This program gives you the opportunity to do an internship with NGOs in communication-related fields in several European countries such as Portugal (Lisbon, Porto), Spain (Barcelona), Italy (Rome), Greece (Athens), and Croatia (Split).

This internship combines hands-on learning with international experience to support local organizations and generate a positive impact. The goals of this internship are to ensure that your presence benefits the NGO as much as possible and to provide you with a well-rounded professional experience through varied missions.

• Content creation for social media
• Copywriting
• Updating the organization’s websites
• Graphic design
• Participating in marketing campaigns
• Supporting internal and external communication
• Organizing events, fundraisers, and other activities
