On March 22, Dr Anna Barrera, Director of Programmes at the EU-LAC Foundation (Hamburg, Germany) offered a seminar in the framework of the Practitioner Seminar Series organised by IBEI, an initiative that gives the floor to practitioners in the field of international relations, security and development. Dr Barrera is a political Scientist specialising in the relations between the European Union and Latin America and the Caribbean and currently coordinates bi-regional initiatives in the fields of scientific cooperation, gender equality, transitional justice, multilateralism and culture. 

Using her experiences in two international organisations as a cue (UN Women and the EU-LAC Foundation), Anna Barrera presented a spectrum of possible tasks that are performed in international organisations. Attendees were able to get acquainted with the key skills required to apply for jobs and to work in international organisations. 

This activity had the support of the MSCDA-Doctoral Network “Understanding Latin American Challenges in the 21st Century” (LAC-EU).
