About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Our NGO focuses on contemporary art and culture in Žilina and we are operating our events in a former Synagogue and an old but still functioning train station. For this particular project, the main creative activity will be photo documentation of the events and activities we do. You will also be responsible for uploading the photos on our online photo archive. You will also be a part of our technical team - setting up stages, lights, and sound. Our volunteers are involved in all processes related to everyday operation. They sell tickets before the events, they distribute posters, prepare guest room or catering for artists. Other activities depend on mutual discussion and on the individual preferences, background and profile of the volunteer. You can develop your own activity which makes sense and fits with our programme (for example workshops). During your stay in our organisation, you can gain unique experience for people who would like to continue working in the cultural field.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We have around 4 ESC volunteers at a time, working on different parts of the organization, venue, events and tasks, as well as working together. Our volunteers are accommodated in fully equipped house with separate rooms, in a walking distance from the venue. In our town, 85-thousand people live, it is located not far from mountains. This town is suitable for walking/biking, mass transportation is not needed. Each volunteer gets 330 euro monthly for food and pocket money. They can cook at their flat, the kitchen is suitable for eating together. The travelling costs are covered fully.

🎒 Leisure activities

We share our knowledge within all the team. We constantly teach each other and we permanently learn from each other. Same with ESC volunteers, we try to share our skills and experience with them. In the starting period, the volunteers are introduced into the work of every crew member, so they can understand who does what and how. This enables volunteers to decide what they want to focus on, what activity and skill they want to develop or grow. We have trust in the volunteer that they can learn by practise and give them the tools and support needed.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profil: You should be an independent and flexible thinking person who is eager to see how an NGO funded cultural centres operate. You don't need to be an expert in either the field of photography or technical setup, a basic understanding or experience is way more than enough and everything else will be provided by our experienced team, mainly made up of ex-ESC volunteers themselves, so a mutual understanding is a must. If you find yourself in these words, apply here and send an email to [email protected]. Looking forward to hearing and potentially working with you!
