Top Affordable Internships in Greece | Intern Abroad HQ

I’ve really enjoyed my internship experience. It was very hands-on. I got to work with marble carving, clay, and painting. It was a great opportunity, and I’m excited to include it in my portfolio and on my résumé. Athens is a beautiful city, and my local team was incredibly supportive. All of the coordinators were kind, helpful, and always available when I needed them.

I chose to intern abroad because I wanted professional experience not only in the arts, but also in working with people from different cultures. I wanted to learn from them, interact in a professional setting, and broaden my perspective. During my internship, I had the chance to learn from many different artists. I attended workshops and classes where they taught me their techniques, which I really enjoyed and learned a lot from. I also appreciated the support from my local team. They communicated everything clearly, were always helpful, and made me feel comfortable asking any questions I had.

During my internship I enjoyed the balance between exploring Athens and engaging in meaningful, hands-on work. Visiting iconic cultural sites was incredible, but the most fulfilling aspect was the experience I gained at the centre. I participated in therapy sessions, shared ideas, and built connections with both patients and staff. Despite the language barrier, I found ways to communicate and connect, which made the experience even more rewarding. This internship has made a significant contribution to my personal and professional development. Personally, it strengthened my patience, adaptability, and cultural awareness. Professionally, I gained valuable field experience in mental health care, particularly in how art and creative expression can be integrated into therapy for elderly patients. This experience has deepened my interest in pursuing a career that combines psychology with art-based interventions while improving my ability to work in diverse and cross-cultural settings. Overall, the internship has provided me with confidence, insight, and motivation to continue developing in my field.
