Mansi Mishra    

My name is Mansi Mishra and I am thrilled to share with you the enriching journey of my traineeship. She is currently  intern at Educa International,o.p.s. responsible for social media content and podcast. The opportunity enabled me to gain valuable insights into the field of social media content production whilst being situated in one of Europe's most vibrant cities – Prague, Czech Republic. At EDUCA O.P.S International, I was exposed to a plethora of learning opportunities that allowed me to broaden my knowledge base and hone new skills pertinent to this dynamic industry.
Furthermore, this experience has been particularly meaningful as it resonated immensely with both personal and academic pursuits. Having embarked on a second bachelor program specializing in European culture and society from Europa Universität Flensburg has created an alignment between theoretical concepts learned within academia and their practical application during the traineeship program. In conclusion, words cannot express how grateful I am for such an exhilarating experience that not only equipped me professionally but also personally uplifted me. She used to be a trainee at the Educa International from April to August 2023.
