The Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) is seeking a Communications + Public Affairs Intern to help strengthen our online presence and share the inspiring work happening across our international network. In this role, you’ll use your creativity, writing skills, and visual communication abilities to produce compelling content that highlights our programmes, celebrates impact, and builds an active and engaged online community.
THE INTERNSHIP
As our Communications + Public Affairs Intern, you will play a key role in shaping the organisation’s digital voice. This internship offers valuable hands-on experience in climate and sustainability communications, giving you the opportunity to create content, support campaigns, and collaborate with programme and communications teams across FEE.

Design engaging visuals and short videos using Canva (strong Canva skills are required).

We value equality, diversity and inclusion in our workplace and encourage all applicants with a matching profile to apply.
We offer flexible working hours and a balanced setup with both remote and in-office work. We are a small but mighty team of 25 people in a lovely open office by Sydhavn’s new canal district with plenty of opportunities for summer canal swimming and social activities by the water.
