    Integrationis a common term for the collaboration and coexistence of ethnic groups in society. Approximately 10 percent of the Dutch population belongs to a minority.

    How dutch nation came to be born by Rembrandt
     
    Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, "one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art history and the most important in Dutch history."
    is a 1661–62 oil painting by the Dutch painter Rembrandt, which was originally the largest he ever painted, at around five-by-five metres in the shape of a lunette. The painting was commissioned by the Amsterdam city council for the Town Hall. After the work had been in place briefly, it was returned to Rembrandt, who may have never been paid. Rembrandt drastically cut down the painting to a quarter of the original size to be sold. It is the last secular history painting he finished.[1]
    The painting follows Tacitus's Histories in depicting an episode from the Batavian rebellion, led by the one-eyed chieftain Claudius Civilis (actually called Gaius Julius Civilis by Tacitus, except once, and so known to history; but Claudius Civilis has become entrenched in art history),[2] in which he "collected at one of the sacred groves, ostensibly for a banquet, the chie...  ...  more

    What do you do on a train that doesn't have a bathroom? Use a plastic bag! At least that's what the Dutch national railway has decided. The rail operator underlined the bags, introduced Friday, for those with the occasional minor emergency.
     
    Last year, parliament agreed all trains should have toilets. However, in April, Transport Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen claimed that adding toilets to the 131 trains would be far too expensive. One report said the move might amount to the equivalent of more than $125 million.
    So, they came up with an alternative.
    Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS), the principal passenger railway operating company in the Netherlands, confirmed on Friday that the so-called "pee-bag" is no joke. Unlike an airsickness bag (also known as barf bag, sick sack, or sick bag), the pee-bags will not be readily available in a passenger's seatback pocket. Instead, the bags will be kept out of sight in the...    less

    * Fewer victims under 40 years of age in particular
    * Largest decrease for people in cars and cyclists
    * Slight rise in number of pedestrian deaths
    According to figures released today by Statistics Netherlands and the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, 640 people were killed in traffic accidents in the Netherlands in 2010. This is 11 percent fewer than the 720 deaths in 2009, and continues the downward trend observed in the last few years. The number of fatalities among people aged under 40 in particular decreased, as well as the number among cyclists and people in cars.
    The number of traffic deaths among people aged under 40 was 247 in 2010. This is 20 percent down on twelve months previously. Within this age group the strongest decrease was for 15-19 year-olds. This is mainly because fewer of these youngsters were killed in cars (from 36 victims in 2009 to 19 i...    less

    If you start living or working in the Netherlands after your 15th birthday, you will not be able to build up rights to a full AOW pension. As a result, you will get a reduced pension when you are 65. A full pension is only payable to people who have been continuously insured between their 15th and 65th birthdays.
    However, you can still get a full AOW pension by taking out voluntary insurance retroactively for the period between your 15th birthday and the date on which you came to live or work in the Netherlands. (This is not possible for Anw insurance).
    If you had a residence permit when first staying in the Netherlands, you may not have become insured under the AOW scheme straightaway. We will find out for you when your insurance started.

    in the first six months of 2011, more than 58 thousand people left the Netherlands, i.e. nearly 5 thousand more than in the same period last year. In the first two quarters of this year, 66.6 thousand foreigners came to the Netherlands, an increase by nearly 2 thousand. Net migration over the first six months of 2011 dropped to 8.3 thousand, according to the most recent figures released by Statistics Netherlands.
    The increase in emigrants is largely due to native Dutch leaving the country to settle elsewhere.
    The increase in the number of immigrants mainly concerns citizens born in the European Union, in particular people from Poland. The largest group of immigrants – native Dutch returning to the Netherlands – became smaller.
    In the first half of this year, 88.5 thousand babies were born, 500 fewer than in the same period last year; 68 thousand per...    less

Het centrale gedeelte bevat de volgende onderdelen: De centrale examens worden in Zwolle afgenomen. Key Dutch spoken (TGN): The exam is done over the phone. The key consists of 48 questions. Speaking skills-Ness is central. Can the candidate understand and make themselves understood Dutch? The test takes approximately 15 minutes and consists of the following components: - Part a: 8 sentences. Nazeggen - repeating a sentence verbatim. - Part b: 10 questions. 5 questions with the right answer should be mentioned, for example: ' Is your brother a man or a woman? '.

