"Stranger is a truly European initiative on, by and with young people.
It?s about where they are, who they are, and where they want to be. And
it?s all on video."
WE LOOK FOR
We would like to invite two students of cultural, communications or
media studies to join our team as interns for three days a week for a
minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 9 months, starting in January 2008.
Applicants must be registered students in a higher education institution
throughout the course of the internship. Studies of an international
character or international experience are seen as an asset. Important:
the intern must have a valid work permit for the Netherlands, according
to Dutch Labour Law.
Both internships will take place in Amsterdam, within the Stranger
Festival team in the ECF. Stranger builds on the ECF?s 5-year experience
from the international youth video project theoneminutesjr.
THE PROJECT
Stranger is a youth video project which will bring together communities
from more than 25 European countries. Stranger will enable some 500.000
young people to express themselves and creates a platform where they can
