It is of paramount importance that my reports are sent out quickly and accurately so that all communications teams may conduct the reputation management of our politicians accordingly. Starting at 5:30am, these reports contain an overview of all written press, as well as live media coverage from the morning radio. My hourly radio reports contain all interviews from politicians and therefore serve to demonstrate how CD&V politicians are portrayed in the media, and how politicians of other parties are reacting to our policies. I prepare the minister for important internal party meetings relating to the political implications of government policies and initiatives on the province of West-Flanders. To do so, I seek out and provide the required information for the minister from her advisors to make certain that the minister is adequately prepared to answer all the questions directed to her, as a representative of the government.I manage the reputation of the minister by responding to all questions and critiques (that arrive by e-mail, post, and telephone) from citizens directed to the minister. In the phone calls that I receive from citizens I must be especially diplomatic and able to think on my feet as I explain the policies of the minister. In thise calls I must often resolve conflicts and disagreements with citizens that angrily call the minister. Considering some questions or concerns are complex and cross many policy areas I must conduct my own research and enquiries with the relevant advisors and administrative bodies in order to answer the complex questions of the citizens. Considering the volume of questions received this requires that I am well organized and able to handle many tasks simultaneously to give answers to all questions directed to the minister. Show less

This trip involved organising visits to the European Parliament, European Commission and NATO SHAPE. Given the fact that they came from a non-EU and non-NATO country, the study visit was complex to organise and arrange given all the background checks required to make the visits happen. Show less
