Life at Wilton Park as an intern

Read 'A week in the life of a Wilton Park intern' from the Wilton Park blog

"It is hard to summarise 6 months into one paragraph and 6 months at Wilton Park is impossible so here is a ‘snapshot.’.......... Starting mid-summer I was greeted by the beautiful surroundings and lunch in the sunny gardens, a brilliant first day. An amazing 6 months have passed since then, working with wonderfully, engaging, supportive  and enthusiastic people. I have thoroughly enjoyed my visits to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, DECC, UKTI, the Commonwealth Club and many others, learning and practicing so many useful skills and listening to fantastic speakers whilst sitting in on conference sessions. When I drive down Mouse lane for the last time I will leave Wilton Park richer with knowledge, friends and happy memories. It has been great.”
