Description:

Study/Work Placement GAP Programme
Location: Berlin, Germany
Dates: Winter 08, Spring 09, Summer 09

Citytravelreview.co.uk based in Edinburgh, Scotland, attracts participants each year to take part within our study/ work placement GAP programmes. Participants are usually undergraduates, post graduates or working people taking a short sabbatical. Some are individuals or groups looking to do something different to take some time out to reflect, learn new skills, change career direction or to do something new while being productive with their time.

We currently organise two programmes in the winter for 3 weeks, spring for 3 weeks and summer 5-6 weeks. A Travel guide Project and a Filming Project.

Add to your CV or Portfolio

You will attend a German language school to learn German. During the afternoons you will work as Travel Researchers/review journalists and be thoroughly involved within your creative team, creating a professional tourist guide aimed at young people and students visiting the capital. You will write reviews for restaurants, attractions and entertainment, city history etc… A second project assignment is very similar creating a series of short podcasts. You will attend workshops and be aided by a professional working team. The guide is published and distributed to various language schools, backpacking hostels, and tourist offices and agents to hand out free to young people and students. So if you are looking to gain new skills or looking to get a step into the media or creative industries simultaneously working in another country and gaining some new language skills to add to your CV or portfolio, please look no further.
