Even though I was based outside of the "European Bubble" and did my traineeship at a Representation of the European Commission, I still got a valuable insight into the Commission's work and definitely gained new knowledge, developped new skills and met great people along the way who I now call friends.

I am grateful to have been given an opportunity to do a traineeship at the European Commission as it allowed me to contribute to the work which I believe is meaningful and vital for the lives of people across Europe and beyond.
