A group of students from The Hague University of Applied Sciences (HSS) visited the Social and Economic Council (SER) of Curaçao on Monday as part of their ‘Kingdom Relations’ minor. During the visit, the students received an overview of how the advisory body informs government and parliamentary decision-making on socioeconomic issues.
Council staff explained the legal foundation of the SER, the process through which its recommendations are drafted and reviewed, and the institution’s place within Curaçao’s constitutional system. The visit offered the students a rare glimpse into the mechanics of policy formation in a small island jurisdiction.
Interest from The Hague University has grown steadily in recent years, with students frequently completing internships at the council. According to officials familiar with the exchange, the continued collaboration helps strengthen understanding between the Caribbean and European parts of the Kingdom.
