Editor's Notes
START is a capacity building and fellowship program that empowers these next generation cultural managers in Greece where the reverberations of the economic crises in Europe are strongest. The program comprises two consecutive and competitive stages, a job shadowing phase in Germany and a project implementation phase in Greece. The goal is to enable START fellows to transform an innovative project idea into a cultural initiative and to acquire professional skills to develop the initiative into a sustainable creative venture.
START is a program of the Robert Bosch Stiftung, conducted in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut Thessaloniki and the German Association of Sociocultural Centers.
The goal is to enable START fellows to transform an innovative project idea into a cultural initiative and to acquire professional skills to develop the initiative into a sustainable creative venture.
The program has 3 phases. Phase I = Training & job shadowing in Germany, Phase II = Projects implementation in Greece and Phase III = Closing festival in Greece.
Finally, we are organizing a Festival to showcase and promote the outcome of the fellows’ projects all over Greece. This will happen on the 2nd week of May in Thessaloniki. The festival is a way to celebrate the fellows’ role in shaping the social net needed for youth to be empowered, mobilized and activated in civil society, and in understanding the value of international collaborations beyond governments’ work.
