Emma Amedjoe is an EUR student from Austria who has been living in Rotterdam for 1.5 years. Next to being a full time student, she works for Joe and the Juice and is part of ESN Rotterdam. Her friendsgroup consists to 90% of internationals and she barely interacts with Dutch citizen outside her work.
Despite being originally for both Dutch and International students, ESN has barely any Dutch members. Emma says it has to be a team effort to unite Dutch and International students, where both parties have to actively seek contact. ESN is doing that throgh city trips to Maastrich, Dutch traditions like the Cantus, providing tansportation guides and selling OV cards. Despite the efforts, a close interacton is far from being achieved.



1. Whats your name and where are you from?
Emma Amedjoe Innsbruck Austria
2. What do you do for a job, do you work full time or are you a student?
Full time student, works for Joe and the Juice part time
3. How long have you been living in Rotterdam for?
1,5 years
4. Do you engage with Dutch/International students?
international students, rarely Dutch friends, maybe 1 or 2 -> 90/10
-> How many times a week do you engage with Dutch/International students?
In class, but no interaction really
Lot of Dutch customers Joe and the Juice, first speak Dutch and then they realize she does not speak Dutch
-> How does this engagement take place
Dutch love interest
ESN: only if there are projects and the project is with external sources
Social Impact committee no Dutchies
5. What do you think about Rotterdam as a university city?
Very diverse, very international, really nice university city, they try to make people feel welcome, but the longer you are here it is the same type of racism (e.g., housing)
6. What affect do you think international students have on Rotterdam?
diversity, different interests and strengths, bring new jobs, do stuff that Dutch workers do not want to do (e.g., polish workers that do the dirty jobs, but for them it is good money and they bring new persectives to the city) also bring housing crisis

3. ESN Board member
-> What do you do to get internationals in touch with locals?
ESN is for both international and Dutch who want to have a new experience, they connect internationals with city trips (to Maastricht), highlight Dutch traditions Cantus, Kingsday, they try to integrate the Dutch culture, they also have guides for transportation (sell OV chipcards), guides for exchange students -> you guys are welcome in NL and we want you here
-> How do you see the engagement taking place? Is it ideal?
It has to be a team effort, if the internationals want to meet nationals, it is important that it is equally wanted
E.g., they went to an elderly home and no one really wanted to speak English with them (not even the people who work there)
So for planning, welcome Dutch students more (right now barely any Dutch)
Maybe do a bike tour
-> Do you see more Dutch, more internationals or equal participation?
-> Do you have many Dutch members?
-> Do you have many events that are connected to the Dutch culture? Is that a goal of ESN?

Assignment 3: Future visions

AI Surveilance cameras as weapons?

Their goal? To fly around the city and detect any crime happening.

But do we actually feel safer with or without them?
Do crimes still happen but better hidden?
