Invitation Open Doors events – Embassy

of the Netherlands in Helsinki 13.-14.11.

Because of the 100 year relations between Finland and the Netherlands, we organize Open Doors events at our historical wooden Residence ‘Villa Kleineh’ in Kaivopuisto.

We offer an interesting program of 75 minutes, in which we show people around the beautiful house and tell about the history of our relation with Finland and the work of an Embassy (see invitation).

The events take place on 13 & 14 November and are free of charge. I believe it is a very interesting and unique experience for students, especially because embassies rarely open their doors to the public. I would appreciate it if you could send the invitation forward to your members of the student community at Aalto University.

In case you would like to come as a group, we can also arrange a suitable time for this. Please let me know if you have any further questions about the event.

Note that we have limited seats and students need to register via this link: https://opendoorsnl.eventbrite.com
