Internship Testimonials:

''Working for LSBC has many pros. To start with Nataša and Iztok, who started the entire thing, I can honestly say they are great people to have as your bosses because they explain what needs to be done but leave you a lot of manoeuvring space to do it and they encourage you to be creative and support your ideas. Another thing is definitely the possibility of networking and meeting new people. Additionally, jobs’ working hours are flexible to the extent that you choose when you do your work and you can do it from home and at the same time practice your English since it is the operative language'' (Ana Kosmac, Slovenia).

''LSBC has helped me grow professionally as well as a person and provided me with a sense of European community development opportunities that I am really grateful for. I really recommend this organization and thank the people in front of this NGO (Iztok Petek and Natasa Zajec) for this amazing opportunity'' (Diogo Mendes Silva, Portugal).

''LSBC gave me a unique opportunity to feel an open and flexible environment, meet new people and learn'' (Daniele Montalbano, Italy).
