Museum guide- 6 months Internship (December 2023 – May 2024)
I have to say that the Erasmus+ experience is a really great experience. For me it has been a life changing one, because it helped me to get a job directly at the end of the internship. However if I may tell to the future interns, you have to be creative when you do your Erasmus. Try things, ask to do things, that's really how I enjoyed even more my stay here in Greece and in the museum. So yes, Erasmus+ is a really great program or I must say tool. But we have to use this tool in a lot of creative way so we get the whole experience done.

Erasmus+ is a wonderful experience for your professional life but also for your private life. It will allow to develop new skills of course but it also will help you to discover that you have hidden talents.
Athens is an exciting city that you have to discover in all its aspects: History, architecture and lifestyle. It is nice night and day.
I met so many nice people there. Greek people are kind and lovely but everyone who meet them will tell you the same thing than me.
So enjoy this kindship to find yourself!

Social Workers - 2 months Internship (June – July 2023)
Being in Erasmus here in Greece has a been a great life experience and very good for the course we are studying. We have worked in the company Faros with refugees that where minors, and it’s made us learn many things. It’s been beautiful because we have created a very big bond with the working staff and the refugee kids. We worked mainly in the dropping center and we assisted the people there with everything they needed, we cooked for them, helped them wash their clothes, play games… We aswell helped clean the center and other needs. Apart from the dropping center, we assisted in the school Faros has, when the staff needed our help we went there and accompanied the kids in their education and made various projects with them about daily life skills, social media etc. On the other side, the house were we stayed was very nice, perfect for all the comodities we needed and it was aswell very close to the center of Athens wich has been very good for transportation. We have aswell had a chance for turism and we’ve been in many places like Acropolis, museums, beaches, Delphi temple, Santorini etc. We would definetly repeat again this experience, we are very happy!!!
The last three months have been great. Very nice encounters in a magnificent historical city. The Greeks are really very welcoming, kind and benevolent, even more so if you try to learn some expressions in their language. Professionally, I met a great team who work in a good atmosphere and who really helped me to progress in English. Of course, Greece does not stop at Athens. I had the chance to go to Delphi, Meteora and the islands and I have never been disappointed by the beauty of the landscapes!
Ces trois derniers mois ont été super. De très belles rencontres dans une ville magnifique et chargée d'histoire. Les Grecs sont vraiment très accueillants, gentils et bienveillants, encore plus si vous essayer d'apprendre quelques expressions dans leur langue.
Professionnellement, j'ai rencontré une super équipe qui travaille dans une bonne ambiance et qui m'a vraiment aidé à progresser en anglais.
Biensur, la Grèce ne s'arrête pas qu'à Athènes. J'ai eu la chance d'aller à Delphes, aux Météores ou encore sur les îles et je n'ai jamais été déçue par la beauté des paysages !
