UNESCO offers internships of 1-6 months across its sectors at Paris headquarters, field offices and institutes, advertised as vacancy notices on its careers site. Applicants must be at least 20 and be in the third or final year of a bachelor's, in a second degree or master's/PhD, or have graduated within the past 12 months, with excellent English or French. Interns are not paid and cover their own travel, visa and health insurance. A current general notice lists a closing date of 31 Dec 2026, and the start date is not stated, so the start month is an estimate. Checked on the employer's own page.

Scout lists details from the organiser's own page. Check dates and eligibility there before you apply.
