A fixed-term internship. The office of Tampere practices divorce, multicultural and youth services. Position included: - Solving of cases. Mostly about family law. - Investigative research and report projects. I created a plain language bilingual case-based guide about special legal rights of immigrants and summarize their contacts and services. It will be used by immigrants, volunteers and by third sector professionals. - Seeking, planning, and applying for new funding opportunities. All operations are project based so the continuation of funding is a permanent concern. For example, I noticed an idea competition for project funding about new ways to recruit volunteers.

I needed to lose some weight so I went to full-time R-rated independent heavy and dangerous physical labour in a poultry plant for the summer. It improved my meticulousness, multitasking and time management skills massively because of the second based timetable and strict hygiene standards.
