  2. Letizia TorelliCapri Island, South of Italy Letizia was the IFEA Membership Development Officer. “I learned and worked hard for achieve my personal and professionals goals day-by-day. At the end of my experience I loved Ireland.” She now lives and works in Capri, working on Public Relations in the field of tourism. “I am looking for a good job and I know that my Irish experience can lead me in the right choice because it opened my mind.” “Thank you Mr Colm Croffy for the opportunity”

  3. Daniele GerlinAlano de Piave, Italy Since March 2013 Daniele has been working as Junior Sales and Account Manager at Jiabin, a web agency specialising in marketing for culture. “We work for some of the main theatres in Italy, as Piccolo Teatro Milano, Teatro San Carlo Napoli and TeatroRegio Parma.  In this company I manage relations with clients and I work to find new ones, following all the aspects of the relation.”

  4. Veronica DilibertoRome, Italy Administrative/projects Assistant for AOIFE  from October to December 2012. In January Veronica moved to Rome and started a master course  concerning tourism, events and communication. “What I observed and learned during the training experience in AOIFE's Office is proving to be  useful for my studies. I'm really thinking of continue in this direction, learning how to organize conferences and festivals.”Veronica is thinking of returning to Ireland for her final year project this winter. “I couldn’t ever forget those months spent in Ireland with the AOIFE team!”

  5. Michaela RossoItaly “What I appreciated most is that interns are treated like real employees: they are given responsibilities and the possibility of using their own initiative.” AOIFE Administrative Assistant “It was an unforgettable and rewarding experience. I gained much more confidence, I improved my organisational skills and, of course, my English.” Michaela started working in the Foreign Sales Department of a company that produces furniture for bedrooms and living rooms. “I really thing my working experience abroad stood me in good stead to find a job quickly.”

  6. Virginia CarolfiEmilia Romagna, Italy “My fellow colleagues and interns were absolutely unique and a pleasure to work with. The daily cycling experience totally erased my Italian fear-of-the-rain and the Rose of Tralee Escort Selection added a ‘peculiar’ flavour to the whole experience.”“However, I believe that the greatest inheritance I got back from those Irish months is strongly related to what I'm doing now.” While in Ireland, Virginia worked on her thesis about public and private funds for the arts in Ireland and came cross FUNDIT.IE, the Irish crowd-funding platform. Amazed by its success, when she returned to Italy she started her own association based on the Irish crowd-funding model. “And guess what's its name? GINGER (acronym of Gestione Idee Nuove e Geniali in Emilia Romagna); there's definitely something Irish in it.”

  7. Martine SmitThe Netherlands Martine graduated from Inholland University after studying International Media & Entertainment Management. She then spent 5 weeks walking the Camino France to Santiago. “When I came back I had several voluntary jobs; for instance at the Movies That Matter festival in The Hague.” “As of May I have been working as a Management Supporter for an organisation which in English would be translated to Quality Institute of Dutch Municipalities. The organisation gives advice to municipalities on how to solve certain problems on different topics like decentralization of youth care, work & income and health care.” “Besides the working experience, my time at AOIFE has shown me the beauty of Ireland, the people and its culture which resulted in very good memories of a great time!”

  8. Síofra MannionGalway, Ireland Press and Communications Intern 2013 “Currently completing my final year at the University of Limerick. Working with the Association of Irish Festival Events gave me many insights into the sector and a whole new perspective on what I want to pursue once I finish my degree.” “The experience I gained helped me in obtaining a summer job position with a sales and marketing company called Sabre Marketing. This position required the skills and qualities I developed in Ballinasloe.” “AOIFE gave me independence and the fantastic work ethic I have today, it is an invaluable work placement for any student.”
