I was in Brussels yesterday, where I go at least once a month. Have you ever been to Brussels? You should as it’s a unique experience and requires a specific type of networking.
The Brussels-based community is unique. 15,000 European bureaucrats and twice as many lobbyists. If you are a networker you must know all of them and what they think of each other.
How is it possible? It’s simple: parties! Brussels requires an intensive social life from the beginning to the end of the day. Not too much office work.
So, get an invitation to the next conference. Buy a new Armani suit and refresh your language skills. Brilliant conversation and charm. No details please as you might end up with grant from the Commission.
Key words in every discussion: I’m from civil society, blame selfish governments and believe in Europe. No more details.
17 centesimi al giorno sono troppi?
Poco più di un euro a settimana, un caffè al bar o forse meno. 60 euro l’anno per tutti i contenuti di VITA, gli articoli online senza pubblicità, i magazine, le newsletter, i podcast, le infografiche e i libri digitali. Ma soprattutto per aiutarci a raccontare il sociale con sempre maggiore forza e incisività.
