What I liked
Working as a Global Fellow among the Human Connections team has been one of the most unique, exciting and enriching experiences of my life so far. In only five months, I have considerably improved my Spanish and learnt multiple skills in various fields, from marketing to videography through human resources. They gave me major responsibilities such as creating video content, developing an outreach strategy, organising a fundraiser, and much more. As a French person, being immersed in Mexican culture and working with people from North America was at first destabilising because I was not familiar with neither of them. But, I have had the opportunity to meet very talentuous, inspiring, and open-minded people whom have given me a new perspective of the world. I went back to France a few weeks ago, and I realised that, this internship is also, and mostly, a cross-cultural and human experience as it helped me grow not only on a professional level but also on a personal level.
