EU Affairs Intern

UNRWA is the largest United Nations agency operating in the Middle East and provides education, health, social services, and humanitarian aid to 5.9 million Palestine refugees living in West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.

The UNRWA Representative Office for Europe works at the crossroads of advocacy, representation, and communication, liaising with different EU institutions and services such as the European Parliament, the European Commission, the European External Action Service, as well as with EU member states. To help us in this, we are looking for an EU Affairs Intern to join our well-tuned Brussels Team for a challenging but exciting 5-6-month full-time voluntary internship, starting in September 2024.

The internship will focus on supporting the daily work of a small, multicultural team of experts to which you will be fully integrated. You will leave having gained specific knowledge on advocacy, communication and outreach at EU level, and insights on the work of the EU institutions in the realm of foreign policy and humanitarian aid.

Remuneration: Unpaid. (Regrettably, UNRWA cannot offer trainees any form of financial compensation. For this reason, we strongly encourage applicants with the possibility to obtain some kind of subsidy or sponsorship from third parties and universities e.g. Erasmus Placements, government grants, etc.)

Interviews are planned to take place during the last week of July 2024 Projected start of the internship is September 2024. Due to the large number of applications that we receive, we are unable to respond to each individual candidate. Only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.
