Florence au sein du Data Protection Institute
Après avoir suivi la formation de DPO en néerlandais au sein du Data Protection Institute, Florence a participé au développement de la version francophone de la formation. Grâce à son expérience en tant qu’avocate, elle dispose du bagage idéal pour enseigner les parties juridiques de la première partie de la formation.
Voici ce que Florence en dit : « J’adore donner cours. Je trouve captivant et intéressant de partager mon expérience. J’essaie, dans ce cadre, d’être la plus concrète possible. L’approche du Data Protection Institute est unique, car elle associe parfaitement la théorie et la pratique. La formation se base sur la vision et l’expérience de différents professeurs de disciplines variées. Cela permet d’atteindre un niveau de connaissances élevé et précis de la théorie et de la mise œuvre pratique. »
Florence en tant que formatrice
Florence est une formatrice passionnée qui transmet la matière juridique avec beaucoup d’énergie. Elle illustre les principes théoriques au moyen de très nombreux exemples pratiques. Grâce à son entrain et son enthousiasme, elle parvient à impliquer activement son public. Les principes deviennent ainsi pratiques et concrets, et les participants peuvent plus facilement les appliquer eux-mêmes.
