Programs
Each semester, teams of university students in Greece – as part of The Demos Center of The American College of Greece – are placed in an internship at the Municipality. Eligible students can receive internship academic credits to participate in an innovative urban studio program.
The first two participating municipalities are Kifissia and Elliniko-Argyroupoli—both GCoM signatory cities within the greater Athens region facing increasing climate challenges including extreme heat, wildfires, and flooding.
Students can choose one of the following partner placements to complete their internship.Each partner description below includes a short overview of the internship program focus, and a link to the application portal.
