📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

STPLN is a production house open to creative projects in the social, cultural and creative sector. The house contains shared workshops, studios, event facilities and drop-in offices where individuals, groups and organisations can bring their ideas to life. A new addition to the offerings of the organisation is STPLN:LAB, a creative incubator and residency program for young creatives at the beginning of their careers in the CCI.

STPLN offers different workspaces, each geared towards a certain sort of making. These include dedicated working spaces for woodwork, screenprinting, media lab (including darkroom, photo studio with audiovisual equipment) electronic workstations, a Makerspace with laser cutters, 3D Printers and a textile department.
In addition to the facilities, STPLN offers structure, planning, marketing and administrative support. Projects that take place at STPLN vary from short temporary workshops, seminars or exhibitions to long residence projects developed in the house for several years. In common, these projects operate in the fields of art and culture, technology and design, crafts and education.

STPLN creates spaces to meet, network and collaborate, sparking exciting conversations and supporting the creative community to grow. Additionally, STPLN produces its own program of events, inviting artists, designers, makers and thinkers to share their skills and explore the creative process with the wider community. STPLN is also a popular meeting point for the southern Swedish start-up scene and tech industry.

💼 What the programme involves

NOTE: APPLICATIONS ARE ONLY ACCEPTED ON HERE https://stpln.org/escopencall The Interdisciplinary Program is an ESC project organised annually by STPLN in Malmö, Sweden. “Creative Impact Makers” is this year’s theme. The program is a ten-month (September to June) ESC experience for three young, aspiring European creatives to gain experience working within the Creative and Cultural Industries. Volunteers will form an in-house interdisciplinary creative team tasked with various communication-related activities utilising a range of mediums and techniques.

Upon completion of the project, volunteers will depart with an outstanding portfolio of projects and the ability to develop clear and effective communication campaigns for diverse purposes.

ℹ️ Additional information

Working with the team at STPLN, volunteers will commit 38 hours a week to a dynamic program over ten months. You will get the chance to use your skills working in a creative team developing and marketing communication campaigns. You are invited to develop your own project using the material and human resources available in-house. Volunteers will receive mentorship from the staff at STPLN. Various out-of-house activities and collaborations with other local organisations will be a part of the program. You will also help out with the daily maintenance tasks at the house.

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
