Description

Program description

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.

 

The specific tasks of the internship will depend on the chosen dates, the current needs of the partner NGOs at that time, and of course, your interests and skills.

 

Here are the tasks you may take part in:

  • 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
  • Video editing
  • Creative writing
  • Public relations

 

Sample schedule

Morning:

  • 7 a.m. – 10 a.m.: Breakfast at your accommodation.
  • 10 a.m.: Head to your internship placement to start your day and work on your project.

Midday:

  • 1:30 p.m.: Lunch at work or at your accommodation, depending on your internship.

Afternoon:

  • 2 p.m. – 7 p.m.: Continue working on your project. You’ll also have time to freely explore the city depending on your work schedule.
  • 8 p.m. – 10 p.m.: Return to your accommodation or enjoy your free time.

 

This schedule is provided as an example. During the first week, an orientation day is planned to help you get familiar with your host organization and the city surroundings.

Project information

Your accommodation

Housing is allocated by local NGOs, not by Freepackers - the descriptions are there to give you an idea of the type of accommodation, as it is very likely that conditions will vary on site depending on the number of volunteers, weather conditions, availability, etc. Each volunteer will be accommodated according to the stated conditions, but it is possible that the accommodation may not match the description or images shown on this site word for word, for example, in the case of annexed housing, renovations, relocations, etc.

You will be accommodated in a volunteer house. Housing conditions may vary depending on the country chosen for the internship. You will stay in a shared room.

Meals​

Two meals are included in the program: breakfast and dinner on weekdays and weekends.
