Intern at Habibi Center
The Habibi Intern Program
The Habibi Center offers a wonderful opportunity for interns from diverse backgrounds to gain valuable experience. Our program allows interns to combine their academic knowledge with hands-on work experience with refugees. This provides them with a unique perspective on refugee issues. To support this, we have created the Habibi Center Internship program.
What is it like to Intern at Habibi Center?
Ariel
The University of Hung Kong
I am Ariel, a third-year medical student studying at the University of Hong Kong. The Enrichment Year program offered by the university provides us with the opportunity to explore the world and become a well-rounded, mature doctor. I was eager to step out of my comfort zone and learn beyond the boundaries of my home country. That’s when I discovered Habibi Center, which offered me everything I wished for. I feel proud of myself for making such a life-changing decision.
Hugo
Engineering Company
I am Hugo and I work in an engineering office that specializes in energy issues. Last summer, I had the opportunity to intern at Habibi Center. I was interested in this project because of my previous experience in France where I helped teach IT lessons to children in an orphanage. My time at Habibi Center was a wonderful experience, which allowed me to explore the Greek culture and interact with the children while teaching them IT skills.
Julian
University of Amsterdam
I’m Julian, currently pursuing a Master’s in History and
International Relations. My Habibi Center internship blended academic knowledge with handson experience, offering a fresh perspective on refugee issues. Embracing diversity, I believe in bridging gaps and fostering connections. Through shedding light on resilient kids’ stories, I aim to contribute positively to a better future for Europe and its refugees.
Sarah
University of Amsterdam
I’m Sarah and my internship was part of the master Multilingualism and Dutch as a Second language at the University of Amsterdam.
The main goal of the internship was to gain more experience in an organisation that provides second language education. Besides
teaching English, I learned how to assess new students, support new teachers and providing new teaching material.
