Past Intern Testimonial | Shari Bone, (intern 2020-2021)

"Although my internship was undertaken digitally, I was immensely impressed at how much I was able to learn and accomplish in such a short time. I am exceptionally grateful to both Europa Nostra and ESACH for welcoming me into their respective teams and helping me to grow both professionally and personally". 
​
Some highlights of the internship programme included:

• the opportunity to interact with a variety of students, young professionals and experienced cultural heritage professionals 
• being able to help implement new partnerships and watching them come to fruition
• being given the trust of both Europa Nostra and ESACH to work independently while also being welcomed as part of the team 

Originally from Australia with a background in Archaeology and Anthropology, her Masters’ degree brought her to Germany and Egypt to study ‘Heritage Conservation and Site Management’. During her time in Europe, she was able to take on a number of positions with ESACH, Europa Nostra and European Heritage Volunteers, which gave her a passion for community engagement and working with young professionals, a topic she hopes to pursue as she looks to begin her career back in Australia.
