Bert has been monitoring global trends for over 30 years. First as a reporter for Radio 1, where he would travel to Africa and Brazil, and later as journalist for the VRT news desk, where he specialised in the US. In his book called De kleuren van Amerika (The colours of America), Bart offers his insights into the diversity of the US. In the meantime, he has also started to focus on migration in Europe, certainly after the refugee crisis of 2015. Radio taught him to communicate clearly, while television taught him to sharpen his outlook. He is able to make complex topics understandable, without simplification.
Bert serves as moderator or interviewer during debates, book launches or dialogue sessions about the issues of international politics or migration.
