Role of the volunteer
We are currently seeking a volunteer who can contribute to culture and media projects, such as exhibitions, events, and social media content, specifically related to migration and integration. We are looking for candidates with skills in social media content creation, photography, and video-making, as well as an interest in migration and integration topics.
One of the tasks is supporting the project “my voice.my power”. This project aims to counter existing inequalities and discrimination against marginalized groups. It empowers young people to recognize the dangers of inequality-based ideologies and understand their rights in a diverse society—encouraging them to claim and defend those rights. The project runs both online and offline and is active on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Current topics include sexism, online hate, and migration/asylum.
Additionally, the volunteer will assist the team with events, library management, and office tasks as well as in the creation of window displays. There are also two other ESC projects at our organization, providing the volunteer with opportunities to engage with other social initiatives. This voluntary position offers a unique opportunity to be part of impactful intercultural projects, supporting local community and fostering a sense of togetherness in a diverse society.
Starting Date: October 2025
Duration: 10-12 months
