Staff Exchange Mobility Program

The Staff Exchange mobility program helps you kick off your international career as a cultural and creative professional.

Program

The Staff Exchange is a mobility program powered by ECHN that enables staff members of the network’s hubs to visit another creative hub and gain valuable working experience, innovative skills and know-how to introduce in their home hub upon their return.

The Staff Exchange targets professionals of all levels of career and of all sectors of your hub, including production managers, communication officers, bar managers, technicians and more! Participants will receive a financial support to travel to another ECHN hub and experience an up-skilling working experience that can take a customised format: job-shadowing, project-based, workshop, lecture and more.
