"It has been incredibly rewarding to work collaboratively and learn from the staff, volunteers, and other student placements. We are often reminded that we are not 'just interns,' but 'vital contributors of the Tyntesfield team.'"

Vision and Learning
Scheme
Tyntesfield, United Kingdom
At Tyntesfield, Danielle Cavanna worked with the Vision
and Learning Scheme, a program dedicated to conservation projects
working with disaffected youth and learning-disable students. As
Access and Outreach Assistant, Danielle worked with the youth groups to
facilitate communication and awareness of the relationship between art,
exploration, and the history of Tyntesfield. One of her projects
involved the John Muir Award with 12 participants from TYNTE (Youth People's
Forum) and the Prince's Trust (see photo at right).
The US/ICOMOS International Intern Exchange Program is funded by a variety sources. Each of the host organizations in the U.S. contributed funds that cover a substantial portion of the costs for interns from overseas. Grants from private foundations and individual donors supported the internships for U.S. preservationists traveling overseas, with additional support from some of the overseas host organizations. The 2005 overseas internships were supported by the Dorothy-Ann Foundation, Marpat Foundation, Keepers Fund for Historic Preservation, Samuel H. Kress Foundation, Trust for Mutual Understanding, and contributions from numerous individuals.
