Eefke van de Wouw
Eefke van de Wouw, Wilderness Guide, Keynote Speaker, Ambassador for more time outdoors and former UN Youth Representative
After learning that we spend at least 90% of our days indoors, Eefke quit her job as Impact Manager at a Dutch Film platform and NGO to learn more about nature and inspire others to find their way back to the outdoors. As a wilderness guide in training and a storyteller at heart her aim is to reconnect people to what we are trying to protect: our common home.
Her work focuses mainly on the cultural, spiritual, ethical and value based transitions we need to bridge the growing disconnection and polarization. Behind every decision are people after all, and if they shift, their impact in the world shifts.
With experience in international politics as a former UN Youth Representative, environmentalism, film and documentary, NGO’s, creative industries, activism and future research Eefke work tirelessly towards a world where we are reminded of all that we share rather than all that divides us.
