“I will forever treasure this experience and use what I learned to pursue a law degree or graduate degree and further onto a career in international or European politics. With confidence, I can easily say that up to this point, this was the most important and enjoyable experience of my life.”

“With CDS organizing my internship positions, accomodations, and a monthly stipend, I was able to devote my time to understanding and contributing to the Bavarian and North Rhine-Westphalia Landtage. I found that I left wanting to learn much more about German regional politics but came back with a wealth of experience and a new perception of Germany which can be used well beyond the sphere of politics.”
