María Catalina Moreno Medina Professional in International Affairs Carrera 45ª # 123-84 Bogotá, Colombia Cel: 3165797621 [email protected] To EU Delegation 15 July, 2021 Dear EU Delegation, I am writing to express my interest in the traineeship in the Political, Press and Information Section (PPI) in the Human Rights Section at the EU Delegation, as it has always been part of my goals and ambitions to become part of the European Union’s support for Colombia’s agenda and, specifically, in the area of peace and human rights. I’m a professional in International Affairs from the University Colegio Mayor Nuestra Señora del Rosario and this opportunity is my chance to enrich my knowledge and professional outgrowth contributing to the political, economic, environmental, and regional developments affecting EU-Colombia relations. From the very beginning of my career, I found real interest in the relations that can be built between different states all around the world and the importance of an accurate diplomatic representation of a single nation in a foreign country. Due to my fascination towards political matters that were affecting the diplomatic relations between Colombia and other nations, I did my internship in the Congress of the Republic of Colombia. This experience thought me how powerful, in political matters, is to have stable and strong relations with countries outside my own. Taking into account this, I think there’s no better place to learn about a foreign policy that strongly believes in human rights, values, law, economic growth and democracy than the EU Delegation. In conclusion, I would like to say that I’m eager to gain new experiences, knowledge and skills that are going to improve my understanding in human rights and political dynamics in the international field and I am convinced that doing this traineeship in the EU Delegation is going to contribute to my professional growth as a specialist in International Relations the best way possible. I hope to be given this prestigious opportunity as I am confident that I am capable of exceeding all your expectations. Thank you so much for considering my application. Sincerely, Maria Catalina Moreno Medina
