Be Part of a Cultural Centre: Events, Art & Community
Malý Berlín
Trnava, Slovakia
Description
This volunteering project offers young people an opportunity to gain practical experience in cultural management, event production, communication and international cooperation within an independent cultural organisation in Trnava, Slovakia. The volunteer will become actively involved in the daily activities of a cultural centre, exhibition space and residency programme, supporting cultural and educational events, promotion and community activities. Tasks may include assisting with event preparation, venue setup, working with visitors, event photography and distributing promotional materials. The volunteer will also contribute to international projects, cooperate with local and international artists and engage with the local Ukrainian community. The project is based on a learning-by-doing approach and encourages creativity, initiative and active participation in an open and multicultural environment, including the possibility to develop a personal project.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteer will be accommodated directly in the premises of the cultural centre Malý Berlín, located in the city centre of Trnava. The accommodation is provided in a separate apartment with a private entrance, ensuring both comfort and independence. The apartment is fully equipped and includes a kitchen, bathroom and two separate bedrooms. The volunteer will have their own furnished private room. The space offers a safe, quiet and comfortable environment suitable for both rest and daily living. The volunteer will receive a monthly food allowance.
Training during the activity
The volunteer’s learning process will be based on a “learning by doing” approach through active involvement in organising cultural and community events. They will gain practical experience in event production, communication and visual content creation through daily collaboration with the team, participation in internal meetings and continuous feedback. The volunteer will also have the opportunity to develop their own initiative and gradually take on more responsibility.
Participant profile
We are looking for a motivated and open-minded young person interested in culture, arts and community work.
