AGORA is looking for interns!
Agora has been built with the big dreams and hard work of many people. Without them this place wouldn’t stand the way it does! If you are interested in supporting us and volunteer to see how we do things around here, or if this fits as an internship within your studies.
Are you curious, creative and do you have a hands-on mindset?
Do you have enough curatorial interest to research people and projects happening in Berlin?
Are you fluent in English, in German, or in both?
We are looking for you!

Agora is currently in research in order to build the pilot phase of the project, studying the best way to engage communities and bring together the constellation of people and projects that could create the environment we envision. The Agora Team is looking for one person that would support this process.
