Niels Broekman did an internship at the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality, where he worked on, among other things, biodiversity advocacy. After his internship, he decided to go in a different direction: 'An internship can be very enlightening in helping you figure out where your interests lie.'
Where exactly did you do an internship?
'I did an internship at the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature, and Food Quality, in the Environment and Cooperation cluster and the Green Finance team. There, I was involved in advocating biodiversity, nature and inclusiveness and ecosystem services in finance. I helped policy staff advocate on those different topics. For example, we would visit other ministries to try and break a lance for biodiversity.'
At what point did you think: this is where I would like to do an internship?
