At OCC we work with interns from many different universities from all over the world. Interns can carry out different tasks and if needed, will also be given the possibility to carry out research that is required for their studies.

The minimum stay for an internship at OCC Spain is 6 months, and in Greece 3 months. We regurarly need interns in the following departments:

• Early age development
• Primary education
• Youth and adult education
• Language teaching
• Translation and interpretation
• Communication & Social Media
• Finance & Fundraising
• Project Management

Important: we only receive Erasmus+ sponsored internships at the moment. You can find more information about that here – please note you need to apply for this grant yourself, and we recommend to apply for the grant before applying to our organisation.

The European Solidarity Corps is the new European Union initiative which creates opportunities for young people to volunteer or work in projects in their own country or abroad that benefit communities and people around Europe.

Open Cultural Center offers a wide range of opportunities for people to join our European Solidarity Corps projects, both in Spain and Greece. Some of the ESC projects we offer are:

• ESC Volunteering
  We offer many volunteering positions within our organisation through ESC, both in Spain as well as in Greece, and all opportunities include housing and a volunteering compensation.
• ESC Jobs & Traineeships
  You can often find great opportunities with us through ESC, either to work with us as an employee or do a traineeship at our organisation.
• Youth Entrepreneurship
  If you have a great idea to improve the lives of people in your community, we can support and coach you with your project.

Very often, we need new volunteers for MigraCode Barcelona, a tech academy for refugees and migrants, one of OCC’s largest projects in Barcelona.
