Creative Cultural Space Facilitator @ OMA
Other Music Academy e.V.
Weimar, Alemanha
Descrição
The Other Music Academy (OMA) is a multilayered empowerment center with international community arts projects (www.othermusicacademy.eu ). We run a building in the small town of Weimar, considered one of Germany’s cultural capitals. Our building is in the final phase of big renovations & transformation. During your ESC we invite you to help run OMAcafé open and our concert and workshop series, and co-create the structures for renting technical equipment and rooms in our building. We would like to involve you in our social media team, and give you the opportunity to work with our team in the implementation of our yearly Yiddish Summer Weimar Festival (www.yiddishsummer.eu), and get to know logistics, management and hosting of a thriving international learning community. Besides supporting the facilitation of our OMA-building, you will also have the opportunity to develop a small-scale project(s) on your own. After all, we are curious about your ambitions and potentials!
Comparticipação nas despesas de alojamento, alimentação e transporte
You'll receive a monthly ticket for public regional transportation in Weimar and all of Germany (the so-called “Deutschland Ticket”), and if desired a bicycle for inner-city transportation (Weimar is a bicycle-friendly town). We will provide accommodation for you. You'll share a flat in Weimar with 2 other volunteers. Each volunteer has their own room but share common areas (kitchen/bathroom). Money for food will be provided on a monthly basis (313 € / 10,43 € per day). Pocket money: will be provided on a monthly basis. It is 7 € per day.
Formação durante a atividade
You will receive support and information already before the start of your service. In Germany, you are going to participate in mandatory seminars (on arrival & mid term). This way we are ensuring that you can make the most of your time here and have the chance for ongoing personal development. At the OMA, you'll have a tutor that you'll closely work with. You'll also take part in biweekly team meetings and regular feedback sessions. Our ESC coordinator will help you out with bureaucratic hurdles and your mentor with problems that may occur in the working environment.
Perfil do participante
Hi! PLEASE, DO NOT WRITE US EMAILS! For the position, please apply here as well as fill out our application form: https://forms.gle/13tcLQoWkAwvzZu7A
Please do not use AI to write your application! We want to know the real you — not a bot.
We welcome motivated, flexible, friendly, curious and self-confident volunteers with good communication skills and ideally a sense of humor. Good skills in written and spoken English are necessary. Basic to good knowledge of German might be useful, as we work a lot with local communities.
It is very helpful for this position to have basic skills with management and communication tools. Ideally, you have previous experience with hands-on community or event organising.
At the same time, OMA is approaching the end of a long renovation and transformation phase. We are developing the house into a lively place for community, creativity and many different kinds of projects. This means we are also looking for people who are happy to get involved practically and are not afraid of hands-on work in the first months. Tasks may include cleaning, moving furniture, helping to set up rooms, painting walls, supporting small creative projects like building shelving / storage furniture for our workshop rooms. The building will be noisy and dirty at times, as it's a construction site. We also have a small garden that needs care, attention and love. Around the house, we organise flea markets, concerts, BBQs, community events and many other activities that invite neighbours and local communities into the space.
So if you enjoy combining communication, organisation, creativity and practical work, this could be a very good fit. We welcome volunteers from diverse backgrounds and aim for a work environment sensitive to discrimination. The OMA building is accessible for people with disabilities but please contact us to discuss your needs with us. If need be, the start and end date of the project can be discussed.
