📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
All the volunteers will be involved in the processes related to the everyday operation of an independent cultural venue. This is mostly promotion, production and administrative tasks. For the promotion of the venue, participants will help with A4s social networks, distributing posters in the city (2 times per month), basic graphic design, web design, etc. For the production, the participants will sell tickets before the events, are the host of foreign artists who perform in our space and prepare basic technical equipment. Besides this, the participants will help with the maintenance of the venue. Each of the volunteers will be specialized in a specific field: photo or video documentation, technical support or a journalistic specialization.
Other activities depend on mutual discussion and on individual preferences, background and profile of the volunteer. They can develop their own project (for example workshop, exhibition, blog, movie, zine, podcast etc).
