Programme Winter Weeks 21 december to 2 januari

2 December 2025

Spending the festive season away from home and would you like to meet up with other international students? During the Winter Weeks join free activities in The Hague and Leiden - a great way to meet new friends, have fun together and feel at home in your city.

Something fun for everyone

Get creative by drawing a winter landscape, joining the book club or building your own gingerbread house. Prefer something active? Go ice skating at De Uithof, join the Oliebollen Walk or try climbing at Boulderhal Walhalla. And if you’re mainly looking for something cosy, join the Green Kitchen Dinner, the potluck & game night, the movie night, music bingo or the Christmas brunch.

View the full programme and register quickly for one or more activities. Registration opens 8 December.

Join us!

Do you have any sporty resolutions for the new year? From December 2 to January 18, you can discover the USC sports center at a discounted rate.

‘The Christmas lunch was a really thoughtful event, especially for us international students celebrating alone. The whole spread was delicious, and I met some lovely people too. Confirming to keep my promise to attend really helped me to get dressed and get out of the house and I ended up having a great time.’
