Our programme
Relax, discover, develop
Through the different programmes at Talent East Academy you find a way to relax, to discover what you really want and to develop yourself.
Connecting through Maths — VvW
VvW is the programme running today. Every Sunday, experienced subject teachers guide newcomer students through their schoolwork — in small groups, at their own level, in a room quiet enough to actually get work done.
How we work
- One-to-one lessons with a subject teacher
- Group lessons in small groups
- Student helps student
- Self-study in a quiet room
Practical
- When
- Sunday 10:00 – 15:00
- Where
- Wijkcentrum ’t Ni-je Terphoes, Noordhollandstraat 4, Enschede
- For whom
- Newcomer students in secondary school
- Subjects
- Maths, physics, chemistry, biology, Dutch, English
- Cost

Newcomers in Motion — NkB
NkB is in preparation. The idea is simple: newcomers and volunteer sports buddies exercise together. Moving helps against stress, and in between you pick up the language and get to know the city without it feeling like a lesson.
What we will do
- Exercise together with a regular sports buddy
- Chat, and practise Dutch that way
- Get to know the city and its culture
Practical
- Status
- In preparation
- When
- To be announced soon
- Where
- Sports venues in Enschede — to be announced
- Who
- Newcomers and volunteer sports buddies

How the track works

- Job training aimed at a concrete profession
- Trial period at a partner company
Practical
