Information for host organizations
Robert Bosch Cultural Managers are always assigned on 1 August to cultural institutions that concentrate on cultural exchange with Germany or wish to systemtically build up a corresponding field of activity. The assignment is initially for one year but can be extended to a maximum of two years total if the project is progressing well.
The cultural managers provide conceptual and organizational support to their host organizations. The cultural manager’s tasks include connecting host organizations with other cultural institutions, conceptual development and fundraising, project work and public relations. Projects are primarily focused towards young people. Cultural managers have completed degrees relevant to their field of work, have experience in project work and are supposed to bring with them knowledge of the host country and its language. Alongside their tasks at the host organization, they will receive training in international cultural exchanges through regular seminars for junior managers. They receive a grant from the Robert Bosch Stiftung which also covers visa and insurance (health, accident, personal liability and travel insurance) costs.
This years call was the last one for host organisations to apply for a cultural manager.
