The difference between a volunteering program and an internship is based on their aims and objectives. A volunteering program focuses on contributing to the local communities and environment, and they do not require academic or professional qualifications. Whereas Internships are primarily focused on providing a professional real-life experience to the interns in their career field by working with a local organization.

The internship period has a minimum of 4 weeks (1 month) and a maximum of 12 weeks (3 months). Longer periods can be discussed.

Extensions and customizations of internships are possible depending on the availability. In case of such requests, you can directly contact us and we will assist you.

The intern accommodation has twin sharing rooms, shared bathrooms and work area. You will be sharing the accommodation with other like-minded interns in a local neighbourhood.
