The traineeship is not only a great opportunity to get insight on the functioning of EU, improve your work-related skills and build your professional network.
In this highly tolerant and multicultural environment you gain a special set of interpersonal skills and possibly even lifelong friendships.
The traineeship for me was a constant reminder of why...
