Looking back, I really had an enriching and unforgettable experience in GHub. First of all, under the guidance of my supervisor, I had the opportunity to get involved in many kinds of assignments (such as the preparation of China-Germany conference, Climate Wire, GHG accounting, climate summit, climate financing, forestry carbon sink, etc.), which greatly broadened my vision and improved my working ability. In addition, the meaningful work in other sectors were also very impressive. It is a great honor to work in such a positive team that stands at the forefront of our times and influences the society towards sustainable development. I sincerely hope that GHub is getting better and better, and I strongly recommend you to join this big family if you want to improve yourself and make a contribution to the sustainable development of our planet!

The three-month working experience has also granted me loads of new knowledge and skill. At the very beginning, what I knew about climate change was limited to what I had learned in class, that climate change is one of the various problems that demands international coordination and cooperation to deal with. For the first time, I became aware that the problem of climate change and environment deserves to be prioritized by the whole world and every individual. But for many people — unfortunately this is the case for the majority, their patch of knowledge on climate change do not suffice to raise their awareness or stimulate their action, nor do they wish to familiarize themselves with relevant issues proactively. Moreover, during the three months here, I was privileged to celebrate Spring Festival with the staff, in such a special form as the wished we had written were distributed randomly by drawing lots; I also witnessed how attentive they were to secretly prepare a present when someone’s birthday was around the corner. I simply could not imagine a more agreeable environment to work in.

The two-month internship in Greenovation Hub is a wonderful journey. I’m grateful to this precious experience, and to everyone I met here, especially to my mentors – Jiliang, Meijia and Yutian. Without their help I could never enhance my working capability and learn all of these efficient working techniques. Working for NGO has always been a dream to me, and this internship was absolutely a dream-come-true, which has expand my horizon and made me feel closer to environmental protection than ever. I learned how to view things in an interdisciplinary way, and how to conduct a research step by step. What GHUB showed me is not only the professional skills, but also the sense of responsibility as human-beings. As a student who major in international trade and economics, I will remember all I have learned here, and apply them to my future career.

As a student majoring in environment, the work in Greennovation Hub both overlaps and complements my studies. During the 3-month of my internship, my horizon has been largely expanded, and I gained more skillful and realistic knowledge. I learned the daily business of an environmental NGO, how a report or passage is produced, and how to plan and organize an event. Besides, I learned a lot from my colleagues’ rigorous attitude and enthusiasm for environmental protection. They also give me much support in my life and work. All in all, I appreciate the internship opportunity very much and I believe that this experience will benefit me for life!

In the three months of GREENOVATION:HUB, I came empty-handed and returned with full load. I came to GHUB with a learning attitude, and I also got a lot of unexpected surprises. From the unfamiliarity of the work to the method of gradually finding a handy way, I have not given up any difficulties, and I have received the warm help and patient answers from my colleagues. For a short time, I grew fast. Whether it is the mentality and method of doing things for people, the understanding of the way of operating NGOs, and the in-depth understanding of communication work, it has improved their ability in practice. I am very fortunate to have this rare opportunity. I am very grateful to every colleague who has helped me. This is an internship experience that will never be forgotten.

Out of a love of environmental protection and curiosity of NGOs, I joined GHUB, an organization with passion and professionalism. As a student majoring in environmental engineering, what I had learned was limited to technological treatment, and I knew nothing about policy advocacy back then. During my internship here, I learned the power of both words and sounds. In the Marine Sector, I witnessed the global efforts to protect the Antarctic ocean. In the Communication Department, I learned the art and skills of communication. All of my colleagues here were very friendly and humorous, and the working atmosphere was excellent. The experience in GHUB has broadened my horizons and diversified my thinking styles.

During the summer, I was very happy to be one of the members at the Greenovation Hub, beginning my internship life for almost three months there. It was a very precious and unforgettable experience for me, mainly reflecting on the below aspects. Firstly, it provided me a great platform to deeply understand what NGOs are, and how do they operate and develop in the atmosphere of China. This new acknowledge has helped me to rethink my career plan. Additionally, diverse work contents have enriched myself from different ways, which involve in assisting my manager to finish relevant research and professional journals, to organize academic salon activities and workshops. To a larger extent, these tasks have not only expanded my horizons but also improved my professional skills. Most importantly, the impressive thing what I’ve got at Greenovation: Hub is the capability of teamwork. My line manager and all of my colleagues helped a lot from the perspectives of both work and life, all of them were so kind and professional, making me feel so warm and I can learn too much from each of them. I really appreciate everyone who I have met and everything that I have experienced at Greenovation Hub in the summer of 2018, Thanks so much.

I appreciate the 10-month internship opportunity at G:HUB, which helped me learn and grow both professionally and as a person. The climate change work in which I participated in has enriched my experiences, broadened my outlook on international issues, and cultivated a new way of critical thinking and understanding for the meaning of justice. In addition, the welcoming working environment has made me feel like home. I have received much help and support from my colleagues and my supervisors, who are professional insightful yet collaborative and caring at the same time. G:HUB has offered me a great platform for learning––I have received the most up-to-date information about global climate change, exchanged ideas with experts of the field, and attended high-quality conferences in this industry. With the experiences gained in my internship at G:HUB, I will continue to improve my working expertise and to pursue my future career. Looking back, it’s been a fulfilled year-off, and my gratitude for G:HUB is beyond words.

Every day has been so natural and full of surprises when I was in GHUB. As a student doing environmental study, I feel so lucky joining this lovely team and experiencing the free but professional working atmosphere. During these three months of study and work, I get a deeper and more practical understanding of my major, also able to grasp some skills that I have never been familiar with. I really appreciate the friendliness, patience and tolerance that I have got from every colleague in GHUB. Being inspired by everyone, I will insist doing what I am really passionate about and try my best to do it well.

With strong passion and high expectation, I joined Greenovation Hub as an intern in the fall of 2017. This valuable internship experience has not only prompted me to be a skilled researcher but given me much more to think and feel. In four months, I have improved my working ability and gained insights on how NGOs work from daily practice and deepened my understandings in environmental issues, especially, in the green development of the Belt and Road. In addition, during this internship program, taking after the example set by my colleagues, I have become more aware of the possible direction of my life and developed more courage to realize my aspirations in the future. I have to express my sincere gratitude to everyone in G: Hub, especially to my supervisor, for their constant care and encouragement. Undoubtedly, I feel happy and lucky to be a member of the G: Hub family!

As an intern at G:Hub in 2017, I had an excellent and enriching experience. I worked under the Green Finance and Investment sector on researching multilateral development banks financing in energy and infrastructure projects, as well as collecting information on governmental institutions policies in the realm of green finance.This internship program has given me greater skills in all realms of research and analytical writing. As an American student in Beijing, it is a worthwhile experience to intern in a country with such rich culture. Although I was 7,000 miles away from home, G:Hub made me feel comfortable and instilled positivity within the office at all times making this program unforgettable.

As a college student majoring in public management , I joined Greenovation Hub as an intern with the passion for commonweal and environmental protection. I was mainly responsible in the work related to communication, and also exposed to many aspects of daily operations. Through experience accumulation and interaction with colleagues, my professional consciousness and ability have improved remarkably, which will benefit my whole life. I also obtained new understanding about NGO: actions are more important than words. Every time I think of the lovely colleagues here, I will be greatly encouraged by their faith and devotion.
