Crossing Borders has been in Aarhus since March and the second internship programme has just started. Meet the team that has been bringing dialogue to Jutland.
CB has been expanding its activities to Aarhus and we have been organizing events such as #InTheSameBoat, making interviews and creating videos to empower youth and, most of all, creating space for dialogue.
The second edition of the CB Aarhus internship will be focused on social media, organizing events and making sure Aarhus multicultural youth is heard loud and clear. We also want to empower our interns by giving them leadership tools that they can use in their own communities and in their future careers. Here is the team making it possible:

I love to travel and to live in different places, I have lived in Portugal, Spain, China, and I have now settled in Denmark. I have a background in Communication and in International Development and I love to write. My goal is to use my abilities and experiences to create the necessary space for dialogue and to make sure every voice is heard. I am passionate about development, feminism, social media and culture.
