End of my internship

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

It’s just arrived the end of my internship at the FSFE. In March I’ll come back to Italy.
Five mounths of internship abroad is a big opportunity for a student to learn what is working in an international context.
Only after this working experience a student can really understand what he studied for a lot of time and acquire new knowledges.
Yes, it is probably too early to write this in my blog but during next week I’ll partecipate to FOSDEM, so I will not have a chance to thank.
I have to say, I really enjoy partecipate to the foundation’s activities, which are a real and invaluable resource for experience.
About my internship I can say that I’m really satisfied.
Yes, sometimes working in an european context is not so simple: you have some problems with the language, is not easy communicate your ideas…but you can learn a lot!
The important is doing a working experience where everyday there are new activities to do and to learn.. I can say that FSFE is one of those place.
Yes this is a celebration of 5 mounths of interniship. This is a celebration of a community that I have come to know and admire.
The FSFE is a collection of individuals who work for the society and was a pleasure work with very intelligent, funny and patient people.
It was good to meet and talk to many people.
In addition, I managed to get to see different place and culture.
So many thanks to the Zurich office that supported me and learned me some computer’s knowledges and to be critical when is necessary.
I hope we will continue to see the foundation growth!
