On a trade mission to Bangkok

For centuries, trade with other countries has been essential to the Dutch economy. Students and lecturers from NHL Stenden contributed to this with a ten-day trade mission to Bangkok. In this video, International Business lecturer Peter de Boer and students Katrin, Lisa and Quintijn take you on their adventure to Thailand. Katrin: ‘I'm proud that I stepped out of my comfort zone.’

The journey was a great success, both from an educational and a commercial point of view. For example, Milan van der Meulen, owner of Enie.nl, explains the added value that the trade mission had for his company. The mission, in which 70 students and 11 teachers participated, was a joint project of two Dutch and four Belgian universities of applied sciences and the NHL Stenden campus in Thailand.