Instruction sample exam TGN To create a sample exam TGN has a phone. You call telephone number: 088-7890123 You will first hear the words: "Welcome to the practice exam Dutch language." Then the sample exam TGN. The sample exam takes about 9 minutes. You hear every component first time an instruction and an example. Then you hear the statements of the TGN of A, B, C, D and E. You can choose what you do Electronic practice exam The Practice exam is done Electronically through the computer. During the examination, the candidate receives a number of practical situations on the computer screen to see. For example, someone who wants to join the library, or someone who has a conversation with his boss at work. This practice situations hear questions. Hear more questions one practice situation than in the other. The exam is therefore not always long. Most exams have 43 questions. It also comes less that an exam questions. To get the chance to take the exam is not here by larger or smaller. The candidate must answer correctly at least 73% of the questions to succeed. He gets 60 minutes to make the time to take the exam. If the candidate is busy with the exam he sees on the computer screen exactly how many questions he must make and how many questions he has already answered. The practical examination consists of two parts. The first part consists of questions that everyone gets. These are questions about how things go in Netherlands. The second part consists of questions about Work or OGO . These two topics we call profiles. Participants get on school lesson in one of these profiles. Knowledge of Dutch society (KNS) The exam is done through the computer. During the examination, the candidate receives a number of movies to see. KNS counts 8 different topics, which are reflected in the movies. These topics are: work and income, manners values and standards, living, health and healthcare, history and geography, bodies, State establishment and the rule of law, education and upbringing. Hear about these topics at that movies questions. In to one movie hear more questions than at the other. Most exams have 43 questions. It can also prevent a exam what less questions. To get the chance to take the exam is not here by larger or smaller, the candidate must namelyminimum 62% of questions answered correctly. The candidate has 45 minutes to make the time to take the exam. At the decentralised the learner can choose between section: - Creating a portfolio collecting evidence and a panel conversation = 20. - Assessments = 4 keys. - Combination portfolio and practice proofs and keys = 10 2 assessments. If the participant has passed all the parts he gets the integration degree. Portfolio profile work and OGO The profile work is focused on workers and jobseekers and outflow has three directions: - Technique; - Care and welfare; - Trade and services. The profile OGO stands for Education Health and education and is consistent with educators of children. The municipality determined on the basis of data and an intake interview or the participant must follow the profile work or OGO. There are now also introduced two new profiles, namely social orientation and entrepreneurship. The NPC in hoogezand gives no lesson in these profiles, these two profiles will therefore not be explained. Assessments The assessments include practice situations in which the inburgeringsplichtige must show that he can perform certain language acts. The assessments are, as it were, imitations of reality: there is one situation in which re-enacted might occur in everyday life, also called a roleplaying game called. The key is constructed in such a way that the candidate by performing a series of acts comes to a solution of the situation which is outlined in the toetsboekje. It appealed to both oral (interviews) as written (reading and writing) skills. In the toetsboekje the situation is described and the tasks that the applicant must carry out. Panel Discussion Before the panel discussion takes place, make a designated exam setting the portfolio on completeness. The control is not focused on language level. The participant must submit a portfolio that contains at least 20 proofs of exported conversation – and write situations within the different critical practice situations as described in the manual portfolio.

    in the topic Inburgering in english .. Very Easy to understand in the forum Learning Dutch


    Integration and naturalisation


    Integrationis a common term for the collaboration and coexistence of ethnic groups in society. Approximately 10 percent of the Dutch population belongs to a minority. The goal of integration policy is a society in which everyone is involved and in which people actively and fully fledged all be treated in the same way. Equal treatment is an important starting point of integration policies.    


     

    Inburgering wil zeggen dat immigranten die langdurig in Nederland komen wonen de taal spreken, op de hoogte zijn van de Nederlandse samenleving en een aantal belangrijke normen en waarden kennen. De Nederlandse overheid beschouwt inburgering als een voorwaarde om te kunnen integreren. De eisen voor inburgering zijn vastgelegd in de Wet Inburgering. Het Deltaplan inburgering moet de kwaliteit van de inburgering verbeteren en meer mensen in laten burgeren.


