Deltagarens profil
We are looking for a volunteer who is motivated to work in the arts – someone eager to contribute to the field now and perhaps pursue it in the future. Ideally, the volunteer has skills or a strong interest in arts and crafts, such as visual or textile arts, photography, or ceramics. Bringing in someone with artistic knowledge and enthusiasm will enrich the community, while giving the volunteer an opportunity to share their talents and experience. Next year, DAKOHA, together with a few partners, is planning to have a project to expand and develop further art activities for our clients and the wider community. This offers the volunteer a chance to contribute to a growing initiative.
