Traveling by 'Mokoro' through, in part uncharted areas of the Okavango Delta with the help of locals from Maun, Botswana.
Doing a Master of Science while also freelancing as a filmmaker and photographer, and working as a part-time teacher and coach at a university, can be tough. The extra hours you have to work are brutal. But it can also be fun and rewarding.
One of the so-called 'learning outcomes' in my master's curriculum is Sustainable Development. We were asked to create a two-minute video with our personal vision on the topic. In doing so, I kept the video quite general, so that it was open for interpretation and discussion. At the same time, I wanted to make my (idealistic) point.
Because sustainable development isn’t just an abstract concept for me and it’s something I find deeply important I thought I'd share it here. Having worked and traveled across more than 60 countries, I’ve seen firsthand what happens when we neglect our environment. From cities choked by smog to landscapes destroyed by deforestation, the consequences are real, and they don’t just affect faraway places; they shape all of our futures.
You can watch the video below. It’s in Dutch, but there are subs in English.
NOTE: Don’t mind the voice-over audio quality. Like I said, the weekly hours are brutal, and I had to record it dirty and fast, using my phone on short notice.
