Internship
[Employer hidden — view at passion-project.co.uk]
Gain valuable practical skills
Internships at [Employer hidden] are a great opportunity to gain some hands-on experience within different areas of sustainability. This ranges from agro-ecology, communication, ecosystem restoration, environmental education, sustainable living skills or appropriate technology. We provide the space and support for self-driven education.
Our internships fall into two categories, General and Research internships. Below you can find more information about them!
Our internships are typically funded by the Erasmus+ program as part of your university studies. Please check with your university's internships and mobility department if there are funds available to carry out your internship with us.
To help keep [Employer hidden] as a project running and accessible to everyone, we use a “bottle” pricing system. This means the amount you pay depends on your financial situation. This system is based on shared responsibility and individual circumstances. The minimum contribution is 400€ per month, which covers your basic costs, including accommodation and three meals a day.
If you receive funding from a university or organisation, a higher contribution (or ‘bottle’) helps support both the project and other participants who have a lower budget. If you don’t have enough funding or any, a lower pricing option may be more suitable for you. We ask you to choose the bottle according to the amount you receive for funding or what you can afford if you don’t have funding. After that we decide together on the right contribution through a conversation:
Bottle 1: You can contribute 750€ per month (Paying 22€+ a day). This should leave you with sufficient money to cover extra expenses, such as travel and pocket money.
Bottle 2: You can contribute 650-700€ per month (Paying 17€ a day). This should leave you with sufficient money to cover extra expenses, such as travel and pocket money.
Bottle 3: You can contribute 400-600€ per month (Paying 13€ a day). This should leave you with sufficient money to cover extra expenses, such as travel and pocket money.
This is always an open conversation, and please don't hestitate to reach out if you any questions!
