O Testemunho Inicial dos Estagiários ALMA

 

Join us as our ALMA interns share their first impressions, reflections, and experiences of life in Lisbon, through their own words and perspectives.

Raquel:

My first experience with this project has been positive. Since the first day we've been accompanied by our tutors and people from the voluntary work, we can always keep in touch with them. 

In Lisbon, we have done activities like visiting the Castelo de S. Jorge, Praça do Comércio and even trying typical food like pastéis de nata ou bacalhau.

About our internship, our tutors have helped us introduce ourselves into our new workplace. We'll have regular 'check ups' to make sure everything is going well during our stay in Lisbon.

Personally I feel comfortable and confident with the experience I've had so far. 

Michelle:

This past week we've explored Lisbon, such as the Castelo de São Jorge, socialised for the first time with our companions and met new people. We also started working on our practices for the first time.

Paula:

I'm really enjoying the experience. Since we arrived, we've been exploring the city with our colleagues and, in practice, we've seen castrations, an autopsy and we help the animals recover every day.

Raul:

Olá!

This first week in Lisbon has been great, we have been seeing the city and the views from the top and I love them. I have already met most of the people who are going to be with us during this experience and they are very nice people. Little by little I am going to see the corners of Portugal and I hope that during these next few months I will be able to enjoy myself like a child.

Vicente:

I'm Vicente, the first few days were very good, we went to St George's Castle and the Portuguese lessons we did the first few days went very well.

 We hope our interns’ experiences helped you get a better sense of life in Lisbon and the ALMA program. Stay tuned for more stories!
