About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

If you feel shivers from corporate lifestyle but get excited by the vibe of free art, culture and activism this is it! We are one team running two independent cultural centers Stanica Žilina Záriečie and Nová synagóga in small city Žilina, Slovakia and we seek 3 ESC volunteers for a 1-year-long experience.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Nowadays, independent culture in Slovakia faces pressure and attempts at censorship and defunding. But we stand for freedom of expression, want to stay an open and safe community for everyone, and we aim to keep the most vibrant program possible. With around 300 events and several festivals a year, we believe you won’t be bored. Volunteering with us should not be just a line in your resume, but a chance to become part of a community that changes things around for the better.

🎒 Leisure activities

The offer includes:

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Through your stay you´ll be guided by wide range of poffesionals from the field (sound/light designers, project managers, event coordinators atc.). You will increase your knowledge of cultural management, the cultural sector (slovakian and international), help with creative projects and event organization. You will gain practical experience and new skills in one of chosen areas (tech, PR, event management) that could later benefit you when finding a job. We are not a state organized facility. We are NGO and that comes with freedom of choice in what projects/program we do and how we do them.
Deadline: 20/08/2026 00:00

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).
What do we provide ?