    Integration means that immigrants who come to live long-term in the Netherlands speaking language, are aware of the Dutch society and a number of important standards and values. The Dutch Government regards integration as a prerequisite to be able to integrate. The requirements for naturalisation are laid down in the immigrant integration Act. The Delta plan integration should improve the quality of the integration and naturalization let more people in.

     

     

    New Immigrant Integration Act

    With effect from 1 January 2007 is the new immigrant integration Act entered into force.

    That concludes the immigrant integration Act (WIN) and the various arrangements earlier migrants lapse. To improve the integration of immigrants in the new law provides for both old-as a result lighting newcomers. Someone has just fulfilled his civic integration duty as the civic integration exam with success is made.

     

    Inburgeringsplichtingen are:

    • All non-Dutch (born outside the EU/EEA) from 16 to 65 years of age who:

    -          do not possess certain diplomas or certificates;

    -          not for a temporary purpose in Netherlands;

    -          During 8 years of school age have lived in Netherlands;

    -          not following the full schooling training whose completion leads to certain diplomas or certificates ...

    • Naturalized Netherlands nationals who do not comply with the eight-year period of compulsory education and:

    -          who have received reintegration assistance and require at least 6 months;

    -          who exercise parental authority over a minor child.

    • Mentally control servants.

     

    As a result of the new immigrant integration Act, both the old and new entrants not only obliged to follow a inburgeringsprogamma, they must be able to demonstrate on the civic integration exam also have sufficient knowledge of the Dutch language and Dutch society.


    Examquestions

    The civic integration exam consists of a central and decentral portion (the practice exam).

     

    The Central section includes the following components:

    • Key Dutch Spoken (TGN)           Toets Gesproken Nederlands( TGN)
    • Electronic Practice Exam (EPE)   Elektronische PraktijkExamen (EPE)
    • Knowledge of Dutch society (KNS)   Kennis van de Nederlandse Samenleving (KNS)

     


     


     

     

    Key Dutch spoken (TGN):

    The exam is done over the phone. The key consists of 48 questions. Speaking skills-Ness is central. Can the candidate understand and make themselves understood Dutch?

    The test takes approximately 15 minutes and consists of the following components:

    -          Part a: 8 sentences.

    -          Part b: 10 questions.

    5 questions with the right answer should be mentioned, for example: ' Is your brother a man or a woman? '.

    In addition, there are also 5 open questions, for example: "what can you buy in a butcher shop? '

    -          Part c: 8 sentences.

    -          Part d: opposites (call it opposite of e.g.: small – large)

    -          Part E: 2 stories retelling.

     

    Electronic practice exam

    The Practice exam is done Electronically through the computer. During the examination, the candidate receives a number of practical situations on the computer screen to see. For example, someone who wants to join the library, or someone who has a conversation with his boss at work. This practice situations hear questions. Hear more questions one practice situation than in the other. The exam is therefore not always long.

    Most exams have 43 questions. It also comes less that an exam questions. To get the chance to take the exam is not here by larger or smaller. The candidate must answer correctly at least 73% of the questions to succeed. He gets 60 minutes to make the time to take the exam. If the candidate is busy with the exam he sees on the computer screen exactly how many questions he must make and how many questions he has already answered.
    The practical examination consists of two parts. The first part consists of questions that everyone gets. These are questions about how things go in Netherlands. The second part consists of questions about Work or OGO . These two topics we call profiles. Participants get on school lesson in one of these profiles.

     

    Knowledge of Dutch society (KNS)

    The exam is done through the computer. During the examination, the candidate receives a number of movies to see. KNS counts 8 different topics, which are reflected in the movies. These topics are: work and income, manners values and standards, living, health and healthcare, history and geography, bodies, State establishment and the rule of law, education and upbringing. Hear about these topics at that movies questions. In to one movie hear more questions than at the other. Most exams have 43 questions. It can also prevent a exam what less questions. To get the chance to take the exam is not here by larger or smaller, the candidate must namelyminimum 62% of questions answered correctly. The candidate has 45 minutes to make the time to take the exam.

