It is a good idea to be proactive in promoting your activity while you are on internship, as well as when you get back.
Promotion is not only good for you, but also for your funding body. If you have been fortunate enough to receive a grant to do your internship, it is important to say thank you.
For instance, The Australia Japan Foundation, Australia Korea Foundation and the New Colombo Plan will be really happy to see you tweet, blog, or Facebook about positive experiences.
When you are distributing your published or broadcast work on social media, just add in a a hashtag your funding body: for instance, saying you are funded by the #AKF (Australia Korea Foundation) #AJF (Australian Japan Foundation), or #NCP (New Colombo Program).
You can also tweet that you are from #RMIT. We would be happy with that.
