EUSA INTERNSHIPS
EUSA has been hosting international volunteers and interns in the EUSA
Office based in Ljubljana, Slovenia, since 2011, giving an opportunity
for young volunteers to gain valuable knowledge of the day-to-
day workings and activities of an international organisation.
During their time in EUSA Office,
the interns work closely with all
EUSA’s working departments,
including Sports, Media and
Communications and Education.
While they offer valuable skills
and knowledge to the office,
EUSA is conscious of developing
and aiding wherever possible the
intern’s experience of working
in an international sports office.
EUSA is extremely proud of all
the 24 interns that have worked
in the EUSA Office over the past
decade who will always be part
of the EUS family and will no
doubt continue representing the
association with pride in future.
In 2020, the EUSA Office
welcomed four Italians whose
12-month stay in Ljubljana
enabled them to assist in various
projects and activities, organise
a sports event and take in the
beauty Slovenia has to offer.
The internships were realised
in cooperation with OPES Italia,
funded within the International
Italian Civil Service. OPES Italia
is an organisation for education
and promotion of sports,
recognised by CONI.The four interns had this to say
about their experiences in the
EUSA Office:Valeria Leoci
“EUSA turned out to be a
beautiful discovery: what the
association does is very cool
and valuable, and the people
working in the office are kind,
friendly and helpful, making me
feel like in a family. I strongly
recommend every young Italian
citizen to do the civil service and
every aspiring volunteer from
Europe to join the EUSA team.”Ludovica Appetiti
“During this experience I had the
chance to improve my English,
to develop new digital skills,
and work on assigned tasks
including video editing, graphic
design and article writing. I
recommend everyone to try this
experience that can really open
the mind and offer new work
horizons.”Arianna Caruso
“I managed to meet many
interesting people, visited many
small towns and fantastic
places. I have made friendships
that I hope not to get lost
along the way, especially those
with my colleagues and other
volunteers. A special thanks
goes to all the EUSA staff:
they were all very kind and
understanding, they welcomedand guided us, they made us
feel part of the family.”Giovanni Fabris
“I came to Slovenia to clear my
mind and take decisions about
the future, and I left with many
answers to my initial doubts as
well as a wealth of experience
and friends that I consider
the best consequence of this
motivating and amusing year.”PLEASE SEE
