I. Communications Officer for the ECF Stranger Festival
Communications and Press Relations on a free lance basis
THE PROJECT
The Stranger Festival 2008 will bring together 3000 young video-makers from the Netherlands and from across Europe to the City of Amsterdam. The festival will be a fantastic experience for the young participants (age range 15 to 25) as there will be the opportunity to participate in workshops led by leading European broadcasters, exchange artistic views, show and comment on videos, and on day three, to contribute to a debate with politicians and policy-makers on their experience of Europe. Participants will be asked to personalise the Stranger brand, upload their videos on the Stranger website and there will be awards for the best videos made. Promotion of the festival will kick-off with a call to young people to contribute videos, and the special website will go live early in 2008.
