Experiencing life in a multicultural environment. The traineeship is probably your first job out of your home country. Working with people form the 25 EU countries will make you aware of the European atmosphere and other European cultures
Stagaires also have the possibility to visit the NATO HQ.
National parties, each week different Nationalities organize a party with a theme from their home country.
Experiencing Brussels itself. This could be a good time to make the decision if you would like to spend a good part of your life in Brussels or not. The metropolitan life does not suit everybody. If you do not like Brussels but would like the work in the EU sector, the solution would be to live in one of the villages/towns that surround Brussels like Tervuren.
Invites to receptions by regional offices.
There are more than 8,000 applicants. So being chosen is definitely a good sign on your CV.
More contacts and possibilities to find a job in Brussels either with the institutions or with companies that work in the EU Sector.
