EUNIC Job Shadowing Initiative 2020-2021 launched
EUNIC’s mobility scheme for cultural professionals, the Job Shadowing Initiative, enables colleagues working in the network to exchange knowledge and gain skills. Interested colleagues can apply until 1 August 2020.
Have you ever wondered how other EUNIC members plan their programmes worldwide? How clusters collaborate successfully? How EUNIC Global works with the EU institutions in Brussels? Then the EUNIC Job Shadowing Initiative is just for you. Visit colleagues in your city or country or around the world, or engage in an online exchange. The 2020/2021 edition is now open for applications until 1 August 2020.
Mobility of cultural professionals is called for in the Council Conclusions on International Cultural Relations of April 2019. EUNIC’s initiative contributes to the implementation of this priority. In the first edition of 2019/2020, 63 colleagues from 33 countries were selected to visit 18 hosts from the EUNIC network. 16 colleagues were matched to visit the EUNIC Global office.
