Today we had a terrific Giggin’ Policy event at the Leeuwarden Kanselarij bringing together youths and policy makers to discuss the #GigEconomy and policies surrounding this new form of work.
After a typical Dutch lunch, the participants had an introduction to the Giggin’ Policy project by Erna van der Werff and Paula Bijvoets . Next, guest speaker Aukje van der Veen from Claim Your Future shared her perspective as a gigger. This was followed by round table discussions in the form of role-play where participants took on the role of a (future) gigger, large employer, policy maker, or consumer. The role play was an interesting way to highlight the pros and cons of the gig economy from different perspectives.
We will be looking forward to our next event!
