NEW INTERN PROFILE🖊

Laoise, interning as Multilingual Graphic Designer at Lenguacom through Capacity Ireland speaks about her experience!

🗣”My experience has been fantastic. My employer is really helpful and takes time out of meetings to teach me new things.”

We really value our interns to get the most out of their work experience in Lisbon by ensuring that they are given the roles and responsibilities at work that allow them to fully expand on their current skillset.👩‍💻📈

With this in mind, Laoise is able to take part in a wide range of tasks at her internship. These tasks include translation work, graphic design, poster design and working with Lenguacom’s clients.

A MUST VISIT IN PORTUGAL📍CRISTO REI

🌊 One of the best and most unique parts about Lisbon is that the seafront is right in middle of the city centre 🏖 It’s super easy to get boat trips to sightsee around different cities near Lisbon. College students Molly and Sophie who study at Chichester College spoke about their experience getting a boat trip to Cristo Rei 🛳

Cristo Rei has views that span across the whole of Lisbon, even including the bridge Ponte 25 de Abril, which lights up at night 🌉✨In this photo, you can see a shot that the students took of the famous Christ statue at Cristo Rei.

Visiting Lisbon as part of our program with colleges is the perfect way to practice photography and social media content creation in a completely different culture. Molly says: “When I finish my college course I want to go to university to study Media studies (Film, Photography). I would also like to see how different cultures approach The Media and learn how about it.”

We want to introduce ourselves👋🏽

🗣Hi, I’m Uma working as a Digital Marketing Intern here at Synopsis.

“I am really enjoying my role, it allows me to capture the journey of our interns in Lisbon and learn more about the culture of the city, while making fun and exciting content!”💛

🗣Hi I’m Helena, I’m also working as digital marketer for Synopsis.

“I applied for this internship through Twin Employment & Training because I wanted the opportunity to gain independence through working abroad and create social media content that highlights the best parts about a city 🇵🇹🏙.Being able to explore Lisbon as part of my role working at Synopsis has been a dream. It’s rare to have a role in social media content creation that gives this much freedom to be creative.”💜

👉We caught up with Laura and Callum who have completed their first week with Twin Employment & Training for their hospitality role at Chillout Hostel.
Here’s what Laura’s enjoying about her internship:
🔈”I love it because I get to meet loads of interesting people from different countries every day”

Our internships really encourage people to step outside of their comfort zone and feel like they’re pushing themselves to the best of their ability.
With this in mind, Callum says:
🔈”Having worked in hospitality before, it’s exciting to work in an environment where it’s not my first language, adding an extra layer of challenge to work.”

June is the month of celebrations and festivities for the Popular Saints throughout the country on the nights of St. Anthony, St. John and St. Peter.

The reason they are celebrated is because Santo António (Saint Anthony) is one of the Lisbon's patrons and also the patron of all of those who look for a significant other to get married. São João (Saint John) is Oporto´s saint of devotion. Saint Peter – the patron saint of fishermen – is the saint with the most modest celebrations. Because all the feasts are linked to the summer solstice and ancient fertility rites.

During this time the streets of Lisbon are filled with colours and decorations there are BBQ’s,folk music, live performances, and dances. celebrations take place all over the city but mainly downtown and in typical neighbourhoods like Alfama, Mouraria, Bica and Graça.

If you are lucky to be in Lisbon in the month of June be sure to join in and take advantage of this great time.

Happy World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development! In these images, you can see street art in the village of Marvila. This artwork opens up conversation about different cultures and how everyone can be represented. There are different types of art work all over this town- it is definitely a place worth visiting!
