“Interning with Massyr was one of the most unconventional interning experience of my life. It was a place where the intern’s opinion was fully appreciated and respected. It was a place where I could feel that my development was one of the main purposes of the internship. I feel that this is an invaluable experience for anyone considering a career in NGOs.”
Lilya Chigara, Student at Paris-Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi (PSUAD)
“I went into Massyr interested in starting with their first project, something I was always passionate about, ART. I believed in their cause. Before starting my internship with them I saw an opportunity to be exposed to the Fine Art realm, after finishing my internship I ended up doing that by researching artists and their work, not only that but also assisting with the workshop tasks helped me develop other administrative and financial skills. Massyr can be a great experience for all future interns! ”
Judy Karkour, Paris College of Art
“I studied fine arts at Paris College of Art, and above all that I learned, I was taught how to think conceptually. My art in general doesn’t reference a recognizable form. The results are so deconstructed to the point where meaning has been shifted and interpretation has been altered. I’m attempting to create an intense personal space where thoughts are allowed to roam free. So to do that, I have to allow my own thoughts roam free. As for my academic work, I try to apply the same thinking. I’ve been a part of the Christie’s team as an intern and I help our junior specialist in preparing the catalogues for the sales.”
