NOB – Dutch Education Worldwide Launches Webinar Series

Voorburg, The Netherlands, October 1, 2012
NOB – Dutch Education Worldwide launches a webinar series targeting administrative boards and educational staff of Dutch schools abroad.  Built upon a Webvent standard community site, NOB sponsors free educational webinars to increase the quality of Dutch education abroad, and to exchange, collaborate, and learn from each other by sharing best practices between schools.

NOB invites NTC (“Dutch Language & Culture”) schools from all over the world to attend these webinars.  NOB typically runs each webinar twice, at different times, to meet the schedules of its global audience.  Anyone interested in hosting a webinar, or who has a suggestion for a topic, should contact Ingeborg Van Rooij.

About NOB
Thousands of Dutch children spend part of their childhood abroad.  When they return to the Netherlands, they (re-)enter the Dutch education system at anywhere from primary school to university level. The Foundation for Dutch Education Worldwide (Stichting Nederlands Onderwijs in het Buitenland, or NOB) is a non-profit organization that has been facilitating their smooth transition into the Dutch education system since 1980.  The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science has commissioned NOB to promote and support high standards of Dutch education for Dutch-speaking children around the world.
