European Friends of Armenia (EuFoA, www.eufoa.org) is a young and growing NGO which seeks to build bridges between Europe and Armenia. We are now seeking a highly motivated student to join our team as unpaid student intern. The applicant will be trained in all aspects of NGO work and will become an integral part of our team.
The objectives of the internship are:
  • To provide an in-depth understanding of the workings of a non-governmental organization;
  • To introduce the trainee to and actively engage him/her in the practices employed by European Friends of Armenia for reaching the objectives set out in the organization’s agenda;
  • To further develop a range of skills such as team-work, research, communication, data processing and translation;
  • To improve knowledge of the EU, its institutions and foreign policy; of EU-Armenia relations and of the politics of the Caucasus.
Requirements:

  • you have to have your own funding through your university, an EU programme or some other grant
  • you have to possess a valid work permit for Belgium or be enrolled in a Belgian university (which means that if, for example, you are a Romanian/Russian/Armenian student in Paris, unfortunately you cannot apply)
The duties of the trainee will include:

  • Drafting political correspondence
