Capital of Culture Secrets |
Hi there,
First of all, let me tell you that
the week with you in
An entirely new experience for me
was the job shadowing. I was one of the people who went to Liverpool Culture
Company thanks to Mark’s organization. Isabel, who advised Anna and me, was
very nice. We split up the one-day shadowing into two halves and we went there
on Friday and Tuesday. On Friday, we attended a meeting with a delegation from
a city which will be capital of culture in some years. The people of Liverpool
Culture Company provided them with information on financing and organizing such
a big project and later on a professor of the university talked about the
impact the title “Capital of Culture” has on a city even after the year of
celebration. To me, this was an insight into the organization of an event like
“European Capital of Culture” you would not normally gain and I thought it was
really interesting.
On Tuesday, I went to Isabel’s
office to get a closer look at her duties in the Culture Company. I met her
boss and some of her co-workers, who all talked to me, asked me where I came
from and how I liked the city and the events they organized… Even though I had
to do the typical paperwork when I was at the office, the afternoon was very
interesting because of the people I met. One of the last tasks Isabel gave me
was surprising: She had received an Email from a division of
All in all, the job shadowing was
exciting and gave me a great overview of one of the professional fields I will
also be able to work in when I have finished my studies.
I hope the other job shadowers
enjoyed their shadowing as much as I did and I really hope you all had fun
during your week in the European Capital of Culture!
Best wishes,
Lisa
