Our Vision
Promising Future
At The New Dutchies, we dream of a world where the refugee experience becomes a springboard into a promising future, rather than a setback. Our vision is grounded in understanding, empathy, and respect for the journeys that newcomers have been through, and the resilience they’ve shown.
"Refugee" Is Not a Stigma
We aim to help newcomers jump-start their lives in the Netherlands by promoting balance, overcoming loneliness and depression, and challenging the stigma associated with the term “refugee”. We seek to change this narrative, shifting the focus towards opportunities for growth, self-development, and success.
Consultancy
On the consultancy front, our vision is to aid Dutch governmental entities and organizations in developing a more refined understanding of newcomers. We aspire to guide them in creating processes that are more seamless, less frustrating, and overall more beneficial for both them and the newcomers. We envision a shift in perspective where the camping period is viewed not as a challenge, but as an opportunity for newcomers to shape their paths towards successful integration.
At the heart of our vision lies the belief that those who have walked the path have a unique perspective and an invaluable contribution to make in the decision-making processes regarding newcomers. This belief drives us to involve newcomers themselves in our mission, further enhancing the efficacy of our strategies and our overall impact.
More Than ''Alive''
Our vision for The New Dutchies goes beyond service provision; we strive to illuminate the extraordinary potential within each newcomer, helping them transition from simply surviving to truly thriving. Through our efforts, we aim to transform the narrative surrounding refugee integration in the Netherlands, inspiring hope, fostering success, and building stronger, more diverse communities.
