Becoming a Rotterdammer. A digital action research to help newcomers participate in Rotterdam: A City Lab 010 project by New Momentum, Stichting Mano and the Erasmus University.

As a newcomer, it can be challenging to find your way in the Netherlands. In recent years, both the national government and the municipality of Rotterdam have invested in
projects and studies to assist newcomers in learning the language and culture, finding a job, and ultimately actively contributing to society.

These studies have shown that, despite theseefforts, newcomers often get stuck in the system,
