Catalyst
Institute for Creative Arts and Technology is an international learning community, based at the iconic Funkhaus in the creative media metropolis of Berlin. Organised into a School of Music & Sound, School of Film & Visual Media, and School of Acting, our diverse and evergrowing bachelor's and master's degree programmes are based on the values and concepts of progressive, projectbased education whilst complying with the rigorous requirements of a UK university qualification.
Aiming to become the international creative production and performance learning institution of choice, we encourage students to push their creative boundaries way beyond what they thought possible, at the same time engaging with their personal growth as a human being. Simply put, we aim to provide them with a set of skills that allows them to flourish whilst manifesting their interests and their unique greatness more powerfully in the wider world. With students from over 75 different countries, our creative community is a working environment that is international and multicultural.
What are we looking for?

A team member
Moving beyond outmoded ways of working together, striving toward a conscious peoplecentred culture, we operate in a distributed leadership model, which we can describe in more detail inperson. We are excited to invite team members who have the courage to bring more of their own interests, insights, and backgrounds to the mix.
Whilst the aims of the school are what bring us together, what keeps us together in our dynamic community is the idea that people can bring more of their authentic selves and not just their "professional" selves to the workplace.
