Profiel:: I’m doing my 3rd year internship at The Garage, and it has been a genuinely positive and supportive experience. One of the things that stood out the most to me is the overall environment and culture within the whole team. Everyone is approachable, open to sharing ideas, and willing to help whenever needed. People support each other which made it easier for me to settle in and feel comfortable from the beginning. The environment itself encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone. During my internship, I have been working on the one project (Lost History) solving a problem for clients about the visibility of Vlissingen’s history. Alongside that, I also contribute in organising the Regeneration festival, and being in these projects felt new and exciting. In the beginning, I was more reserved and unsure about actively involving myself, but over time, I began to participate more, shared my thoughts and took initiatives. The fact that my input was taken seriously gave me the confidence to engage more in the daily activities. Being surrounded by people who are motivated and supportive made this experience valuable. Not only it helped me grew professionally but it also shaped my confidence in stepping forward, taking ownership and being a part of the team.
