Ó Bhéal’s first Erasmus+ intern, Anara Higuera, joined the team in April 2018 for a 2 1/2 month placement. In that time Anara completed a wide range of valuable administrative tasks, offering some much-appreciated relief to our summer programme, whilst learning some valuable new skills of her own, primarily wordpress blog and image editing. Our warm thanks to Anara for all her help and enthusiasm, and to Madrid-based Erasmus+ agency IES Alonso de Avellaneda for contacting us to make it all possible. We look forward to working with them again in the future.
