Olde Vechte

Established in 1966, the Olde Vechte Foundation has been functioning as a training center for informal learning for over 40 years in Ommen, the Netherlands.

With the two neighboring historical buildings serving as training centers, Olde Vechte and Zeesse, every year the foundation is opening its doors to over 1000 participants from all different countries and continent. The centers can comfortably house groups of up to 70 people, allowing the activities to take place in a residential setting.
Though working not-for-profit, the Olde Vechte Foundation is a financially independent organization and therefore is able to offer quality trainings focusing on various topics: coaching, personal development, employability, art expression.

The training centers are open to anyone who is motivated to improve personal and professional skills in order to create a better society and a higher quality of life. Striving to bring spirit and energy to each individual, the trainings and projects of Olde Vechte Foundation take learning as an organic process stemming from the diversity of talents and desires of the people involved. It is a living, learning, working and multicultural environment, coloured by its international volunteers.
