Suggestions for Future Interns This internship programme is very educational and suitable for young liberals, especially those who are involved directly or indirectly in the political movement in their respective countries. This programme provides an excellent platform for the interns to explore the political situation in Europe, as well as to learn the history and functioning of the European Parliament in practice. Some of my suggestions for the future internship programme: · I would like to suggest that this internship period be at least 2 months. Interns need more time to study in-depth on certain topic chosen. One month is merely enough for a basic understanding of the European Parliament, and just allows the stagiaire to start adapting to a new living environment. · Interns should be given a topic for report writing upon their arrival in the European Parliament. There should also be either the group administrator or a mentor to guide the interns around the European Parliament on their first day of arrival. · Confirmation of application for future intern should be announced at least one month earlier prior to the actual internship period. Here are some of my suggestions for the benefits of the future interns: · Interns should equip themselves with the basic background of the European Parliament by visiting its official website: http://www.europarl.ep.ec . Interns are advised to also keep an eye on the current issues happening in Europe – http://europa.eu.int/news/index_en.htm · Interns may contact the previous interns of the same programme, if he/she needs further advice on the logistic arrangement, experience sharing, etc. CALD may set up an ALUMNI corner in the website, a gathering platform for all the past and future interns to exchange their experiences and views in this internship programme. · It is advisable to bring along a French/Dutch dictionary or language guidebook during the internship period. In Brussels, French is widely used in the community.
