Dam Daily | 11 Nov

Should expats get training on becoming an Amsterdammer? And what is one, even? This plus more news out of Amsterdam, plus Cathy’s music picks.

Listen back on the mixcloud player above to this edition of our Dam Daily show. Scroll for links and notes.

🎵 Music was chilled, and built around John White’s She is Everything which drove the whole of NL crazy on Shazam recently (Oogappels S06E02). Scroll for the Spotify playlist.

Stories included:

• City councillor, Erik Schmit, called in (📞 about 0:0:18m in) with the background to the debate on courses for internationals on becoming an Amsterdammer, why he disagrees and other ways of improving social cohesion in the city.
• the Centrale Markthal builds the longest red carpet in the Netherlands, as it continues developing the space as a centre for food and culture, and home to creative, circular and culinary entrepreneurs.
• what’s the best Amsterdam song, actually? Het Parool wants your vote.
• recent research finds Amsterdam is the most attractive city in the country but scores poorly on issues such as safety, social cohesion and more.
• emergency measures following last week’s unrest will continue until Thursday + other police updates
• approaching workshops for careers with N Amsterdam & EURES.
