- Legendary Berlin club Tresor is launching a mentorship scheme to find the next crop of nightclub managers. Run out of Kraftwerk by Tresor's owner Dimitri Hegemann, its former booker Diana Alagić and sociologist Martin Fuller, the Academy of Subcultural Understanding will invite six young people to Berlin to take the 12-week course, which will train them in theory and provide paid first-hand experience. Candidates are required to speak German and English, and the deadline for applications is November 20th. "We started the Academy to promote club and subcultures in Germany and abroad, by helping young people develop their skills and knowledge to successfully run their own venue," said Fuller. "We want to see more clubs and venues, not only in the big cultural metropoles, but also in smaller cities where people often—too often—don't have access to this important part of culture. Subcultural spaces like clubs are enriching for both people and cities: they offer a space for communities to form, and a place for collective ecstatic experiences." He added: "They're good for cities because young people are less likely to move away when they have community and a space they love, which has long-term economic and social benefits." Find out more about the Academy of Subcultural Understanding, including how to apply, via the website. On November 24th, Tresor and Resident Advisor are hosting their first collaborative event. The party will feature Sunil Sharpe, Jossy Mitsu and more across two rooms, Tresor and Globus. Find the full lineup via the event listing below. Photo: Camille Blake
