About us |
01 Our Mission
LATITUD comprises many concepts in one single unit, we are a student association created by passionate people, focused in the two-way integration of the International and Dutch cultures. We are community creators, bringing together the best of two worlds, the Latin-American values of family, respect and passion and contemporary global principles of tolerance, inclusion and social conscience. We are the best in what we do, because we do not showcase culture in a static manner, instead we are focused in fostering growth and development above everything else. |
02 Our History
Our road spans for three years; during our origination period, apart from setting our dreams high, our focus was oriented towards the cultural integration of students from similar geographical areas. Later on, in our second year of existence, we evolved and worked hard to establish a strong reputation for LATITUD, thanks to these efforts we became known in several mainstream platforms which allowed a rapid growth, also important to mention is that during this time, the association was formally for the first time recognized by the KVK [Dutch Chamber of Commerce] fact that positioned us as a legitimate non-profit organization. This year around our minds are set on shifting the associations identity toward a more academic profile, our main idea is sharing our culture alongside with adding value to the community around us. |

With experience in the construction and the business industry, I pursue now my goals in Hydraulic Engineering in TU Delft.
