I undertook my internship at the Africa Refugee Development Center (ARDC), as a coordinator for the Education for Humanity program. Through this experience, I enhanced my theoretical and practical skills in monitoring and evaluating development projects. Secondly, I gained a deeper understanding of the causes and effects of current global development problems including poverty, inequality, climate change, conflicts, and migration.

Following my work on Intractable, a podcast investigating the Israel-Palestine Conflict through audio storytelling, I was drawn towards GLOCAL, as a means of exploring further the intersections of conflict, peace-building, economic development, and migration. For my GLOCAL internship, Skyler worked at Mesila, a south Tel Aviv-based organization working with families from the city’s asylum-seeking and migrant worker communities.

I chose to intern in Kav LaOved (KLO) in Tel Aviv. My internship in KLO and my studies at Glocal have brought me to understand the importance of community resilience, and what can be done to preserve and develop it. Glocal has broadened my horizons, supporting my creativity and making me able to design special projects, for the organization and for the asylum-seeking community both of whom are now facing an impossible reality.

I conducted my 4-month internship with a grassroots NGO called Apne Aap Women’s Collective (AAWC) located in Mumbai's red-light district, which supports women in prostitution and their children, in order to prevent “second-generation trafficking” into the sex industry. There, I assisted the organization with its communication and fundraising efforts and created and led a series of life-skills workshops for its beneficiary girls.

For my GLOCAL internship, I worked at the Practical Permaculture Institute of Zanzibar, Tanzania. This institute, operating since 2016, provides permaculture education to a wide range of populations, local and international, reaching more than 700 people in Tanzania and worldwide. I carried out two projects at PPIZ which included collating qualitative data, analysis, and writing a final report with recommendations.

During the internship component of the Glocal program, I was a Programs Officer at IsraAID. Glocal helped me to build a comprehensive and broad perspective of International Development and its complexities. My internship brought me closer to the everyday challenges of this field while balancing the needs, the possibilities, and the potential of all stakeholders. Hence, Glocal was an exciting opportunity to acquire tools and knowledge about humanitarianism, community work, gender, and feminism.
