Leeuwarden’s Walking Club

Registration is required by Sunday 9:00 am.

Walking is one of the most natural, easy, comfortable and safe ways to exercise the body. Taking a conscious walk brings great benefits to our physical, mental, emotional and energetic health. We invite you to be part of our Walking Club in Leeuwarden, every Tuesday at 19:30 hrs, for 1-1,5 hours. Accompanied by our volunteers we will walk through different parks and green areas of Leeuwarden.

In addition to giving you a healthy practice, it is also a way to socialize, enjoy and get to know beautiful places in our city and province.

Who can join: Anyone 21+ that would like to walk with the Connect International community. This walking club is for all levels of walkers – from the beginner to the fast and experienced. If you have health concerns, it is advised to see your health care practitioner (Huisarts) before starting.

Cost: Free for Connect International members | €5/session (week).

Non-members are welcome to attend their first in-person or online event/activity for free and can then choose whether to become a member or continue to pay the non-member price per activity/event (€5.00 per activity/event). The investment in the membership is only €25.00 per year and provides free access to most of our events, clubs and other benefits (for membership details, please click here: https://www.connect-int.org/members-area/).

“I came to live here in Leeuwarden approximately 2 years ago. I had heard about Connect International while I was following a Dutch language course at Groningen University. I made use of the excellent helpdesk at the Groningen office. As a British National I wanted to clarify some issues regarding my status post Brexit!. Within hours the Connect office had contacted the Dutch Immigration Office and reassured me about my situation. Sadly because I live in Leeuwarden I did not make use of the social elements of Connect which took place mainly in Groningen. So when I learned about the Leeuwarden branch I immediately began attending the Friday and Sunday coffee mornings. These provide a great opportunity to meet other newcomers and to share information and the occasional worry. Everyone is made to feel welcome and discussions range free and wide. I have got to know a range of interesting and friendly people from all over the world, via Connect International Leeuwarden. I have also learnt about many of the social and cultural activities taking place in this great town. If you have recently come to live in Friesland, I can recommend Connect International Leeuwarden as a terrific means of quickly settling in and getting to know a range of people who can offer support and advice.”

"There I was, sat in my Dutch house, after having fetched my children from their Dutch school, waiting for my Dutch husband to come home, feeling very integrated. And yet... Wouldn’t it be lovely to meet some other expats, speak English again, not feel so foreign, even just now and then? A quick internet search led me straight to Connect International. After a few false starts, I made it to a Connect Coffee Morning in Groningen. I received a warm welcome and was delighted to hear there was a Book Club, right here on my doorstep! We discuss the books in English, the discussions can become lively and are always interesting, and it is a good place to share our expat experiences too."

"I moved to Leeuwarden in 2013. It was difficult to find an international group in this area. A friend recommended Connect International, and I have been attending the Coffee Morning every two weeks, in Groningen. I have been fortunate to make new friends, and learn about different events and worshops, organised by Connect. They are a very friendly and welcoming group."

Nicki Lashley (UK)

"I moved to the Netherlands in 2010 to join my Dutch boyfriend (now husband). After nearly two years of trying to integrate into Dutch society I hit a low point, feeling lonely and isolated. That was when I learnt about Connect International and signed up to be a member. I started by attending the Coffee Mornings, then volunteered to help set up the Crafts Club and gave a few workshops about building WordPress websites (as I work as a freelance web developer). Connect (and its members) gave me friendship and support at a time when I needed it, and I hope to do the same for others in a similar position."
