¡Hola desde España!
We are a group of academies specialized in teaching kids, young adults and adults through specific language courses. Proyecto Español (Spanish for foreigners)www.proyecto-es.com, STUDIO 3 (English Academy) www.studio3.es and INSTITUTO BERLÍN (German Academy) www.institutoberlin.com are part of this group called PROYECTO IDIOMAS.
As an academic institution, we know the importance of giving students the opportunity of having a first contact with the professional world. This is why we want to introduce you the internship vacancies for 2016.

The Direction of Cultural Affairs and Student Initiatives (DCI) and the Direction of International Affairs are glad to launch a call for candidates for the 4th Edition of the University Performing Arts Festival (Creation Unlversitaire Festival) of the University of Angers, which will be taking place from Thursday, 17th March 2016 to Thursday, 24th March 2016.
The University of Angers wishes to highlight the talents and the artistic skills of university students and staff of our university and of our partners. This year, once again, university creativity, in the broadest sense of the term, will be celebrated: theatre, dance, music, photography, plastic arts, cinema, street arts, brass bands…
This festival, which is open on an international level, has been created in a spirit of sharing and exchange. It is a unique opportunity to discover unknown artistic expressions and to build special relationships among artists.
The full application form is to be returned by Tuesday, 1″ December 2015 to dci@contact.univangers.
Hier gibt es die nötigen Unterlagen:

With the so-called Arab Spring and Occupy, but also with the German PEGIDA, a seemingly new transnational wave of dissent movements has arisen. What we consider new in these movements is their constitution as a heterogeneous multitude based on physical presence, temporarily gathering an otherwise highly diverse population. As much as these groups appear united concerning their shared enemy – namely political and economic elites – as well as with regard to the name in which they act (“the people”), they remain of inner dissent insofar as they put the possibility of an overarching identity of the movement into question. What we witness, hence, is the dissolution of the belief in traditional emancipatory movements united by class, gender or ethnicity standing up against a hegemonic regime and its substitution by the hope for the subversive and revolutionary potential of a post-identitarian counter-public performing their being-in-difference. Yet, their ability of representing “the people” seems to disappear in spite of the proposed inclusiveness and multivocality, as their radical dissent leads to non-representation: They refuse to traditionally represent “the people” by making claims or engaging in formulating positions.
At the same time, these protest movements certainly stand and fall with the production of symbolicpolitics likely to be disseminated via social media sites, newspapers and TV or radio broadcasts .Pierre Bourdieu had already noted that the success of mobilisations depended on the existence of a “symbolic apparatus” for the production of epistemological claims about the world – a fait social that becomes even more decisive regarding the organisational ephemerality of current movements. Taking this changing notion of political movements with their underlying anti -hierarchical, non-representational, fragile and network-based logic as a starting point, the workshop aims at critically investigating current formulations of dissent by specifically broaching the issue of the (im)possibility of representing the unrepresentable. By doing so we evidently focus on the so –called crisis of representation but aim at enlarging this debate to those intentionally organising to “disrepresent” representation.
Engaging this problematic, the following question may serve as our starting points:
How is non-representation performed on the streets, for the mass media or in more intimate settings?
Which symbol practices are employed and to what extent are they grounded in narratives of earlier protests or resistances (e.g. the altermondialist movements of the 1990s, the uprisings in French banlieues in 2005-2007, or the riots in the UK in 2011)?
How do these practices connect to current discussions of direct democracy (e.g. David Graeber’s thoughts on anarchist anthropology in the wake of Occupy)?
Can we discern national, social, cultural or gendered lineages that contain (and maybe limit) these narrative and aesthetic forms?
COYCOY:COYCOY unterstützt musik-, kunst- und sportbasierte Bildungsprogramme in benachteiligten Regionen. Aktuell in Partnerschaft mit zwei Organisationen in Kapstadt, Südafrika. Im Bereich des Fundraisings gehen wir unkonventionelle Wege und schlagen die Brücke zwischen Spaß- und Erlebniskonsum und sozialem Engagement. Unsere Kernzielgruppe sind junge Menschen mit popkulturellen Interessen. Wir finden sie auf Festivals, Conventions, Parties, in Clubs und im Hochschulumfeld.Kampagne:
im aktuellen Wintersemester starten wir eine Fundraising Kampagne in Kooperation mit Hochschulen und Hochschulgruppen, die Studenten und Studenten-WGs in ihrem direkten Umfeld anspricht. Inhalt der Kampagne ist 1. ein Förderbeitrag für unsere Partnerprogramme in Afrika 2. eine Gewinnverlosung mit gesponsorter Privatparty als Hauptgewinn und 3. ein Präsentationsevent mit Kunstausstellung und anschließender Party.
Engagement:
für die Produktion der Kampagne suchen wir aktuell Studierende, die sich mit unseren Inhalten identifizieren und denen unsere Aktionen gefallen. Konkret benötigen wir Unterstützung bei der Kommunikation an der Universität, sprich Studierende, die in in eine Multiplikatoren- bzw. Botschafterrolle schlüpfen und gemeinsam mit uns die Inhalte von COYCOY teilen. Mit dem AstA der Universität Konstanz haben wir bereits einen Kooperationspartner, der Support bei Flyer- und Plakatdistribution leistet. Für den Ticketvorverkauf suchen wir noch Unterstützung.

With the so-called Arab Spring and Occupy, but also with the German PEGIDA, a seemingly new
transnational wave of dissent movements has arisen. What we consider new in these movements is
their constitution as a heterogeneous multitude based on physical presence, temporarily gathering
an otherwise highly diverse population. As much as these groups appear united concerning their
shared enemy – namely political and economic elites – as well as with regard to the name in which
they act (“the people”), they remain of inner dissent insofar as they put the possibility of an

that becomes even more decisive regarding the organisational ephemerality of current movements.

Call for Participation
Deadline: THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO NOVEMBER 2ND, 2015
Following the success of the i-Docs Symposia in 2011, 2012, and 2014 we are now seeking proposals for papers, case studies and projects for i-Docs 2016.
To reflect the rapid expansion and evolution of the field, and growing interest within academia and creative practice, we are expanding the Symposium to take place across three days. Convened by Judith Aston, Sandra Gaudenzi and Mandy Rose, and hosted by UWE Bristol’s Digital Cultures Research Centre, i-Docs 2016 will be held at the Watershed in Bristol’s Harbourside on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 2nd – 4th March.
We will be joined by keynote speakers including 2015 Tribeca Storyscapes award-winners May Abdalla and Amy Rose aka Anagram, Patricia Zimmermann – co-author of Thinking Through Digital Media, Chris Sizemore – Executive Editor BBC, and Vassiliki Khonsari – Executive Producer iNK Stories – 1979 Revolution.
This year’s symposium will focus on three themes that reflect key developments in the field:
- Machines for Thinking
- The Uses of Immersion
- Evolving Practices
We welcome proposals for panels, papers, case studies and alternative forms of debate that cover (but are not limited to) these themes. Interventions around design, impact, evaluation, business models and cross-cultural perspectives are welcome across all three themes.
We are also eager to hear from practitioners who want to show and discuss new work, and work-in-progress.
