    Newcomers & those helping them | A visit to the IamExpat Fair
    May 12 2026
    The BRAM RADIO team visited the latest IamExpat Fair in Amsterdam to find out who’s there and what’s their story?

    Newcomers to Amsterdam, coming to study, to work or to join family or partners: how do they make sense of their new life here? It can be quite different to what they are used to, wherever they come from. There’s quite a market in supporting these newcomers so, IamExpat Media holds regular fairs to bring useful services together in one place to meet as many new internationals as possible. Hear from a range of newcomers, service providers and one of the founders of the fair, in this order:
    • Shahzeb, newcomer from Pakistan
    • Panos Sarlanis, co-founder of IamExpat Media
    • Emma Slot, new founder of Urban Kickstart, first time having a stand at the fair
    • Melvin van Jaarsveld RB, partner of NAHV Belastingadviseurs
    • Shannon Koopman, from the family team at Frans Otten Stadion
    A report back from Amsterdam's IamExpat Fair on 7 March 2026 at the Beurs van Berlage.

    Interviews by Michalis Daniilakis and Cathy Leung.

    📻 Broadcast premiere on BRAM RADIO online radio station: Friday 15 May 2026, 13:00, with occasional repeats.

    A fight for clean air in Amsterdam and the permit for ICL: a message is sent, 20 January 2026
    Jan 25 2026
    A fight for clean air in Amsterdam: on Tuesday 20 January 2026, the local action group Adem Vrij aan het IJ (https://ademvrijaanhetij.nl) again shared their concerns about the emissions of the ICL fertiliser factory in their neighbourhood. They presented Jeroen Olthof, deputy of the province of North Holland, with a New Year's card from about 170 residents, all wishing for stronger measures to deal with the ICL factory. BRAM RADIO's Dominik Kucera was at the event and spoke with various parties to find out what's at the heart of this protest.

    (The province and the environmental service will come up with a new permit for ICL at the end of January, reports AT5.)

    Audio report by Dominik Kucera for BRAM RADIO, the online radio station for Amsterdam, produced by Stichting Broadcast Amsterdam.
