What makes this internship an authentic experience?

From an inter-connectedness between North and South, we address social inequality in our current globalized world. With your volunteer work you actively contribute to a more sustainable and just society.
6 MONTHS
Intensive training period
After a preparation period of 8 weeks, you will leave in November for the country of your choice. You have 3 weeks vacation. You submit your Bachelor's thesis in June.
critical mind
A broad view
In the preparatory weeks you will be taught about politics, economics, globalisation, intercultural communication and development cooperation. During your internship you will be challenged to look through these glasses.
integration
Dynamic
Language lessons prepare you to enter into a dialogue with the people around you. You live among them and get to know their reality. At the same time, you also question your own cultural values.
Duo-partner
Anchor points
You don't leave alone. You have one or more co-partners located in your city or region. This way you determine the balance between maintaining contact with the local population and occasionally relying on other students.
Coaching
A personal trajectory
You will receive customized guidance. Your counselor will keep in touch and help you with questions or problems. He/she supports you with your internship and bachelor's thesis and will visit you in January or February.
