Volunteering & Internships
Our centre offers opportunities for volunteering, practical placement, and internship experience.
Over time, the Centre has hosted groups of students who completed the compulsory practical placement for their university studies with us. The students interviewed foreigners living in Brașov who are members of our centre and their interviews were published in specialized magazines such as “Migrant in Romania.”
Therefore, we are proud of our collaboration with the Faculty of Sociology and Communication and the Faculty of Letters – American Studies section, within the Transilvania University of Brașov.
Our centre has also hosted several volunteers, both foreign and Romanian, who were involved in informational and counselling activities, organizing events, writing articles for specialized magazines and teaching Romanian language courses to migrants.
