Personal

My name is Melanie van der Horst, deputy mayor of Amsterdam.

I would love to hear about your experience in Amsterdam, and learn from it to make our city even better. 

To make our conversation meaningful, I’d love to hear your thoughts on, among others:

	•	What do you enjoy most about life in Amsterdam?

	•	What could make it easier for internationals to feel at home here?

	•	How do you experience housing, work opportunities, or community life in the city?

	•	What local initiatives or cultural aspects would you like to see more of?

	•	How do you connect with Dutch residents, and how can the city improve those connections?

Looking forward to meeting you, learning from your stories, and working together to make Amsterdam better for everyone. And feel free to bring a friend!
