Moderator

On numerous occasions and in different settings I’ve performed the dual role of moderator and interviewer. I find there’s great added value in guiding the conversation that you end up writing a story about later on.

For instance, I moderated two round table conversations with participants of the Mindanao Peacebuilding Institute’s annual training program. The articles I wrote highlight how these peacebuilders don’t just come to be trained but to be part of a larger community of peacebuilders.

BloggerVan-Wersch-Writes-By-Night-About

In 2017 I traveled extensively across the United States collecting people’s personal stories on loss, love and politics. These blogs are all categorized under ‘Trump America’. End of 2017 I emigrated for 2 years to Davao City in the Philippines to join my partner who had found employment there with an international NGO. Blogging as an expat in Davao, I wrote about the people I meet and my extraordinary experiences going around the Philippines.
