Brobyggerne is looking for an academic intern

Would you rather spend a semester working at an active NGO than sitting in a lecture hall? Are you interested in helping to prevent polarization and strengthen dialogue between different groups in society? If so, you’re the intern we’re looking for.

Brobyggerne was founded to strengthen dialogue and democratic discourse in Denmark. We launch projects and develop tools that foster dialogue and, in turn, democracy—among individuals, within organizations, and across institutions. You can learn more about us at www.brobyggerne.dk.

As an academic intern, you’ll gain experience working at a rapidly growing NGO. We currently have two major projects— Grøn Dialogkaffe and Fordomsbryderne—which you’ll become a part of and help run, both of which focus on young people. You’ll help plan activities and make your mark on our work. You will also be involved in launching new projects.

It’s important for our work that the outside world is aware of what we do. A significant part of your internship will therefore also involve communication and social media. You don’t need to have extensive experience in this area, but it’s definitely an advantage if you have an eye for aesthetics and storytelling.

Your responsibilities

• Assist in planning and implementing project activities, e.g., courses and theme weeks
• Contribute to project development and/or the launch of new projects
• Participate in the planning of communication strategies for the association’s projects and
• activities
• Production of content for Brobyggerne's social media and website
• Help maintain ongoing communication with members, residents, and the media
• Ad hoc tasks within the association

About you

We are looking for someone who…

• Currently enrolled in a higher education program
• You have a way with words and, ideally, experience with social media and communication in general
• Has experience with, and recognizes the importance of, good planning and coordination
• Can work independently, is organized, and takes responsibility for your tasks

Terms and Conditions of the Internship

• The internship is 30–37 hours per week, starting in September and lasting through the semester.
• There may be activities held outside of normal office hours that we’d like you to join. We will, of course, take your needs into account, including your need to attend classes and do your writing.
• The internship is unpaid and meets the requirements for ECTS credits

Brobyggerne is a visionary organization with over 10,000 members, where what each of us brings to the table makes a big difference to our working community. We love discussing current issues and laughing together, even when we’re busy. We’re based in central Copenhagen and share facilities with other cross-cultural organizations.
