Cassandre Denis

Within a center for unaccompanied foreign minors, I am responsible for evaluating the young people who present themselves to determine their minority. As such, I conduct evaluation interviews and write professional reports that I transmit to the Department.

This multidisciplinary position allows me to leverage my legal skills while training in social support for a foreign population. I support users throughout their asylum procedure by conducting individual interviews and writing professional documents. I also inform and help access rights by organizing various collective information events and workshops.

This three-month internship is part of my university education. During this time, I assist lawyers in their efforts to provide non-profit legal aid to migrants arriving on the island of Malta. This internship is conducted in English, and I may occasionally be required to speak French during oral translation missions from French to English, to help communication between lawyers and French-speaking migrants.

During the internship, I had the opportunity to single-handedly argue the defense of an asylum seeker before the Maltese Asylum Tribunal.
