Jobshadowing – Centre for Culture and Education Sonta (CEKOS)

Project description: During her training at CEKOS, intern Sara Smiljanić expanded her knowledge of theatre practices and learned how to manage programmes and secure funding for them. She also expressed a particular interest in acquiring practical skills in theatre directing, acting, and the technical aspects of theatre production, which were supported by the organisation’s director and team.

Following the completion of the internship, Sara was offered a permanent position coordinating and managing the work of the drama studio. The additional skills she acquired through the job shadowing programme prepared her for this role, as the learning model was specifically designed to match the participant’s abilities with the organisation’s needs. Over the course of four weeks, the programme covered all the knowledge and practical skills required for the position she now holds. Sara is now responsible for leading the youngest group of participants and will direct a theatre production with the older group for the first time. She has also developed a strong understanding of project management and has taken on responsibility for writing project proposals for the organisation, contributing to the long-term financial sustainability of her position.
