It is almost time for the 1%EVENT, which brings together innovators, young professionals, entrepreneurs and change-makers. They invest one day of their time, expertise, talent, network and energy to work on new innovative approaches towards International Co-Operation 2.0. At the event there will be some interesting guests who want to tell you their story. But in the upcoming weeks towards the 1%EVENT we are going to tell you theirs in regular blog posts.
Today we want to tell you about one of our favourite politicians in Dutch parliament. We have been following him for a while and we are so happy that he is coming to the 1%EVENT!
Arjan El Fassed is a member of parliament for the GroenLinks party. He worked for Oxfam Novib and has over ten years of international experience in the field of human rights. He was interim head of Oxfam International humanitarian campaigns. Previously, he worked for various human rights organisations in Palestine. About that period, and about his Palestinian family, he wrote the book ’Not everyone can throw stones’ (Niet iedereen kan stenen gooien). He is involved in several successful Internet initiatives, he was in the Twitter’s suggested userlist and is by far the most popular tweep (@Arjanelfassed) in the Netherlands with almost 300.000 followers. He is the only Dutchman in the global top 1000 tweeps.
We’re excited to see him at the 1%EVENT! Wanna learn how you can get 300k Twitter followers? Come to the 1%EVENT and ask him yourself!
You make it work!
