The internships below are just some proposals and they are meant as suggestions for specific educations. Every trainee who gets to Folkecenter gets assign a project which is selected together with us; in most of the cases projects are related to one’s education, but this is not necessarly a requirement (not from our side, at least). Many trainees join us on a voluntary basis, without specific obligations from their universities, meaning that they have more freedom in the topic selection.

For those having formal requirements, we discuss together a project which could suit the trainee’s and our needs, so that everybody is satisfied at the end of the period. This means that if none of the positions below are interesting for you, you are welcome to contact us with your own proposal, or you can make a general application and then the topic is discussed with you upon arrival.
