`We want to welcome Europeans in China. See China and judge it on your own opinion. It is changing fast. When students from China ask my advice on studying overseas, I recommend the Netherlands. But because the bachelor studies are given in Dutch, they choose English speaking countries first.'

`Our organization brings part of our culture here to the campus so that we can share it and interact with others. Now it's time to grow further, to have an exchange of students. We need to help students to go back, so there is no brain drain or gain, but brain circulation.'
