Description

Give yourself one more reason to stand out by adding a professional research internship to your resume. Share your performing arts expertise by interning with a cultural arts group in Quito, Ecuador, the country's cultural and political capital. Focus on your area of interest - dance, music, or theater, and help with event programming in that discipline. You will contribute your own creative input to the organization, culminating in a final project that will showcase what you have learned. Since this internship is a research and arts administration internship, your final project may be a guide to the information, a specific project or event that you helped organize, or a showcase of the information you acquired for the library.

Highlights

* Live with a host family and build relationships while practicing your Spanish skills
