Deadline: 6 March 2011
Open to: cultural managers from Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe
Allowance: monthly stipend of 1.000 Euro, travel expenses and health insurance covered, three-month work experience grant for the start of a career after arrival in the home country
About the program
The Robert Bosch Stiftung invites selected fellows from Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe to Germany for a thirteen-month course qualifying them in international cultural management. The aim of the program is to familiarize a German audience with the cultural variety of these countries, to strengthen network structures for workable cooperative ventures between Germany and its eastern neighbors, and to qualify the next generation of managers for international cultural exchange. The program is carried out by MitOst e.V.
The cultural managers will be taking on responsible tasks in a German institution. Both parties enter into an intercultural experience: the fellows get to know about everyday working life in a German institution, and enrich the institution with new project ideas and connections, and the host institutions support the fellows in carrying out their projects.
The focus of the cultural managers’ work is on conveying a current image of their home countries and in presenting young artists in Germany. In cooperation with their host institution, local partners and their countries’ embassies, they run innovative artistic and cultural projects, for which they raise funding and design press and public relations work.
