Network 20/20 is looking for an Entrepreneurial Diplomacy Intern from January 2022 to June 2022.
Deadline: 11/19/2021
Mission
Network 20/20 is an inclusive international community that bridges the gap between the private sector and foreign policy worlds. We leverage entrepreneurial, established, and emerging leaders to drive innovative research and solutions to critical foreign policy challenges.
We promote the open exchange of ideas on international affairs and essential people-to-people connections across international borders. We foster a community of diverse, smart, and engaged people, people who come from different countries, faiths, generations, and political views, all of whom are interested in better understanding the various trends and divergent interests that are shaping geo-economics, politics, and culture. We strive to promote the idea of global citizenship—that being an informed citizen of one’s country means understanding the global context and actively contributing one’s ideas and experiences to the conversation.
Description
We are currently seeking an intern who is a highly energetic, tactful, and engaging self-starter who would support Network 20/20’s Entrepreneurial Diplomacy Program and projects focusing on the BOLD Fellowship in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Southeast Europe, and Tunisia. The intern will work closely with the Managing Director to support the implementation and planning of the BOLD Fellowship and other grant management activities. Additionally, the intern will be responsible for various stakeholder & partner outreach and assist with planning logistical aspects related to the BOLD Fellowship.
While the intern will primarily focus on the BOLD Fellowship, they will also have the opportunity to work on other Entrepreneurial Diplomacy Program (EDP) projects including projects on Southeast Europe and Tunisia over the course of the internship. This opportunity is excellent for individuals that want to work within the sphere of entrepreneurship development, public diplomacy, and grant management.
