A Valuable Learning Opportunity
June 16, 2025by: Rineke Ude - NetherlandsProgram: Gender Equality & Reproductive Health Internship in Ecuador
During my 4-month internship with El Terreno, I learned a lot about myself, both professionally and personally. I had the privilege of designing a pilot project, which gave me experience in every step of project design. This was incredibly valuable, as it gave me a more practical understanding of my strengths and weaknesses in this area. Now, I can focus on fine-tuning the aspects I enjoyed and where I found my strengths. I also really appreciated the immersion in the culture, and the close connection to local people which El Terreno provides. I was also supported by mentors who guided me throughout the internship and from whom I learned a great deal. The El Terreno internship program is perfect for students who have a clear sense of direction and are interested in hands-on projects.
