Truc sphérique

Žilina, Slovakia

Description

Our EVS volunteers are involved in almost all the processes related to everyday operation of independent cultural venue. They sell tickets before the events, they distribute posters, prepare guest room or catering for artists, help us at the café. For this particular EVS position, the main activity will be working with our team of 3 technicians (2 light guys and 1 sound enginner) - preparing all the events (concerts, theatre and dance shows, film projections, discussions, festivals, etc). Previous experience needed. Other activities depends on mutual discussion and on the individual preferences, background and profile of the volunteer. He/she can develop his own activity which makes sense and fits with our programme. During 12 months spent in our organisation, the volunteer can gain unique experience for people who would like to continue working in the independent cultural field. We are looking for a person who will actively look for new tasks and activities if he will be idle.

Ordninger for innkvartering, mat og transport

We usually host 3 EVS volunteers at a time. Now, we want to have 5 volunteers due to growth of our organization, venue, events and tasks. Our volunteers are accomodated in fully equiped rented flat(s) with separate rooms, in a walking distance from the venue. In Žilina, our town, 85-thousand people live, it is located not far from mountains. This town is suitable for walking/biking, mass transportation not needed. Each volunteers gets 270 eur monthly for food and pocket money. They can cook at their flat, the kitchen is fully equipped. The travelling costs are covered fully.

Training during the activity

The volunteer for this project needs some previous experience - at least basic level working experience with stage setup, light/sound equipment, basic electricity knowledge more than welcome. We are looking for a person who is willing to work hard and learn more, with the team of our three skilled technicians who will share their knowledge and purely practical experience from years of work in Stanica and other venues. Our technical team provides top-quality service for all the artists coming to perform here. You can be part of it.
