Eurovision Song Contest offers 24 singing and dance students a internship

The Eurovision Song Contest offers 14 dance and 10 singing students from the Rotterdam-based Codarts and Albeda Collega a internship. A unique opportunity, especially at a time when the current corona measures for cultural students make it difficult to find an internship.

The internship itself is also unique: the students are used as stand-in and prepare the various acts of the 41 countries in detail. With these stand-ins, all aspects of the act can be optimally prepared, even before the delegations start their rehearsals in Rotterdam Ahoy.

Franklin Ignacio – DDA | Internship agency Albeda Danscollege: "The fact that the Albeda Dance College in Rotterdam has been delivering successful graduates for years is now clear. For example, the ESF 2021 dance crew consists of 5 alumni and 3 fourth year students have been added. This internship opportunity is certainly a bright spot for our MBO students, many of whom have lost internships due to the current situation. Now they get a unique opportunity to put what they have learned into practice in a huge production in recent years!"

Eurovision councillor Said Kasmi: "I think it's great that the organization of the Eurovision Song Contest offers this unique and undoubtedly unforgettable internship to students of Albeda and Codarts. I hope this example inspires companies and encourages action. Because more than 4000 MBO students are still looking for an internship in the Rhinemond region. Today's students are the employees of the future!"

The 24 students for these internships have now been selected. The stand-in rehearsals will take place from April.
