Promote cooperation across the Belgian and Dutch borders!
The Joint Secretariat Interreg Vlaanderen-Nederland is looking for two volunteers!
The Interreg programme Vlaanderen-Nederland focuses on strengthening the five Flemish provinces in Belgium and the three southern provinces of The Netherlands. Four are the main priorities for this border area:
- innovation and research infrastructure,
- training and the functioning of the labour market,
- adaptation to climate change, biodiversity and air pollution prevention, sustainable
leisure activities and tourism, - solving administrative-legal bottlenecks at the border.
The volunteers will support the programme in reaching these priorities through communication activities, carrying out the following tasks:
- Coming up with ideas and input for the communication plan;
- Contacting, informing and making agreements with involved project partners for conducting interviews, articles, videos/podcast, etc;
- Support the promotion of Interreg projects by going on site and taking interviews and photos;
- Writing and/or editing articles or videos and publish them on the website and social media channels;
- Contribute to the newsletter;
- Participate in the daily operation of the secretariat and attend the weekly meetings.
