Job Opening: OpenVillage Festival producer in Brussels

Process and budget?

Ahead of a call with @Rozina and @khushboo.b9 : @Noemi and I have reflected on a process we would like to have the producers to follow in building the event with us:

  1. The weekly community call. Every week the producers runs a one hour online video, document what is said, and publish it as a short post in the Openvillage- Coordination group. The weekly calls always take place on the same day and same time every week to simplify communication. Ahead of each call, they prepare an agenda for what will be discussed, and publish it in the form of an event on eventbright/FB. Time estimate: 3 hrs/ weekly call.

  2. The monthly evening talk and dinner. The producers crowdsource a calendar of interesting events taking place in Belgium (Brussels). They then build partnerships with the organisers of the events to organise evening talks and dinners to which people who attend the main events are invited as featured speakers. See a previous one we did with @Ezio_Manzini. Discussions during the event are summarise in a blogpost and published on OpenVillage Coordination Group. Time estimate: 1 day/ month to update the calendar + 3 days to organise each event ( set up eventbright/FB event & Circulate invitations + catering).

  3. Social Media. Help @Owen to produce status updates (tweets) in French and Dutch for the weekly featured posts right after our weekly coordination call. Owill publish a post like this one, and the producers post the status updates as comments. Time estimate: 20 minutes/week.
