Community newspaper intern
December 17, 2020by: Maeghan P - CanadaProgram: Politics and Government (Legal/Political) InternshipFor track two, ms. shiela assigned us to cover politics for a community newspaper. Was able to interview a Filipino politician about his stand on divorce. Honestly I don’t agree but i respect everyones opinions. also covered a protest in manila's town centre. Philippines is a great country to visit nevertheless.
Worked for a political advocacy group
December 17, 2020by: Yanne Williams - United StatesProgram: Politics and Government (Legal/Political) InternshipI am grateful for this internship. I was assigned on Track One, and I worked for a political advocacy group. I am very particular about women’s rights and human rights in general so I was very excited to work with NGOs that support those causes. We were tasked to draft bills and witness some assemblies. I wanna be government official one day so this is a great start.
