Student placement in Cairo, Egypt

To all third and final year BA and MfA students

Two-week fully-funded placement with Alwan wa Awtar, Cairo
(25 January – 9 February 2025)

In this fully-funded internship with Alwan wa Awtar you will be working alongside Alwan wa Awtar’s staff with young people delivering art workshops and art projects.

Established in 2005, Alwan wa Awtar (A&A) is a non-governmental organisation based in Cairo, Egypt that offers artistic and non-formal educational services to children and youth in different community settings, both urban and rural.  A&A’s goal is to enrich children and youth social and cultural wellbeing as well as awaken them to their full potential as dignified, authentic and skilled individuals, who actively engage with their own development and that of their communities.

Across the years, A&A has developed a unique experience in operating highly participatory learning spaces in multiple communities (namely Mokattam, Ezbet El-Nasr, & Kafr Hamza) adopting “arts for development” as its core methodology. Today, A&A runs three service units: the Mokattam community space, the Montessori child corner, as well as the Knowledge Hub which brings A&A’s know-how to various entities active in the cultural, educational and developmental field across Egypt.
Since its inception, A&A has worked with more than 10000 children and youth, 250 mothers and 50 partners.
