Fwd: Greens/EFA internship

[Alex Sassmannshausen]

Hello,

Sorry for cross-posting, and I hope this is an appropriate use of the mailing
lists.

As part of my work I have the exciting opportunity to organise a paid
internship. The details are in the email below.

Please feel free to advertise this far and wide, and on socials. The deadline 
is fairly short
unfortunately.

Best wishes,

Alex
