Program Overview
Internships in PR, Communications, and Journalism across India, Kosovo, and Spain offer dynamic, hands-on experiences that empower you to create meaningful content, drive strategic communication efforts, and amplify important voices through digital and traditional media.
In India, the rapid pace of digital transformation has opened up exciting opportunities for storytellers and media professionals. Interns work with innovative companies that have partnered with over 100 clients, gaining experience in journalism, content writing, digital marketing, and graphic design. From crafting compelling brand narratives to supporting social media strategies and marketing campaigns, you'll contribute to impactful projects that shape business strategy and public engagement.
Beyond corporate communications, India’s media organizations are using journalism, film, podcasts, and photography to advocate for pressing social issues like human rights, gender equity, healthcare, and environmental sustainability. Through investigative storytelling and grassroots communication, these organizations aim to inform, inspire, and drive positive change across communities.
In Kosovo, Europe’s youngest nation, media plays a critical role in building democracy and safeguarding access to reliable information. Interns in journalism collaborate with organizations focused on investigative reporting that uncovers political corruption, social injustices, environmental concerns, and human rights violations. In a country where disinformation poses a major threat to democracy and national security, your work contributes to transparency, accountability, and informed civic engagement.
Additionally, Kosovo's growing digital landscape offers opportunities in public relations and digital marketing. Despite the country's delayed access to technology, digital tools are now central to communication and advocacy. Interns help develop creative PR campaigns and digital strategies that raise awareness and mobilize support for social welfare, economic development, and sustainability. You'll play a part in strengthening community voices and shaping public discourse through modern communication channels.
In Spain, the bustling media and tech industries provide the perfect launchpad for aspiring PR and communications professionals. Interns dive into fast-paced environments where they manage social media channels, craft engaging content, build brand partnerships, and monitor campaign performance. Working alongside local experts, you’ll develop a strong foundation in PR, digital strategy, and cross-cultural communication.
Whether collaborating with startups, creative agencies, or nonprofit organizations, you’ll gain valuable, real-world experience while immersing yourself in a vibrant, multicultural setting that sharpens your skills and broadens your global outlook.
Across all three countries, these internships provide a platform to explore how media and communication can influence public opinion, promote transparency, and advocate for positive change. Whether you're reporting the truth, designing content, or building strategic outreach, you'll be contributing to efforts that inform, inspire, and connect people across the globe.
