“I have had a fantastic time working with Nomadic Hands as well as learning a lot and feeling like I made a small difference in the world. It is by no means a 9-5 internship, and every day is different.
I wanted to gain real hands-on experience in filming documentaries, which is exactly what I did as soon as I started with Nomadic Hands. I got to research, film and edit documentaries, as well as organisation videos. I learned how to use a HDV camera and how to edit with Final Cut Pro.
I would recommend it to anyone interested in a career in media, sustainable living or social enterprise.”
Charlotte Hawkins, Nomadic Hands Intern 2011
