Kosovo
Kosovo is one of the most intriguing potential candidate countries of the European Union and a country with a very dynamic art scene.The Cultural Trainee Program for Cultural Managers Austria-Kosovo, which started at the beginning of 2023, was the pilot project and starting point for the entire program.
Since then, more than 12 promising young cultural managers from Kosovo had the opportunity to work for two months at some of the most interesting Austrian cultural institutions. Several trainees are still in contact with their former host institutions and implement the experiences they gained back in their home country.
The Republic of Kosovo was an obvious starting point for the project, precisely because we think of culture in an international, especially European context. European solidarity and initiative should not only be left to the new partner countries, but can also come from Austria.
