‘I manage a river contract in the south of Belgium, within a nature reserve financed by European funds. Setting up a river contract entails convincing many different parties, often with opposing interests. I have to promote the project, mainly by publishing brochures. I organise educational activities such as workshops for children. Administration and financial management as well as seeking funding take up a large part of my time.’ - Nicolas, graduate |
