My Erasmus+ internship at Barka

During my Erasmus+ internship at Barka, I had the opportunity to engage in a variety of tasks that kept
each day dynamic and exciting. One of the highlights of my experience was attending the
Housing First conference at Dublin Castle, where I had the privilege of meeting fascinating
individuals and expanding my perspective.
What made my internship unique was that I was basically working for two different offices
at the same time. While working in the Dublin office, I managed various administrative
tasks. At the same time, I collaborated daily with Julie from the German office via Zoom,
contributing to Barka’s ongoing project in Berlin. This opportunity provided me with
invaluable insights and experience. I am genuinely inspired by the significant impact Barka
makes every day.
The supportive and friendly environment created by my colleagues made my time at Barka
especially enjoyable. I always felt a sense of belonging, thanks to Aneta’s constant
encouragement—even with concerns unrelated to work. This experience has been
incredibly rewarding, and I look forward to reconnecting with everyone in the future.
