Citytravelreview has offices in Edinburgh, Scotland and Berlin, Germany and attract participants each year to take part within our study/ work placement GAP programmes. Participants are usually undergraduates, post graduates or working young people taking a short sabbatical. Participants come from all different backgrounds, with the following purposes to gain valuable work experience, improve foreign language skills, or to possibly change career direction in order to move into creative, media, journalism, travel writing, design or fashion industries. Participants are usually put in groups with similar ages with people that have complementary skills to add to the team. The guide is non profit making although participants are rewarded with bonuses in the form of activities, excursions and fun target related bonuses according to deadlines being met.
We are accepting applications for all groups. A Travel guide project along with a travel guide group producing a series of pod casts.

You will attend German language classes to learn German. During the afternoons participants work as Travel Researchers/review journalists and are thoroughly involved within the creative team, creating a professional tourist guide aimed at young people and students visiting the capital. Information gained in the language learning can also be incorporated within the guide. Participants design whole guide from start to finish from layout, photos, graphics, writing reviews for restaurants, bars, cafés, attractions/entertainment, city history etc.… A second project assignment is very similar creating a series of short pod casts. Participants attend workshops and are aided by a journalist & professional working team. The guide is published and distributed to various language schools, backpacking hostels, tourist offices, universities, small and medium sized business` to hand out free to young people. The guide is also used as an online resource. Typical activities involve visiting local business`, newspapers, international manufacturing companies, breweries, trips to historical locations. The work normally stays in circulation for a minimum of 1 year. So if you are looking to gain new skills or looking to get a step into the media or creative industries simultaneously working in another country and gaining some new language skills to add to your CV or portfolio, please look no further.
