→ What are your tasks?
As a workshop facilitator, you will support the artist or the team of artists in the implementation of the workshop: You help plan the workshop, assist in organizing the workshop materials and space during the workshop. You are available for joint reflection on the workshop and contribute your own ideas and skills (art, social or media pedagogical) as well as your organizational talent. You step in when things need to be organized or arranged at short notice. Above all, however, you are a contact person for the young people in the implementation of their projects and help, for example, if someone needs support with one of the tasks.
The workshops will take place over three days (October 19 – 21) or four days (October 18 – 21) from 10 am – 4 pm in a youth center in Frankfurt. In preparation, there will be an online meeting where you can meet the artist and the Digitale Welten team and discuss the workshop.
