Over 100 interns spend two days in ‘Boot camp’, getting familiarized with each other and Internship Programme

Two sunny days, 8 and 9 of July, were historical for the 120+ interns of the two Internship programmes – one joint of the European Union and the Government of the Republic of Moldova and that financed from the national budget – as they got familiarized with each other, Programme peculiarities, and strengthened their soft skills.

A boot camp is organized yearly at the beginning of the Internship Programme, to provide the young people the possibility to establish closer ties, explore cooperation possibilities and integrate smoothly in the Programme.

The boot camp is the first in a series of capacity building events which awaits the participants of this year’s edition – with many more seminars, workshops, and informal networking events ahead. It was organized in the framework of the EU- and Denmark-funded project ‘Moldova is Europe – Support for EU Integration’ jointly with the State Chancellery, Centre for University Information, and Soros Moldova Foundation.

The joint Internship Programme comprises this year 64 interns who will spend two summer months working hand in hand with civil servants in public institutions, receiving a 250 Euro monthly scholarship, funded by the European Union and Denmark.
