Twice a year, in spring and autumn, we offer internships. We are also frequently looking for volunteers, for example for our annual Africa Day.
We currently have no vacancies open.

I have learned an enormous amount at the FMS! You are included in the organisation from day one, are given a lot of responsibility, with good support, and there is a lot of freedom to immerse yourself in topics and areas you find important and interesting. You are close to politics so no day is the same. In addition, this team makes you feel right at home!

My internship at the FMS has given me an enormous amount of knowledge and experience in a relatively short time. From writing and publishing articles to valuable experience in organising events. At work, I was given plenty of space to contribute personal ideas and was also well supported and trusted with every task. The team at FMS clearly has heart, is motivated and welcomes you with open arms!

At the FMS, as an intern, you are fully included in the work and supervised incredibly well. As a result, you not only learn a lot, but you also hardly feel like 'just' an intern. You are given many responsibilities and can work independently. Especially as a change from studying, this internship is highly recommended. You get a lot of practical experience and learn how to apply knowledge!

My internship at FMS was a period full of new experiences and insights. You are close to politics and civil society. This made me think a lot about my own future. You engage with important issues and learn an awful lot about the countries where we operate. It is great to be part of this close-knit team brimming with knowledge and energy where you are given the freedom to delve into topics you find interesting.

I learnt an awful lot during my FMS internship. On the one hand, you gain an enormous amount of knowledge about the countries we work in. On the other hand, you also learn a lot on a practical level. You are given a lot of freedom to come up with your own ideas and develop in areas you consider important. You are fully part of the team because of the pleasant cooperation and good atmosphere.

The FMS is a smooth and super motivating working environment, but also very sociable. This internship is a great opportunity to learn a lot in terms of content and practically about development cooperation and the development work of the FMS. I felt involved and taken seriously, which made me feel at ease and enabled me to learn a lot.
