Communication Intern

Ola! I am a 29-year-old Spanish journalist and communication assistant who seeks meaningful social changes starting from the bottom up, so joining QUEST seemed like nice idea, isn't it? I studied Journalism in Galicia (Spain) and worked at a news agency for more than seven years, focusing on politics, education and healthcare. My academic journey has taken me to Brussels to pursue a Master's degree in Cross-Cultural Communication Management at KU Leuven, with a specialisation in international relations with Eastern Europe.

Hola! My name is Darío, I'm 24 years old, and I am Spanish-Cuban. After completing my studies in the field of Political Science, I decided to become a volunteer with the ESC. The decision was easy, QUEST gave me an opportunity in a city that I like and in a project that gives me the chance to do something different. As an administrative and fundraising assistant I expect to gain experience and get to know how an NGO such as QUEST works from the inside.
