Living in the Netherlands? Doing language work? Working in English?

Join the society for English-language professionals in the Netherlands!

What is SENSE, and what does SENSE do?

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.

Attend informal get-togethers

SENSE regularly hosts meetings (SIGs) for members based on region or special interest. These meetings can be in person or online.

Forum for members only

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.

Get a mentor to guide you

SENSE has a mentoring programme whereby experienced SENSE members can help inexperienced members for a small fee (subsidized by SENSE).

Event calendar / agenda

Never miss an event! Discover upcoming webinars, workshops and social events on the SENSE Calender, or browse through the ones that you have missed.

Contact other members easily

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.

Read our regular blog

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.

Guidelines for student texts

SENSE has prepared its own "Guidelines for Proofreading Student Texts" and a "Form to Confirm Proofreading Services". Download them free of charge.

Zoom online meeting

Address:

No address (this is not a physical meeting).

What is a "Zoom online meeting"?

When the location of an event is "Zoom online meeting", it means that the event does not take place at a physical location, but is held virtually, i.e. using the videoconferencing service "Zoom".

To use Zoom, you need at least a computer or a smartphone, and an internet connection. Ideally, you should have a microphone, so that you can talk to other participants. If you have a webcam, other participants may be able to see your face.  You will be able to hear other participants and see their faces or their names even if you do not have a microphone and/or webcam yourself.

The best way to use Zoom is using the Zoom app, application or program, which can be downloaded from your device's app store or from https://zoom.us/download (select "Client for Meetings").  You can also use Zoom via a web browser, but then certain features will be limited.  It is not required to have a Zoom account in order to use Zoom, but signing up for a free Zoom account does allow you to customize certain additional settings.

If you have registered for an event, the event coordinator will send a Zoom link (URL) to you via e-mail before the start of the event.

If you have never used Zoom before, please set up your device in advance and get assistance from friends or colleagues beforehand, because we are unlikely to be able to support participants with technical issues during the event itself, particularly for events with many participants.
