My INSP internship was a great experience; I was always kept very busy with a wide range of activities, from replying to enquiries about 'Street Paper Start-ups' to writing newsletters about street paper vendors. However, my main responsibility was to help organise the annual conference. As the conference drew closer my task list often seemed never-ending and things got hectic but the INSP staff were always supportive and helpful. During this time, I gained so much new experience and during the conference itself, I met some of the most inspiring, creative and positive people I have ever met in my life. I feel very privileged to have been a part of an international organisation of this kind.
