Stichting Boerengroep is looking for a secretary (4-5 hours a week),
starting from September 2020.
Organisation
Stichting Boerengroep aims to close the gap between agriculture at the university and the reality and challenges of farmers and peasants around the world. It fights for a social, just and sustainable food production via activities in which we stimulate a critical view among farmers and students. Boerengroep organizes excursions, lectures, dialogues, workshops, movie screening, and a four-week long summer course about agroecology.

- Assisting in the organisation of Boerengroep activities
- Assisting in the composition of the year plan and year report
- If possible, helping to organise activities with the other Boerengroep board members.

What do we offer:
- Network opportunities in the agricultural sector
- Opportunities to develop your communication and organisational skills
