Romania: Rural Areas

Description

Are you interested in Eastern European culture? Interning in Romania may be just the thing for you! Romania is situated in Eastern Europe and is bordered by a host of European countries, as well as the Black Sea. Romania is a country rich in natural resources as well as history and culture. As an intern in Romania, you will be traveling to the rural village of Valea Screzii, which is located in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains. Be prepared for a blast from the past – the local way of life has not changed drastically over the past 100 years! But don’t let this deter you – United Planet volunteers describe the residents of the village as some of the most joyful and genuine people they have ever met. The country is a democratic nation, and has enjoyed rapid economic growth in the 2000?s. However, the country has recently suffered a recession, and many people in Romania still live in poverty.

United Planet’s community development internships have the goal of making a positive impact on local communities by connecting interns with host organizations in their desired field. The intern’s tasks are determined by the host organization but can include designing/implementing a project, writing a report, conducting a survey, creating and executing activities and conducting training. Interns will gain practical experience with nonprofit or grassroots organizations while developing skills that will be applicable to a variety of organizations. This valuable work experience will help interns explore potential career paths while contributing to meaningful projects in communities abroad.
