands.

Change

Change does not come out of the blue. By working together we organize influence on the policies that matter! Migrant Workers Community Tilburg stands up together for change regarding housing, social integration, workers rights, dealing with stereotypes, and so on...

Who we are and why we joined...

Hugo

My name is Hugo and I’m 45. My career was in hospitality and horeca, but the corona virus changed all this. I had the opportunity to migrate to the Netherlands to live, and work in logistics. The virus went but I stayed. My daughter is 20 years old, I brought her here to live with me so she could see that life is better here. A lot can be better and we will play our role to achieve the needed change!

Fernando

My name is Fernando and I'm Portuguese. I'm living in the Netherlands since August 2022. I came here with the biggest illusion to chase new experiences and new goals. Instead of that I found out myself living in inhuman conditions. In another country, almost 2 hours from work... that's why I decided to join FNV, to make sure others don't go through the same situations that I did and be able to help others expats.

Leona

I am Leona, Romanian, 44, living in the Netherlands with my family for 6 years. First, my husband came for work, later we decided to move after researching Dutch education. We adapted smoothly, aided by supportive locals who acquainted us with the Dutch system. I'm eager to join this project, valuing open communication and teamwork. I'm sociable, organized, and passionate about contributing to positive change alongside like-minded people.
