During the Grand Opening on February 13, the award-winning writer will speak about the cross culture between China and the Netherlands.
Lulu Wang (1960) is a Beijing-born writer that moved to The Netherlands at the age of 25. Her first novel ‘The Lily Theatre’ gained major attention and received multiple literary awards. Ms. Wang’s books dive into the topics of Chinese culture, touched upon from compelling socioeconomic and sociopolitical perspectives. She often lectures on China; its economic development, its traditions and differences with The Netherlands. Through her literary works and lectures, Lulu Wang aims to act as a bridge between both countries.

In het verlengde van de on-campus dagen van China in Focus, organiseert CSA-EUR op 15 februari in samenwerking met Achmea een inhousedag in Leiden. Ben jij benieuwd hoe de wereld van een trainee bij één van grootste financiële dienstverleners van Nederland eruit ziet? Grijp dan nu je kans!
Tijdens de inhousedag is er een divers programma waarin je een kijkje neemt in de organisatie. Behalve dat je meer te weten komt over Achmea, doe je mee aan een interessante workshop over ‘Multicultureel Leiderschap’ en ga je aan de slag met een actueel vraagstuk. Tot slot krijg je ruim de gelegenheid om met trainees en medewerkers (jouw toekomstige collega’s?) van Achmea kennis te maken tijdens een gezellige lunch. De dag zal starten om 09:30 en eindigt rond 16.00 uur.
Wil jij aanwezig zijn? Meld je dan uiterlijk 12 februari aan via https://achmea.homerun.co/inhousedag.
