International Interns & Trainees Day
Last week, the Swedish Chamber hosted a Nordic Intern and Trainee Day in Amsterdam. Interns and Trainees from the Nordic Embassies and Chambers joined us for an eventful afternoon at the Swedish Chamber office. We had the opportunity to get to know each other and our organizations better, all while enjoying a fika. During the fika, we engaged in an interesting discussion about business culture connected to the similarities and differences we as Nordic expats have experienced when moving to the Netherlands and starting to work in a new environment.
Thereafter, the group left the Swedish Chamber office to go to Amsterdam city center to go for a Stromma Pizza Cruise by the canal. The Swedish Chamber extends heartfelt gratitude to Swedish Chamber member Stromma for facilitating such a fantastic canal boat trip for us and the other Nordic Interns and Trainees.
Lastly, we also want to thank all the Nordic Interns and Trainees who participated in the Intern and Trainee Day at the Swedish Chamber! We look forward to welcoming you back to Amsterdam soon.
