About me
The project
My name is Amy, I’m 22 years old .
I love travelling and exploring new cultures and wanted to spend some time gaining work experience in another country.
The project
Free Time I prepared and taught English to children between the ages of 11-13 and translated the organisation’s website into English.
I worked at Qualificar para Incluir which enables socially disadvantaged people access to training and qualifications. The workplace is only 10 minutes away from my accomodation.
Accommodation
In my free time, I discovered Portugal with my lovely flatmates and enjoyed exploring the city of Porto.
I lived in a lovely big, spacious house with Brazilians and a Spanish girl. It was very close to my workplace and close to the city centre.
What did I learn professionally?
What did I learn personally?
I gained an insight into what it is like to be in charge of preparing English lessons and teaching English to children.
I learned Portuguese and was able to communicate with my flatmates in Portuguese and make new friends as well as explore Portugal.
