Course description
Flexible dedication, real responsibility
Interns dedicate approximately 12-15 hours per week to their placement, adjusting to the host institution’s rhythm while maintaining a balanced academic load. Each student receives a tailored work plan according to their area of interest, level of Spanish, and previous experience. The goal is to provide a meaningful role within the organization, ensuring both learning and contribution.
Continuous support on both sides
Internships are supervised both by a local mentor at the host institution and by a GRIIS academic advisor. The internal supervisor ensures daily integration and task fulfillment, while GRIIS follows up with regular evaluations, offering feedback, guidance and help with conflict resolution. This dual supervision ensures academic rigor and personal growth throughout the experience.
A structured experience with academic reflection
Students are expected to keep a reflective journal documenting weekly progress, challenges, and learning outcomes. At the end of the placement, they submit a final paper that connects their internship experience with broader cultural and academic contexts. This combination of practice and analysis reinforces professional development and intercultural understanding.
