💼 What the programme involves
If you are interested in festival production here is the perfect opportunity to get some experience in the field. This particular project will combine various tasks within Reykjav k city with different partners. This will ensure diverse daily tasks and a rich experience for SEEDS volunteers.
The main task of the project is to give support to DesignMarch 2014, which takes place on the weekend of March 27th -30th. SEEDS volunteers will support the organisers and assist in various tasks related to the artistic events. This is the 5th year in a row that SEEDS supports the DesignMarch!
Possible tasks may include handing out invitation letters, putting up posters around the city, sorting out information in the office, receiving guests at the airport, driving them and running errands for the festival. In some instances volunteers might get the chance to help artists to put up their exhibitions. As volunteers will have to communicate with the project managers, artists and guest it is required that they have good conversational skills in English. Drivere "s license is also mandatory because some of the tasks that SEEDS volunteers will by performing will include driving a car.
DesignMarch is a four day feast for designers, artists, and anyone interested in design. The first five DesignMarch programmes in 2009-2013 were splendid with events reflecting a wide range of designs. For more information on the event follow the link, http://www.designmarch.is
