Information Morning
If you are a newly arrived Shell partner (or even an old one looking for up to date information!) you are invited to our Outpost The Hague Information Morning at Shell Headquarters in Carel van Bylandtlaan (children are welcome). You do not need to register, just turn up at reception and ask for Outpost The Hague. This informal morning will allow you to browse through literature on clubs, societies and activities that you may wish to get involved in. The morning also provides an opportunity to mix with other Shell partners and newcomers over a cup of coffee and to meet the Outpost The Hague staff who will be happy to answer your questions.

Understanding the challenges of Repatriation
Re-entry to ones home country is often assumed to be relatively non-ploblematic. However, it is in fact a complicated and sometimes even difficuly experience. Research has shown that individuals who prepare for re-entry do not experience the negative aspects to the same extent.
Networking workshop
Networking is the in-word. But how do we do it? This interactive workshop will show you the way!
Annual Course Fair
Building on the success of the well attended Language Course Fairs and Short Course Fairs the Outpost Team decided to combine these two events into one big one. At one event expatriate and local employees and their partners have the opportunity to learn more about the options for studying or taking courses in the English language.
At the Annual Course Fair a wide range of providers will be present to introduce their courses.
To name a few: Dutch and other languages courses, various creative courses, computer, writing and cooking courses, professional and hobby courses. A number of universities will also be present to introduce their courses.
Meet the Expert - Law - Last Will and Testament
If you do not have the Dutch nationality, if you own property outside the Netherlands or if you are married to a person with a nationality different to yours, this session will provide you with useful information on the legal issues of the last will and testament. It is important to know in which way your nationality, your place of residence and the country of your properties determine how your possessions are passed to the heirs after your death.
In order to be able to focus on issues most important to the attendants you are kindly asked to send us your questions by 7 June together with your (and your partner's) nationality.
