In this AMID StoryCast series, students Shelby and Felix had the chance to discuss how international negotiations change in the face of the corona crisis and the ongoing virtualization of the global meeting landscape. Based on their recent training on international negotiations the two also look deeper into what learnings junior professionals in the field of international development can draw from current best practices and practical experiences. For this, they took the chance to talk with the current First Secretary at the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United Nations, Robin de Vogel, who shares with us her first-hand experience as a negotiator at the UN.
