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.

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.
