About IHEYO

Internship Exchange Programme

Deadline for applying for the 2003 internship Programme has passed

The IHEYO in cooperation with CommonSense Enterprises, offers a month-long international internship exchange programme whereby young humanists will have the opportunity to gain insight into a humanist movement in another country and enhance his or her skills. Travel costs and housing expenses as well as a modest stipend will be paid by IHEYO/CommonSense.

Through this programme two to three young people (18-30) will spend four weeks working with a humanist organisation in a country other than their home country. After the internship the intern will be guided to implement a plan for a humanist activity he or she has developed during his or her internship. One of the positions will be at the IHEU/IHEYO office in London.
