I did my internship in a social organization that works as a link or network between civil society organizations in Argentina and international donors. My work has been diverse, since the number of volunteers and interns is high and there is a variety of tasks to be done. I have translated documents, created presentations and articles for the organization´s website. I have also reviewed reports on Argentina´s current situation (economy, society, environment, health), and worked with statistics and graphs for the Directory of partners of the organization.
My experience has allowed me to meet and interact with people from Argentina and other countries. The people that work there have been very kind and attentive, and made me feel very comfortable.

This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to spend two enriching months in Barcelona working with a human rights NGO dedicated to supporting LGBTQ immigrants and refugees. Over the course of this summer, I gained meaningful professional experience in social work, particularly with asylum seekers and immigrants. I also gained invaluable insights into multiculturalism and outreach in a remarkably short period. Additionally, I further honed my translation skills for legal...

I am beyond grateful for Connect-123 and my internship experience in Barcelona. It is the most amazing city with so much to see and do. My internship experience allowed me to grow both professionally and personally which I have no doubt will hugely benefit me in the future. I will cherish the experiences I have had over the past 2 months forever!

My internship in Barcelona was absolutely incredible. My goals for my time there, to get hands-on experience in the Human Rights field and improve my Spanish, were both reached beyond my expectations. I spent two months working for a small Human Rights NGO, where I was assigned to a project that allowed me to improve my research, analytical skills, and Spanish literacy skills. Since the office was so small, it...

My internship in Barcelona was one of the most interesting and innovating experiences of my life. I learned so much interning with a Human Rights NGO who aided different refugees and immigrants in Barcelona. The internship not only gave me the opportunity to learn about human rights in another country, but also to expand my Spanish and immerse myself in Spanish life and culture. Connect-123 was there to provide me...

I am really glad I came across Connect-123. I did not have any requirements to satisfy for university courses but was looking to expand my horizons with work experience overseas. Connect-123 made the process comfortable and easy. They were very contactable and responsive. Once in Barcelona too they were very accommodating. All of the staff members are very reliable and made me feel like I had a trustworthy point of...

From start to finish, Connect-123 helped to make my internship more than enjoyable. I felt very comfortable throughout the entire process, and the placement process was smooth and controlled! I ended up finding two great internships to keep me busy for my two months in Barcelona. I have no doubt that they will both be very valuable experience to back up my CV in the future, and I learned a...

Barcelona is the place to be-between its people, tapas, countless outdoor plazas, beautiful scenery, beaches and nightlife-there is something for everyone. My decision to go live and work in Barcelona was last minute. I was offered two internships, but the one I chose pertained to my career path most and was in the heart of Barca. I cannot emphasize how helpful it was to be a part of the Connect-123...

My Connect-123 experience has been great! The team connected me to all kinds of opportunities and to all of the people who have made it possible for me to have the eye-opening experience that I have had in Barcelona. There was tons of flexibility in every step of the process and everything has personalized around my goals and desires. I have found the perfect balance of support and independent decision-making...
