Introduction

The internship constitute a fundamental element of the studies that lead to the Degree in Humanities and Cultural Studies, since they allow the student to come into direct contact with the reality of a certain sector, which is linked to the start-up or development of a project or with the work that is done in an institution or company. Likewise, the practices facilitate that the students apply the knowledge and the skills that are acquired in the theoretical subjects and, in this way, complement and enrich an integral formation in cultural management..
