Tim Wildeboer, Project Manager

Creating meaning is for me the core of not only my career but also my personal life. Culture can facilitate meaning in all its diversity. Stories are shaping meaning and are part of a culture. At a young age, I fell in love with the medium of film to tell and create stories. As the years progressed, I learned about the power of telling stories and the media that are used to communicate them. There are so many ways to tell and retell a story and each has the potential to reach different audiences. This inspired me to pursue a career in the cultural field and so I combined my passion for film in studying Film & Television Science (MA). I worked with various media at the Netherlands Film Festival as a programme coordinator.

At DutchCulture, I thrive on helping our projects move forward and create the desired impact. In my role as Project Manager, I listen, coordinate, connect, facilitate and communicate with all the involved parties, to make sure expectations and reality are aligned. Context, overview and keeping an eye on the process of a project are necessary to achieve this and create a natural and efficient flow in the projects.

I am like a sponge who likes to learn and do new things. That is why this role of Project Manager suits me so well. I joined DutchCulture in 2021, as an advisor for the MEDIA programme at the Creative Europe Desk NL. In January 2023, I switched to the Marketing & Communication team, as Communications Officer, and since January 2024, I started working as a project manager.
