The Goethe-Institut offers a six-week training fellowship in Germany to members of cultural institutions from the Arab world. Deadline: 10 May 2014.
Apr 2014Organizing festivals, planning exhibitions, monitoring budgets and launching advertising campaigns: cultural managers shape the cultural scenes in the Arab world. While responsibilities expand, practical experience alone is not always sufficient for success.
For this reason, in September and October the Goethe-Institut is offering a six-week cultural management training for members of cultural institutions from the Arab world for the fourth time since 2011. In this training, practical examples are presented by experts from theory and practice and discussed in dialogue with the participants from Morocco, Egypt or Iraq. The seminar language is English.
The four-week seminar phase in Berlin and other German cities is followed by individual cultural manager residencies at member institutions of the KulturpartnerNetzwerk of the Goethe-Institut (all over Germany).
The programme aims at professionalizing Arab cultural workers, developing a sustainable pan-Arabian network between cultural institutions and promoting cooperation between Arab and German cultural institutions.
Participants will be selected by the relevant Goethe-Instituts in North Africa / Middle East (e.g. Goethe-Institut in Tunis for participants from Tunisia). The programme is designed for up to 15 employees from cultural institutions in the Arab world (e.g. curators, museum workers, festival organizers, gallery owners, theatre professionals) as well as freelancers in the cultural sector.
Participants of the cultural management training in 2013:
“The intense workshops geared me up with a set of new skills and a wide network, that I am planning to cooperate with in my home country doing cultural projects.”
“The programme was rich and very helpful - particularly in terms of planning, marketing and strategic management.”
