About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Are you ready for one year of immersing yourself in experimental arts? A4 - Space for Contemporary Culture is looking for two European Solidarity Corps volunteers starting in January 2024! You will be part of a creative team and learn how an independent cultural center functions. You will do this through the general tasks which are related to marketing, production of events and videos, assisting with arts residencies and project management. The volunteers we are searching for will each also have their own specialization and tasks related to that: photography or events and video technical support. Besides that, you have the chance to develop your own (creative) project, e.g. workshop, exhibition, podcast or lecture. You can become a part of the team of four volunteers where the other two are specializing in video documentation and marketing & communication. Together you will create a media team also responsible for A4 Zine, a monthly magazine for our international audience.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Expenses within the project are covered by the European Union. We offer accommodation in a shared apartment close to the forest for all four ESC volunteers. Travel costs to and from Slovakia at the beginning and end of the project are covered. There is 1 bike available for commuting around the city. The volunteers also receive a transport card for travelling within the city. The participants will receive pocket money and food money. This is around €320 a month.

🎒 Leisure activities

1. On-arrival and mid-term training during the project. 2. Regular weekly meetings with the all A4 team members. 3. Regular weekly meetings about particular topics and tasks with our experts (production, PR, management). 4. Regular weekly meetings with ESC coordinator. 5. Workshops and trainings with external professionals on topics such as event videography, graphic design, sound recording and postproduction, photography and more. 6. Any other needed support for developing your own competences and your own projects. More info about the ESC opportunity: https://a4.sk/esc-call-122023/

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: You have an interest in contemporary art, culture and society & want to be part of a creative team. In A4 you will learn how an independent cultural organization works. In this context, you work in a team and bring in pro-active energy. The work schedule depends on the program of our events. Therefore you have to be flexible. Do you have a creative approach, are you dedicated and do you actively look for new tasks and activities? Then we are looking for you! It is a plus if you have some skills in photography, web design and general knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite.
Deadline: Application deadline: 31/12/2023

ℹ️ Additional information

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).
