Past activities

Prior to becoming a researcher, I was teaching languages (Dutch, English and Spanish) for some years, at different levels (in secondary, adult as well as higher education). I also set up a Buddy-project at my former school, to support underachieving children in secondary education. It was inspired by Mohamed Ridouani's Buddy-project in Leuven. As part of my expertise on dyslexia and various learning disabilities, I have written some texts in French and in Dutch.

In my free time, I enjoy being a radio host on Radio Scorpio. Since 2010, my colleagues and I have our own program, Radio Spoetnik, where we exercise our creativity to optimize our listeners' lifestyle.

Here you will find a few samples of my work during various internships and paid assignments as a journalist. My film "La mer de la tranquilité" on La Louvière was screened at the documentary film festival of La Louvière (2010), the short film festival of Namur (2010), the short film festival of Charleroi (2011), the Detmold International short Film Festival (2011), the Viennale (2011), the Thessaloniki International Film Festival (2011), Festicab in Burundi (2012), FICT (2012), Cineseptiembre (2012) Fic Vagon, Mexicancortofest (2012) in Mexico; 3º Edición de la Muestra Ernesto Esteban Etchenique Buenos Aires (2012); Freenet World International Filmfestival in Serbia (2012).
