  • Internships
    are for students currently enrolled in a program requiring an internship, thesis, or doctoral work as part of their curriculum.
  • International volunteering
    is for recent graduates, students (outside of their curriculum), unemployed individuals, retirees, etc., who want to professionalise themselves or volunteer in our projects. The required profiles are the same as for interns. This can potentially enrich your CV with field experience.
  • Volunteers
    are anyone who has some time and wants to volunteer in our daily or occasional activities in Belgium. This collaboration does not necessarily require prior knowledge or training. We sometimes need assistance (extra hands).
  • Student jobs
    may also be sought in certain cases for short-term tasks. Their remuneration is that of a student job.

For Projects in the South

(whether at the headquarters in Belgium or in the field)

  • You have a clear idea of an internship/volunteering opportunity (such as a specific internship title with a professor or thesis work: limited theme, detailed subject), for a minimum duration of 3 months. ONLY proposals expressed in the form of a specific project will be considered.
  • You are an expert (professional) in a subject relevant to our projects, and you believe you can help us by intervening practically in the field (not in paperwork) for even a short duration (minimum 15 days). Your proposal may also interest us.