    At the decentralised the learner can choose between section:

    -          Creating a portfolio collecting evidence and a panel conversation = 20.

    -          Assessments = 4 keys.

    -          Combination portfolio and practice proofs and keys = 10 2 assessments.

     

    If the participant has passed all the parts he gets the integration degree.

     

    Portfolio profile work and OGO

    The profile work is focused on workers and jobseekers and outflow has three directions:

    -          Technique;

    -          Care and welfare;

    -          Trade and services.

    The profile OGO stands for Education Health and education and is consistent with educators of children.

    The municipality determined on the basis of data and an intake interview or the participant must follow the profile work or OGO.

    There are now also introduced two new profiles, namely social orientation and entrepreneurship. The NPC in hoogezand gives no lesson in these profiles, these two profiles will therefore not be explained.

     

    Assessments

    The assessments include practice situations in which the inburgeringsplichtige must show that he can perform certain language acts. The assessments are, as it were, imitations of reality: there is one situation in which re-enacted might occur in everyday life, also called a roleplaying game called.

    The key is constructed in such a way that the candidate by performing a series of acts comes to a solution of the situation which is outlined in the toetsboekje. It appealed to both oral (interviews) as written (reading and writing) skills. In the toetsboekje the situation is described and the tasks that the applicant must carry out.

     

    Panel Discussion

    Before the panel discussion takes place, make a designated exam setting the portfolio on completeness. The control is not focused on language level.

    The participant must submit a portfolio that contains at least 20 proofs of exported conversation – and write situations within the different critical practice situations as described in the manual portfolio. If the portfolio is approved then the participant may participate in the panel discussion. During the panel discussion the examiner may decide which prove to be queried.

    In the panel discussion is the oral and written language skills assessed in the functional context of the portfolio securities. The panel discussion will evaluate the language skills of the applicant within the domains citizenship, OGO or work. Are there critical practice situations described for each domain.

     

    • Citizenship:

    The panel discussion for citizenship is based on evidence from the portfolio of situations within the Dutch society. Some examples of situations that can appear here are: the passing of changes in personal data at the municipality, opening a bank account, enroll in a training, a conversation in a chat with the Housing Association, neighbors, etc.

    • OGO:

    The panel discussion for OGO is aimed at participants who have collected evidence within situations related to Education, health and education. Here are some examples that may occur: a conversation at school, a conversation with the family doctor, de-register register with an association, etc.

     

    • Work:

    The situations that fall under general work, are situations where anyone who works with it may have to do. The situations that fall specifically under work are focused on three specific sectors, namely technique, care and welfare and trade and services.

    in the topic How dutch nation came to be born by Rembrandt in the forum Discuss Dutch Culture

     

    Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, "one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art history and the most important in Dutch history."



    The Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis is a 1661–62 oil painting by the Dutch painter Rembrandt, which was originally the largest he ever painted, at around five-by-five metres in the shape of a lunette. The painting was commissioned by the Amsterdam city council for the Town Hall. After the work had been in place briefly, it was returned to Rembrandt, who may have never been paid. Rembrandt drastically cut down the painting to a quarter of the original size to be sold. It is the last secular history painting he finished.[1]



    The painting follows Tacitus's Histories in depicting an episode from the Batavian rebellion, led by the one-eyed chieftain Claudius Civilis (actually called Gaius Julius Civilis by Tacitus, except once, and so known to history; but Claudius Civilis has become entrenched in art history),[2] in which he "collected at one of the sacred groves, ostensibly for a banquet, the chiefs of the nation and the boldest spirits of the lower class", convinced them to join his rebellion, and then "bound the whole assembly with barbarous rites and strange forms of oath."[3]

    Civilis, Tacitus writes, "was unusually intelligent for a native, and passed himself off as a second Sertorius or Hannibal, whose facial disfigurement he shared"—that is to say, the loss of one eye. He feigned friendship with Emperor Vespasian in order to regain his freedom. When he returned to his tribal grounds in the marshes of the Betuwe, he organized the revolt he had long been planning.[4]
