Sadly, the Banteay Chhmar complex was severely looted throughout the 1990s because of its remote location and proximity to the Thai border. Now considered one of the most endangered sites in the world, the complex is in desperate need of renovation. Journey to an ancient temple complex to help with historical and cultural restoration. Your efforts won't only bring a much-needed boost to the local economy, but also hope to the local community!

Gender Equality & Reproductive Health Internship in Ecuador

Dive into a hands-on, personalized internship focusing on gender equality, especially in education and sexual health, within low-income Indigenous communities. THE CHALLENGE In nearby rural communities, teenage pregnancy is around 26%, and women face economic, social, and educational barriers. This stems from a prevalent machista culture and a lack of education and resources that enable women to make empowered choices. THE SOLUTION Gender roles can play a valid family function, but everyone should have a voice and equal opportunities, especially in education, work, and reproductive health. As an intern, you’ll help identify key problems and co-create sustainable solutions with community members, schools, and other stakeholders. OUR METHODOLOGY Our internships use Design Thinking to co-create solutions with local stakeholders. You will learn to observe, ideate, and prototype in real contexts, building skills while supporting sustainable change. During weekends—or before and after your stay—you will also have the chance to explore Ecuador’s incredible diversity, from the Amazon rainforest to the Galápagos Islands.

A Guide to Economic Internships Abroad

Why Intern Abroad in Economics

Internships abroad can be life changing experiences. Not only will you face the impressive challenge of adapting to the workplace of a country you are not familiar with, but you will also grow immensely by traveling the world and learning firsthand about life in a different cultural environment. Economics can be a highly quantitative discipline, but it is undeniable that qualitative social and cultural forces shape the marketplace as much as any other factors. Economics internships abroad will give you a far deeper insight into how these phenomena play out internationally, and also prove to be the adventure of a lifetime.
