Main requirements are a keen interest in adventurous music and art, previous experience in the cultural field, excellent English, Ukrainian citizenship and a biometric passport. Applicants must be at least 18 years old.
All internships resulting from this open call will take place from March 2025 till mid July, as SHAPE+ festivals, taking place in various European cities, happen on different dates throughout the year.
Each intern’s profile and each festival’s needs will be slightly different, but duties of the internship may most likely include: communicating with artists and their management, support with production plans and scheduling, planning logistics, paperwork, and creating content for promotion.
Deadline for applications: Wednesday, January 22, 2025, 23:59 CET (Central European Time).
Selected applicants will be invited for an online interview. There will be a separate selection process for each of the festivals/internships.
