For eight weeks, I\u2019m doing an internship at Trage Wegen Vzw. This is a recognized environmental organisation that advocates for all slow roads in Flanders. That might still sound a bit vague to you \u2013 it certainly did to me at first \u2013 but it immediately sparked my interest. Now that I\u2019m already halfway through my internship, I have a much clearer picture of what goes on at Trage Wegen Vzw. In this blog, I\u2019d like to give you a glimpse into my internship experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the internship, I\u2019m shadowing Hanne. She has various responsibilities within the organisation, which allows me to get involved in different types of projects. From the start, I was included in the “Mobimaatwerkers” project in Oosterzele. In this project, we conduct research on local mobility and explore how to encourage residents to choose bicycles more often for functional trips (instead of using their cars). I attended online meetings with the municipality and participated in neighborhood research. This allowed us to experience firsthand how mobility is functioning in Oosterzele, and we spoke to residents to gather their opinions. Soon, we\u2019ll be organizing a focus group with local residents and the municipality to explore this topic more deeply. So, I was able to go out into the field, but I also worked on this project from the office \u2013 for example, by processing interview data and mapping it out on a geographic map.<\/p>\n\n\n

En plus de cela, j\u2019ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 eu l\u2019occasion de participer au lancement de l\u2019inventaire des chemins lents \u00e0 Gistel, \u00e0 une journ\u00e9e d\u2019inspiration sur la mobilit\u00e9 durable, ainsi qu\u2019\u00e0 une promenade le long de l\u2019Escaut. Comme vous pouvez le constater, le stage est tr\u00e8s vari\u00e9 ! Bien s\u00fbr, il y a aussi de nombreuses journ\u00e9es que je passe au bureau, o\u00f9 je travaille sur des t\u00e2ches plus petites comme cr\u00e9er publications pour les r\u00e9seaux sociaux, la r\u00e9daction de blogs ou la participation \u00e0 des r\u00e9unions avec diff\u00e9rents groupes de travail. Je peux \u00e9galement contribuer \u00e0 la campagne pour la Semaine de la Mobilit\u00e9. Ce sont tous des projets que je soutiens personnellement, ce qui m\u2019aide \u00e9norm\u00e9ment \u00e0 commencer chaque journ\u00e9e de stage avec motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comme vous l\u2019avez peut-\u00eatre devin\u00e9, ce stage est pour moi une tr\u00e8s belle opportunit\u00e9. Je viens chaque jour avec plaisir, et toutes les personnes qui travaillent ici sont super sympathiques et toujours pr\u00eates \u00e0 m\u2019aider. Je recommanderais donc sans h\u00e9siter ce lieu \u00e0 toute personne \u00e0 la recherche d\u2019un stage actif, vari\u00e9, et ax\u00e9 sur des projets durables et socialement pertinents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bient\u00f4t aura \u00e9galement lieu \u201cDe Dag van de Trage Weg\u201d, une campagne qui se d\u00e9roule chaque ann\u00e9e en octobre. Je travaille aussi dans les coulisses sur cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement (comme la mise \u00e0 jour du site web, par exemple). Par la pr\u00e9sente, j\u2019invite tout le monde \u00e0 participer \u00e0 une activit\u00e9 organis\u00e9e pr\u00e8s de chez vous !<\/p>\n\n\n
