Abstract

The degree in Modern Languages is offered by the University of Los Andes. The main goal of the School of Modern Languages is training professionals with high levels in linguistic, cultural and communication skills in the Spanish language and in two modern languages. This degree also offers different professional options. In my case, I chose International Organizations. One of the requirements to complete this degree is to do an internship closely related to, in my case, International Organizations. In this report, I will present the main activities and duties I performed during my internship in the United Nations Association in Venezuela, (ANUV by its Spanish acronym). An internship is an opportunity in which students can apply and put into practice all the knowledge acquired during school. This working experience also allows students to improve their abilities and skills in their professional area. The students have this opportunity thanks to the agreements established between the University of Los Andes and other institutions. I had the opportunity to do my internship at The United Nations Association in Venezuela, thanks to the agreement signed between this international organization and the University of Los Andes. The United Nations Association in Venezuela was the option I chose to do my internship in order to put into practice all the knowledge I acquired not only as a student, but also as a humanitarian person. I really appreciated the great opportunity to do my internship in this Host Institution because ANUV is more than an international organization, it promotes social programs. ANUV has programs to make a change in the world such as promoting educational values programs based on the culture of peace to support the construction of a better world, among others. This internship, then, was a good experience not only because I put into practice my English skills but also because I observed and learnt how this international organization operates. ANUV is a non-profit non-governmental international organization; it is directly attached to The World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA) and supported by the United Nations, an organization of independent states formed in 1995 to promote international peace and security. ANUV’s mission is rigorously impartial and non-political, through a continuous action, expressed through its different programs. ANUV’s mission is to inform and promote a sustainable national structure, comprising a comprehensive global network for the dissemination of the principles and mission of the United Nations. This report is about my experience as an intern at The United Nations Association in Venezuela. I provide a summary about the different activities and the main tasks and duties that I performed in this international organization. This report is divided into four sections: the first section of this report describes the profile of the Host institution where I did my internship; I mention some historical and organizational information about The United Nations Association in Venezuela and the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA). Additionally, I provide a brief list of the main programs of these organizations. The second section is the Nature of the internship, in which I describe the main tasks and duties that I performed as an office assistant at ANUV in order to carry out my internship. The third section is my Reflection essay, in this part I present my reflection and perceptions before, during and after my internship. This essay is focused on The Importance of the English language in our professional and personal environment. Lastly, I present my conclusion from all experiences I lived during my internship and some recommendations that I offer to both the international organization and to the School of Modern Languages.
