Looking forward to watching this video! Im from Canada and I spent my academic exchange semester in Belgium and am trying to move back. Have applied for EU citizenship through my father’s side and waiting to hear back. Hopefully that’ll open some doors! Thanks for the video!

Thank you for this video and tips! Have you ever thought about running for the office and becoming a MEP yourself?

[@JustBrusselsThings]

Absolutely not 🤣😅 They work way too much - also every weekend. They are under a lot of pressure. I am also not very good at public speaking, nor do I have an opinion about everything. There are also too many politicians with political science/economy degrees, I really miss politicians with actual work experience outside politics (the one I work for has real work experience, not politics related, and that is amazing!). I see myself much more suited for an advisory role rather than becoming a MEP.

As an EU enthusiast i am disheartened to learn those details - but sadly not surprised.

Applying within the EU system can be really really tough!

Is it necessary to have a Master's Degree to access internships/traineeships in the EU?

[@JustBrusselsThings]

You need to have completed at least a Bachelor degree! ☀️ traineeships.ec.europa.eu/who-can-apply_en
