Many students and graduates aspire to an internship or career in the field of the European Union. However, it is not always easy to find one’s way around and find the right path to one’s goal.
To learn more about working in these areas and the opportunities available for students, graduates, and young professionals, the fourth series of monthly online meetings dedicated to various professional profiles will continue in April. Guests will share insight into their daily work, the educational and professional journey that led them to Brussels, and offer first-hand advice.
Our next guest is Claudio Francavilla Associate Director, EU Advocacy at Human Rights Watch
Claudio Francavilla joined Human Rights Watch in 2014 and has since been conducting advocacy towards the EU institutions – including the European External Action Service (EEAS), the Commission, the Council and the European Parliament – on the EU’s human rights foreign policy, focusing mainly on Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, and EU trade policy.
Before joining Human Rights Watch in 2014, Claudio interned with Search for Common Ground, a peace-building NGO, first in Liberia and then in Brussels. He holds a M.A. in Human Rights and Conflict Management from Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, Pisa, Italy, and a Law Degree from the Catholic University of Milan.
