De Nomade - house for newcomers

The Nomade is an open house for foreign-language newcomers aged 18 and over, with a focus on people with a refugee background. It is the central location in Leuven where newcomers and their support figures can go for information and activities. Discovery, meeting people and personal development are central themes.

What can we help you with?

The Nomade is an open house for vulnerable newcomers.

  • Information and help
    Newcomers can ask all their questions about life in Leuven, for example about living, working, education and leisure. The social organizations that guide them in Leuven are together in one place and answer all their questions.
