Internships in Western Europe

I am a 23-year-old chef who lives in Turkey and has just graduated from university. Thanks to Erasmus+ projects, I have done volunteering projects in Vienna, Austria and Hamburg, Germany. I have been to Copenhagen, Denmark, Vienna, Austria, Hamburg, Luneburg, Germany and Otopeni, Romania. As an energetic, dynamic and curious young person who is curious about learning things, I worked in three different hotel kitchens and restaurants in Turkey before going to different parts of the world and practicing my profession with new cultures. I think that this experience will improve me a lot. I really want to have this experience, where I am sure that I will learn a lot about the world, new cultures and myself.

Hi. My name is David Rocha, I was a history major in college. I came to Athens after an inquiry. So, what I did as an intern was- as you can see- mostly marble sculpting. I was to learn a bit about Heraldry and calligraphy. I helped to restore a bit of a church. I learnt how to do mosaics. The reason I chose this internship was because I wanted to get some sort of more experience. The reason I decided to do it was to learn more about what I like to do. Also to meet other people and make friends kind of influenced my decision. As for tourism, it was really cool going to different museums. Just because, before I came to Athens as an intern, I loved to visit museums and look at sculptures and paintings and such. And now whenever I go I can look more closely at them to see things like individual lights, how figures are carved and for things like paintings and it really changes how you see art once you intern as an art student. Once you’ve put effort in skill you can actually look at artwork in a museum and think “I don’t know who that artist is but he had really extraordinary skills”. Athens is nice because, if you want to be a tourist and see cool things you don’t really have to leave the city because they have like everything here. There’s the Archaeological Museum, they have actual ruins, they’ve the Parthenon, they have a museum for everything.
