Living in the Netherlands? Doing language work? Working in English?
Join the society for English-language professionals in the Netherlands!
SENSE is a society for English-language professionals based in the Netherlands. We are a community of language workers who work from or into English, with a connection to the Netherlands.
SENSE regularly hosts meetings (SIGs) for members based on region or special interest. These meetings can be in person or online.
SENSE's web forum is where members can post questions, give answers, and chat with other members. There is also a jobs category where jobs are posted from potential clients who visited the SENSE website.
SENSE has a mentoring programme whereby experienced SENSE members can help inexperienced members for a small fee (subsidized by SENSE).
Never miss an event! Discover upcoming webinars, workshops and social events on the SENSE Calender, or browse through the ones that you have missed.
SENSE members are encouraged to make contact with other members. That is what being in a society is all about. All SENSE members can search for or browse the list of current SENSE members.
SENSE members and guest authors post meeting reports and interesting articles on the SENSE Blog. It also represents an opportunity to budding copywriters to get their name on screen.
SENSE has prepared its own "Guidelines for Proofreading Student Texts" and a "Form to Confirm Proofreading Services". Download them free of charge.
