Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Cambodia offers interested students the opportunity to get to know the international work of the Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation on-site during an internship and to work on our projects. You should have an understanding of and interest in political contexts. Special knowledge of Cambodian politics, society, and economy is an advantage. Interns should have a strong interest in living in a foreign country and working in a multicultural environment.
