internship, I was supported in regular Zoom meetings with both my supervisor, the head of the Regional Office, and other members of the team. Daily Life Given that the internship was based around Jordan time (UK+2 hours), my daily schedule allowed me to vary my routine, with a finish earlier in the afternoon than if I had been working in person. This allowed me to go out and enjoy the UK summer in a greater variety of ways! Lasting Impressions It was fascinating to gain an insight on working within the UN system, especially from the perspective of a cross-cutting agency like UNV. Given that they work with so many different parts of the UN system, I was able to gain an appreciation of a variety of aspects of the work of UN agencies. It was also very interesting to be involved with the 2020 Global Technical Meeting on Reimagining Volunteering, to see the interaction of many international volunteer stakeholders.
