Bianca (Australia)
“Even though I came into this internship with a very open mind, this internship still exceeded my expectations. I was just very eager to learn and engage in anything and everything about TAF’s mission for the ocean, whale and dolphin conservation”
Jade (France)
“Thank you TAF for giving me the opportunity to work with you this year! I really enjoyed and got a lot out of this internship, best wishes for the future!”
Angelina (Germany)
“The team is super nice and there are lot of opportunities to learn and experience”
Eve (France)
“I want to thank again the TAF team for this year, which taught me a lot on Mediterranean species but also about myself”
Sofie (Denmark)
“I learnt a lot about communication in different formats such as teaching children about important environmental issues and how to convey ideas of upcycling to an adult audience who may not have any experience with this”
Lucy (US)
“I learned much more about the problems facing the oceans and cetaceans, and I improved my graphic design and social media skills. I also learned many great life lessons from Berit”
Antoine (France)

Sara (Bulgary)
“Interning at TAF – The Animal Fund has been such an incredible and supportive experience, and I am beyond happy and content that I have had this amazing opportunity!”
Mei (Japan)
“I recommend TAF 100%! First of all, the internship
manager (Berit Legrand) is a very inspiring person and she is always there for us, no matter what. I
think that the ease of communication helped me a lot to grow within my internship. Then, it seems
to me important to be able to commit ourselves to the environment at our own level, and to be able
to do it within an association with other people who have the same age or the same motivation as
us, it pushes us upwards and beyond our limits. Being involved with TAF also means being able to get
involved in our region and to intervene in schools in our region.”
Lena (US)
“I want to go into the environmental field in my future and the skills and information I learned at TAF will
definitely be useful. I really enjoyed how much I was able to learn through this internship”
Habiba (Marocco)
“My internship was way more beyond my expectations and I can recommend joining TAF 200%”.
Jenna (US)
“I really enjoyed attending events with Berit, and learning from her and her experience in environmental activism. I developed my research skills through our various reports. I learned, In french at times, to communicate with the public about our oceans and marine wildlife .”
Saskia (UK)
“What I learned will be very useful for my ocean focused classes at university. Thank you Berit for making this experience so wonderful”
Nassim (France)
“This internship has improved my ability to work in a team, but also my educational skills by simplifying my sentences so that young children can fully understand them and be aware, Thank you so much TAF”
Sonia (Riga, Latvia)
“This experience also helped me overcome the fear of taking on responsibilities spontaneously. I found myself stepping out of my comfort zone — for example, speaking in front of an audience on short notice — something that used to feel intimidating. Being part of a motivated and supportive TAF team gave me the confidence to act without overthinking and to trust in my ability to handle unexpected tasks. In many ways, it helped me begin to overcome my fear of public speaking and become more comfortable with taking initiative”
