In partnership with ENCATC member, Université Catholique de l’Ouest in Angers, France, TEE was launched in 2009 with the aim to give international experience to cultural management students. Students prepare a 10 day tour in another European city to meet with cultural operators and professionals, establish contacts and organise study visits to deepen their understanding around a chosen theme. Taking the European Union’s 2011 European Year of Volunteering as their inspiration, 19 cultural management students began preparing their itineraries, meetings, and visits to one of 8 European cities to have a better understanding of youth engagement and volunteering in the cultural sector. TEE blends practical skills of fundraising and project organisation with a methodological component needed for theme content development and research analysis. TEE students will travel and carry out their fieldwork in January 2012 to be followed by a publication of their findings and experiences
