“CREATIVE EUROPE supports culture. We explain how!“ / Berlin und Bonn
“In November, the Creative Europe Desk CULTURE in Bonn and Berlin each offer two coextensive one day seminars respectively, including training workshops.
In focus will be the partial programme CULTURE of CREATIVE EUROPE, which is mainly aimed at working together in a European context, supporting the professionalisation of cultural workers and their mobility as well as attracting new groups of audiences. Boarder crossing, innovative cooperating projects are at the heart of the partial programme CULTURE and are therefore the main focus of the seminar in terms of goals, supporting criteria and application procedures.
At the workshop, participants will practice in groups how to develop project concepts in line with the programme and get a closer look at what makes a successful EU application. These seminars are suitable for beginners and everyone who wants to extends their prior knowledge of the partial programme CULTURE.”

The Central Agency of Foreign and Professional Affairs
… “supports and advises all theatres with a dance division, free professional companies as well as job-seeking dance artists nationwide (in both German and English).” (1) The ZAV-artists agency helps dancers find employment on state stages, communal, free and private companies in German speaking areas as well as Denmark and Sweden. On top of that, the agency supports students in state-owned universities and approved training centres in the shape of mentoring, job shadowing and for their first auditions. (2)
Compared to other advice centres and management departments of the employment agency the ZAV- artists agency features three important special characteristics:
1. All members of staff have worked in an artistic profession before – for example dance – so they posses vast professional knowledge of the business.
2. They not only address dance workers (dancers, ballet directors, choreographers, ballet masters, dramaturges) but also the employer side (theatres, stages, companies, event organisers). This allows for a better matching. Naturally the counselling is confidential!
3. Requirements to be accepted into the ZAV-artists agency are on one hand a completed professional dance education and then successfully passing one of the challenging ZAV auditions that take place at least twice every year. (3)
Dates for 2017 will be on our Facebook-page and in our Newsletter in advance!

The Bachelor degree in clothing technology/manufacturing is a very interdisciplinary course within the field of the engineering sciences. A very high practical relevance is evident, as processing technology, material engineering or the basics of machine technique are significant parts of the curriculum that have to be practised during on-going production.
Aside from mathematical and technical basics of producing materials and clothing, the course will also teach chemical and physical know-how, for example by analysing and using the huge variety of different materials and textiles – mainly in cooperation with relevant businesses. The hugely growing market of „Smart Textiles“ plays a main part: fabrics with for example waterproof and/or fireproof properties that are used in the work clothing of certain occupational groups and for interior fittings of various means of transport.
Apart from these technical and scientific competencies, clothing technology is also all about the material production processes itself as well as business skills such as corporate management, since the worldwide textiles market is highly competitive. A keyword here, which connects again to the growing importance of „Smart Textiles“, is innovation or innovation management. In this context, the subjects of marketing and logistics are also very important.
Other than that, basics of design, theory of colour and the use of colours are of course also covered. Optional subjects allow specialisation in fields such as design and material, marketing and economics or the before mentioned material engineering.
After their very versatile studies, clothing technologists usually work in the textile and clothing industry. They organise and monitor the industrial production of textiles. Furthermore, they are responsible for the design of new textile products and research for new production technologies. As the production of textiles keeps changing due to ever-new technology, it is a very interesting and diverse occupation with international perspectives. Many textile engineers are working in the car, aviation or space travel industry. They manufacture space suits, car seats or airbags.
Many graduates of textile engineering also successfully assume management responsibility, for example in sales.
