Atabong has completed his LLM in International Human Rights and Humanitarian Law from the European University Viadrina Frankfurt. He joined the VACorps program in February 2021 and participated in a human rights law internship at a refugee legal advocacy center in Cape Town.
“The Internship was perfect, I had the opportunity of working with one of the top legal minds in Cape Town. I had an invaluable learning / practical experience during the time I spent wi. Also, the cultural activities we attended on Mondays were superb, Friday activities were the perfect way to start the weekend. I made new friends and the only regret I have was that I couldn’t prolong my stay”
