This summer, we welcomed a bright, driven group of interns from Riga Business School and Stockholm School of Economics in Riga. And they’ve been doing far more than observing – they've been shaping real, hands-on projects across our teams in Sales, Claims, Underwriting, People & Culture, and Marketing.
- Marketing with a Twist (and a Lot of Balloons)
If you spotted a sudden surge of heart balloons around Balcia HQ, you're not imagining things. That was the creative work of our rebellious Marketing interns, who helped launch the exhibition The Mystery of Banksy – A Genius Mind in Riga. From concept to execution, they helped bring bold ideas to life – proving that insurance and street art can, in fact, go hand in hand.
"The Banksy project showed the essence of our brand – bold and creative. As a marketing intern, I saw how, with fresh ideas and team passion, you can make a big impact in a short time. From heart-shaped balloons to social media buzz, it was rewarding to see the public truly appreciate our work."
– Elizabete Križanovska, Marketing Team Intern
- Putting People First – Literally
Our People & Culture intern has been spearheading one of our newest employee wellbeing initiatives: Wellness Month. Think terrace yoga, gong meditation sessions, breathing classes, and even a private screening of the F1 movie at Forum Cinemas in Riga – all designed to help our team feel more grounded and energized. It’s the kind of project that shows what happens when fresh perspectives meet real responsibility.
"Internship in the P&C Team was impressive - it not only shattered my stereotypes about internship life in general but also about HR functions as a whole. I felt trusted, and that sense of responsibility made me come to work every day thinking: ‘What new adventure awaits me today?"
– Samanta Viļuma, P&C Team Intern
- Learning by Doing (and Asking the Right Questions)
From revamping sales tools and refining underwriting workflows to enhancing the customer experience and launching new internal rituals, our insurance interns are immersed in meaningful, hands-on work. They’re not just learning – they’re challenging assumptions and pushing for better, faster, and more human-centered ways of working.
"An excellent opportunity to discover insurance as a truly interesting and dynamic environment, and a great pleasure to meet such amazing and supportive people who are always ready to help, share their knowledge, and teach."
– Ernests Cīrulis, Sales Team Intern
We’re just getting started – and so are they.
