Communications Internships in Bordeaux

I was hoping to improve my French and to gain experience toward the goal of discovering what I want to do with a future career and I found both of those goals fulfilled through this process. I also gained so much more than I expected from cultural experiences to friendships to travel and beyond.

I enjoyed my time at Habitat et Humanisme very much and I have met many amazing people including workmates and residents however I assumed as an intern I would have a responsibility or a small role to play within the organization but I did find there was not a lot for me to do aside from socialise with the residents and I was more of a volunteer. Although I do not regret participating in this program at all, I do believe that it was a lot of money for the final product. If I were to do it again or recommend it, there are many ways I could have organised this myself for a lot less money... for example, the French classes were very overpriced for what was delivered and the afternoon "online workshop" classes were not productive. Also to register as a volunteer at the organization I interned with only costs €15. I love this experience and although I would not use World Endeavors again, I very much appreciated being able to just walk into France not having to worry about accomadation or organising anything for myself, it was all done for me :)
