Internship at the V-Dem Institute in Sweden

I spent ten weeks as an intern at the Varieties of Democracy Institute (V-Dem), located at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. V-Dem is internationally renowned for its complex and methodologically robust measurement of democracy, which it achieves by processing large volumes of expert-coded data through its measurement model, resulting in the annually updated V-Dem dataset. The dataset offers fine-grained measures of various aspects of democracy for virtually every country in the world from as far back as 1789. In all this, the V-Dem Institute in Gothenburg serves as the backbone of the wider V-Dem project, made up of numerous affiliated researchers, methods experts, regional coordinators, and country experts all over the world.

Engaging with Children’s Rights and Community in Athens

I learned of the possibility to volunteer for Network for Children’s right because of a coincidence: My flatmate in Berlin met someone working for their German partner Respekt für Griechenland in the train and I took the occasion to go to Athens and have a outstanding experience: Respect for Griechenland sends volunteers to Greek Partner organisation in order to foster Greek-German Relations and mutual understanding and also to be solidaric with Greece after the problems that came to the country with the financial crisis and the refugee crisis.

Helping Wildlife in France

‘Wildlife co-exists alongside humans and domestic animals. Wildlife populates ecosystems across the planet, whether it be in the seas, or roaming freely across forests and savannahs. Each species contributes to the balance of the ecosystem they live in. The health of wildlife is deeply entwined with the health of other animals, the environment and even humans. By protecting wildlife health, we safeguard biodiversity- and invest in a healthier, more sustainable future.’
-WOAH

WOAH, as the global authority on animal health, plays a pivotal role in addressing emerging issues in animal health, including those related to wildlife. The Wildlife Health Program (WHP) was established to promote the growth of surveillance systems for wildlife health and advocate for increased importance and visibility.
