ENCATC to circulate internship requests for students in arts & cultural management - send your opportunities

European Network of Cultural Administration Training Centres invites you to contact them if you offer - or are interested in offering - internships for students in arts and cultural management.

Internships for students in arts and cultural management

Dear Colleagues,

ENCATC, the European Network of Cultural Administration Training Centres, aims to foster the mobility of students, keen for the Bologna Process. Therefore, ENCATC publishes PRAXIS a members-only newsletter which offers internship offers and training opportunities in the cultural sector for students, in partnership with Trans European Halles.This is a new service for the 125 ENCATC members from 38 countries in Europe and abroad.

That is why WE INVITE YOU TO CONTACT US IF YOU OFFER OR YOU ARE INTERESTED IN OFFERING INTERNSHIPS FOR STUDENTS IN THE FIELD OF ARTS AND CULTURAL MANAGEMENT. You can send to us your internship calls or fill in the template attached, and we can spread this information to the students of the Universities and Training Centres members of ENCATC.

As more and more educators introduce a European dimension in their curricula, they also encourage their students to look for an internship in another European country. Also the students themselves recognise the need and value of a working experience in another country than their own for their future career development. Cultural cooperation within Europe is an element of cultural life that cannot be ignored by any organisation in cultural sector and therefore the demand for employees with European experience is constantly increasing. However, finding a suitable internship abroad seems to be not an easy task. The problems encountered are mostly due to a lack of precise information about the organisations able to and/or willing to accept a trainee from abroad. Other obstacles to student placement and mobility include also the lack of funding (travel grants, etc.) as well as not sufficient information available for the potential host organisations.

If you offer or you are interested in offering internships for students in the field arts and cultural management, please fill in the template attached and send it to Rosa DIAZ DOMINGUEZ, to
communications@encatc.org or to the fax: +32.2.2030226

best regards!
