Let's Go Dutch
I organise corporate team-building events in the Amsterdam region that connect with Dutch culture. It can be as straightforward as a fun social occasion where your team gets to know each better, and all against the backdrop of Dutch culture. Or I can layer in some genuine cultural education too for those expats in your workforce who might be new to the Netherlands and need to get up to speed on what makes the Dutch Dutch!
This will always be done in an entertaining manner. My events also appeal to Dutchies too, as their culture is finally foregrounded amongst their international colleagues.
I offer three distinct types of event, all of which can be combined or not:

Culture Games Amsterdam
Learn About Dutch Directness & Pragmatism
In this suite of three group games, your team will compete with and against each other to see how Dutch they can become. Each of the games trains a specific Dutch trait (direct communication, pragmatism, and unpretentiousness), and they’re quite fun and silly. Additionally two of the games foster agile skills such as active listening, flexibile thinking, and creativity.

(Organic) Dutch Cheese Tasting
Understand The Dutch Via Their Tastiest Food
I also run www.dutchcheesetasting.com, a tasting event that features all-organic Dutch cheese, wine, and other nibbles. It’s a fun, vibrant, and social event. In addition to explaining about Dutch cheese, we also use it as an opportunity to learn more about the Dutch themselves.

Off-The-Beaten-Track Dutch Culture Tours
There's More Than Amsterdam (Echt!)
Has your team of hip, international professionals rarely travelled outside of The Ring? Well, let me open their eyes with tour itineraries that travel some very authentic Dutch roads. Via my other sites www.amsterdamtulipstour.com and www.amsterdamwindmilltours.com, I specialise in off-the-beaten-track tours that avoid all tourist cliches and tourist traps.
I have many possible itineraries, they don’t have to feature tulips or windmills, or I can also plan a bespoke tour.

About Rory
I moved to Amsterdam in 2014 for a relationship and instantly connected with Dutch culture. With a Masters in Film & TV Production from the University of Southern California, I have a background in the entertainment industry, storytelling, and corporate facilitation I have a background in storytelling and corporate facilitation. I graduated from the University of Southern California with a Masters in Film & TV Production.
When I moved to Amsterdam my professional network here was very small (zero, actually!) and I wasn’t going to accrue a sufficient level of Dutch to gain immediate work in the entertainment industry here. So, I embarked on a little side-hustle tour business. This allowed me to deepen my cultural knowledge of the country. Separately, I was over time able to gain clients for my corporate facilitations, and I realised that if you could combine corporate facilitation with a way of transmitting Dutch culture, that it would be useful for international work forces based in Amsterdam.
I am originally Irish. Don’t worry though, my accent is quite mild. You’ll actually be able to understand me.
