Promoting the “Geneva Internship Program”
INTERNSHIP PROGRAM IN GENEVA
A Geneva Internship Program offered by EPLO
The foundation of the internship program in Geneva is to familiarize students of international relations, political science and law with some of the major issues and workings of various Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) and the UN. The internship`s aim, apart from offering a firsthand experience during meetings of assemblies and governing boards of IGOs, is considered as a learning journey nudging students to think creatively and critically. Interns are requested to familiarize themselves with introductory reading before participating in meetings of IGOs and follow up with specified essential and suggested readings. They will be expected not just to summarize debates and other developments but also critically attempt to uncover all possible shades of arguments during discussions.
The program is a nonpaying flexible assignment through which an intern, apart from acquiring a unique professional experience , could obtain a letter of recommendation from EPLO commensurate to his/hers performance
Requirements:
-Preferably university degree and confirmed ability to speak and write in English
-Attend meetings at the aforementioned organizations as a registered delegate of EPLO and be able to write brief reports
-Sign an agreement indicating that the internship is non-paying
Housing is a problem in Geneva but one could share a studio or rent a room at a reasonable price . Tickets are also very reasonable, if booked in advance.
