Welcome
A warm welcome to the website of the International Student Chaplaincy (ISC)
The International Student Chaplaincy offers hospitality to students from all countries who study in the Netherlands regardless of their cultural and religious background.
Several pastors of the Protestant and Catholic churches work as chaplains with the international students in different towns. In some places local committees coordinate the activities of the ISC.
The aim of the International Student Chaplaincy is to increase the spiritual, social and physical wellbeing of the international students so that their time in the Netherlands is a fruitful time for themselves and their communities.
The activities cover a wide range including personal counselling, Sunday worship, meals together, crosscultural evenings, interfaith sharing, excursions, retreats, bible study, and conferences.
In this way, the International Student Chaplaincy offers to students:
- a home away from home;
- companionship on the road of life;
- inspiration for personal growth;
- possibilities to cross borders of denomination, religion and culture;
- encounters with Dutch society.
