Intern in Spring 2020:
Elvira Jansson
Elvira Jansson, is 21 years old and is currently studying social work at Novia University of Applied Science in Turku. She is on her fourth semester and her Bachelor of Social Services is due in 2021. This spring she will do an internship at the Åland Mediation Office. I enjoy my social work studies, and the education also matches my own interests such as humans, relationships, society and social behaviour. I am very happy for the opportunity to do an internship at the Åland Mediation Office as I want to learn more about mediation and how it works in practice. I also look forward to learn about various tools and methods that promote conflict resolution, since I am convinced that you will have a great benefit from that kind of knowledge in your work life.
