Pim van Werkhoven

Trainee Public Affairs

"Advocacy in the form of public affairs lies at the intersection of policy, democracy, and society. It is all the more important to unite and bring together different voices and perspectives in society, especially in these times."

After completing his Bachelor’s degree in Political Science at Leiden University, Pim enrolled in the Master’s program in Policy and Politics at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Next year, Pim will continue his academic career with a Master’s program in Crisis and Security Management. Pim is currently doing an internship at Publyon. The ins and outs of advocating on topics such as sustainability, regional issues, and technology are very appealing to him. He also enjoys delving into various issues and expanding his knowledge.

Besides his current studies, Pim provides debate training at universities of applied sciences, works as secretary for a tenants’ association, and volunteers for various political organizations. In his free time, Pim enjoys reading and watching literature, playing the guitar, and attending football matches.
