The Culture and Leisure Administration is looking for two event coordinator apprentices who start on December 1, 2026. The education lasts two years and alternates between internship and school. The practical part takes place at Culture and Leisure Nørrebro.

Education location Nørrebro: Culture and Leisure Nørrebro (KFN)

Nørrebro is a vibrant and diverse district where culture thrives. Culture and Leisure Nørrebro therefore plays a central role as the district's cultural generator. A wide range of cultural, sports and library offerings are created here – developed for and with Copenhageners.

We place emphasis on collaboration with many different partners – whether it is associations, organizations or voluntary cultural entrepreneurs – and we always focus on good collaboration and on creating meaningful experiences for the citizens.

As a trainee at KFN you will mainly be attached to four culture houses: Kapelvej 44, Støberiet and Lygten Station - with headquarters at K44. You will work with a team of skilled colleagues on development, planning, operation and execution of both one-off and recurring events. In addition, we have a particular focus on new growth areas, socio-cultural activities, as well as children and youth activities.

We offer

• a versatile education and a personal study plan which is continuously followed up by an apprentice supervisor
• collaboration with dedicated artists, organizations, public institutions and associations
