Hosting German Social Work Students at Nicosia’s MIC as part of their Internship Placement
Within the framework of the MiHub program, we had the honor of hosting two Social Work students from the Katholische Stiftungshochschule München – University of Applied Sciences in Germany, Vivien Hörner and Charlie Clees, who carried out their internship in Cyprus from 11/08/2025 to 31/08/2025 at the Nicosia’s MIC.
During their placement, the two students actively participated in a wide range of activities, with particular emphasis on their contribution to the implementation of Housing Information Groups for the residents of the First Reception Center (FRC) “Pournara” in Kokkinotrimithia.
The Housing Information Groups at Pournara focused on key issues concerning the daily lives of migrants and refugees, such as:
- searching for housing through available online platforms, with emphasis on identifying affordable rental opportunities,
- providing information about tenancy and employment rights,
- strengthening connections with the local community outside the reception center,
- presenting the support services offered by miHUB and other organizations to migrants (e.g. provision of food, clothing, etc.).
Their contribution was particularly valuable, as their active participation and willingness to collaborate added a meaningful dimension to our activities. Their presence not only enhanced our work but also fostered the exchange of knowledge and experiences within an international context.
We sincerely thank both students for their commitment, professionalism, and collaboration, and we wish them every success in their academic and professional careers.
