About Internship with Global Fashion Agenda
Global Fashion Agenda (fond) is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. As part of our commitment to community engagement and supporting local education, we offer internships aligned with the Danish education system and its students. In Denmark, students participating in internships as part of their formal education are not permitted to receive both a salary and government financial aid (SU – Statens Uddannelsesstøtte). As these internships are an integral part of educational programmes, they must therefore be unpaid. Participation in such internships is often a mandatory component of students’ studies.
