Interns play an important role in all parts of our Human Rights work. Interns from various disciplines, i.e. law, politics, social sciences, and also natural and computing sciences can make an important contribution to FIAN's work. Necessary, however, is a strong affinity with human rights and a desire to want to make a difference.
FIAN International offers interships at its International Secretariat in Heidelberg, Germany, and occasionally in some FIAN sections and coordinations.
All vacancies at the FIAN International Secretariat are advertised online. Please see below.
Please note that we do not accept generic application forms nor CVs. Unfortunately, no monetary compensation is given to interns.
Since each FIAN section and coordination retains its own recruitment strategy and policy, please check directly with the respective section or coordination for internship or volunteer vacancies. For contacts, please visit FIAN World Wide.
