Public Speaking in the Netherlands

Public Speaking in the Netherlands 

Telling your MSF story to a live audience is the most powerful way of spreading the word about the work we do. We are always looking for MSF staff who are based in the Netherlands to join our speaker pool.  

We would love to have you!

Why should you give talks?   

  • You will develop your skills
  • It's a great way to stay engaged with MSF when you are not on assignment or are no longer working for us  
  • The visibility it provides is incredibly valuable to us 
  • It's great for recruitment, fundraising and advocacy 

Many MSF staff deliver talks all over the country, and find the experience incredibly rewarding.

Where would you talk? 

We get requests for MSF speakers to talk at events all year round, from all over the Netherlands, from: 

  • Schools 
  • Universities 
  • Community groups 
  • Private functions 
  • Fundraising events 

You may already give talks in your area. If you do, please let us know and we can support you with resources and information.  

It's also good for us to know which areas of the country we're covering, and where we are being represented to the public.
