Furthermore I experienced that it is of importance that the education is objective and that you have to be aware of the view of other people. Environmental education is not one sided, but it is a way of sharing knowledge, ideas and opinions. The internship was also good to find out what my strengths and weaknesses are. This helped me to define what skills and knowledge I have to improve in the coming time. It would be better that the knowledge level of the language is sufficient to contribute fully to projects. After my master I think that I could start my working career. However I could perform certain tasks in research better if I practice/know more the research methodologies applied in cetacean studies. It would also be better if I can present and express myself more confidently. At last this internship has given me new insights and motivation to pursue a career in ecological research abroad.
