School internships organised in the FORTHEM Alliance cooperation are a new way for teacher students to gain multicultural experience during their studies.

The FORTHEM Alliance’s internships have mainly been carried out virtually, at least during the coronavirus pandemic, but now we are glad to offer school internships for teacher students!

This activity will allow you to get to know a school in the area of another FORTHEM Alliance university and try teaching there. You will gain multicultural experience, practise the use of a foreign language and at the same time promote your studies – read more (Why do this internship).

How can you make this come true? The general application criteria for school internships can be found in the FORTHEM Alliance’s Guidelines (Eligibility) but check your own opportunities for internships in your own university.

  1. Contact your FORTHEM Office and check your chances of implementing FORTHEM school internships
  2. Find an interesting school internship on the FORTHEM Alliance website. Please note the language proficiency requirements! The application period is mentioned separately in each traineeship notice and is school-specific. If the application period for the internship is due, you can still indicate your interest in the offer. Filled training sites will be removed from the system, but there may be room for negotiation regarding the internship periods.
  3. Read the instructions on the Forthem Alliance website for the application procedure and fill in the application form.

The key instructions for receiving funding can be found in the FORTHEM Alliance’s guidelines (Funding), but please make sure that you have access to traineeship support before filling in the application form.
