Brussels, Belgique ECIT Foundation Temps plein

INVITATION TO JOIN OUR BRUSSELS TEAM

The ECIT Foundation is looking for new interns to join its Brussels team from mid-August.

The ECIT (European Citizens rights, Involvement and Trust) Foundation is the organisation of reference on European citizenship. Located near the European Parliament in Brussels, the foundation serves as a centre for research, dialogue and knowledge-exchange among academics, civil society activists and policy-makers.

One of the guiding principles of the ECIT Foundation is to let young people take the lead with high profile projects. Do you believe it’s time young Europeans were given real responsibility and the chance to engage directly with EU officials, MEPs, the media and a wider circle of European partners? If so, joining our team could well be the answer.

We want to enlarge our team to expand two areas of our activities:

- Pursuing our flagship ‘Voters without Borders’ (VWB) European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) demanding full political rights for mobile European citizens. We are looking for someone to build on this initiative to turn VWB into a permanent structure of the foundation.
- Helping to organise high-level events, including quarterly meetings of the cross-party group of MEPs on European citizenship, the ECIT Annual Conference and other upcoming events.

To support these activities, we are looking for interns with skills in communication, advocacy & event organisation.
