The Cultivation of Impact

Do you actually know in what ways you can influence the policies around you? Besides putting your voice in the hands of someone else, it is also possible to join different parties, pull your representatives’ sleeves or putting yourself up for election. In any position you hold, it is possible to exert influence: as a student, as a resident of Utrecht and as an employee of a company. Not only does this contribute to a better atmosphere and conditions for you at school, in your city or within your company, you learn valuable skills yourself that will allow you to continue to grow within your career. After all, to become a director you first need to better understand the company and its policies, and what better way than to do this through participation?

During this workshop several representatives (student, city & labor) will show how they have successfully lobbied for a better atmosphere, rights and working conditions in their immediate area.
