As part of the programme for the European Capital of Culture, many projects will be carried out by so-called Bid Book partners. Theatres, associations, initiatives and other cultural organisations are carrying out small and large projects in the fields of sport, music, crafts, literature, dance, neighbourhood, democracy and diversity. Based on the Capital of Culture’s Diversity Programme, you can help shape many of these projects by supporting the project management. You will not only get to know different parts of the city, but also many creative people who want to work with you and your international perspective.

You should be curious about many different projects with many different cultures and be committed to diversity, variety and equal treatment of all people. You will support several small projects that promote these values. Skills in communications, event organisation, social media, graphic design or even some technical experience, for example in transport and logistics, will help us. A general interest in art, culture, music, theatre, sport, sustainability, creativity or similar would be great.
