Where did you hear about WERK?
During my research about possible offices for my internship I found the website of WERK and were intrigued by it – after speaking with my boyfriend and his family it has turned out that his father knows Thomas Kock pretty well and then I immediately started my application here
And what do think of being an intern here?
I really like the office and the atmosphere at WERK. Furthermore, I think that the project I´m currently working on is really interesting because of its complexity and structure
How do you prefer to spend your time when you are not at WERK?
I love doing sports in my free time and just exploring the city of Copenhagen and its surrounding by doing typical Danish things such as eating smørrebrød or paying incredible 56 kr. for one cappuccino.
Any other things we should know of – any fun facts?
I could eat potatoes every single day – in this aspect I´m pretty German.
Meet Hajar from Morrocco: Bollywood lover and polyglot.
What do you study?
Currently studying architecture in Rennes, France. I chose architecture because it’s a field that gathers qualities and characteristics that I care about, like the importance of taking an interest in a responsible way of living in the current context, the social and human qualities which will always be at the center of the projects for me, the character of serving man and society, of meeting their needs and helping them evolve, and finally the richness of diversity and the desire of sharing it between cultures and people.
Where did you hear about WERK?
I found out about WERK on the Internet, I really like my internship here at WERK.
And what do think of being an intern here?
The atmosphere is welcoming, and the people are very helpful and available, I’m able to work on different projects at different scales, urban, architectural… and experience architecture in a professional environment.
How do you prefer to spend your time when you are not at WERK?
When I’m not at WERK, I like discovering the city. The plan for now is to visit a neighborhood every weekend, trying new food and activities. I also like to learn about cultures through movies and music (K-drama, Bollywood, Turkish tv-shows …)
Any other things we should know of – any fun facts?
I speak five languages, but I have an accent in all of them, even in my mother tongue.
Meet Frida from Denmark: Sailor and tailor.
What did you study?
I am taking a gap year, but I attended Det Fri Gymnasium where I completed my STX with a focus on social studies and mathematics. Before I started as a office assistant at WERK, I sailed with the training ship Georg Stage, where I was trained as an unskilled ship’s assistant.
Where did you hear about WERK?
I heard about WERK through the previous office assistant, Halfdan, whom I went to Det Fri Gymnasium with.
And what do you think of being an intern here?
I enjoy being a junior assistant here because it’s great to get insight into the daily operations of an office.
How do you prefer to spend your time when you are not at WERK?
When I’m not at work, I like to sew my own clothes and play football.
Any other things we should know of – any fun facts?
I am a so-called “maskingast” and have learned to take care of the ship’s engine.
