Liveurope is the first pan-European initiative supporting concert venues in their work to promote European music diversity.

Our key mission is to give incentives to concert venues to promote the circulation of emerging European artists through a bonus mechanism and a European quality label. Launched in 2014 with the support of Creative Europe, our platform gathers 24 music venues in 24 European countries and has supported 5000+ concerts with up-and-coming artists of 40 European nationalities.
 
We are looking for a communications and projects trainee (x/f/m) to join our small but dynamic team based at renowned music venue Ancienne Belgique, one of the founding members of our initiative. The traineeship will be carried out as part of the trainee’s studies and will start in late September or early October 2025.

• Collect and manage data, maintaining up-to-date databases (e.g. press contacts, venue programming information).
• Assist in the planning and delivery of events, such as the Liveurope Festival.
