Looking to kick-start your communications career in the capital of Europe?

Are you creative, curious, and passionate about design, video, and storytelling? Would you like to develop your skills while discovering the world of European projects, international organisations, and EU affairs?

No previous professional experience is required. We’re particularly interested in people at the beginning of their careers who want to develop their skills through practical experience. Bonus points if you’re curious about EU institutions, NGOs, Erasmus+ projects, or European affairs!

Location and availability: This is a Brussels-based hybrid position. Given our intended starting date, priority will be given to candidates already living in Belgium or able to relocate to Belgium and join us in late November 2026.
