Passa Porta is looking for young programme creators

Organising literary events as a student job?

We are looking for young book lovers who would like to work with us at our International House of Literature to create literary events with a multilingual audience.

In 2018 we established our “jong comité des jeunes.” A group of young programme creators who have a say in our regular programming as well as create a programme of their own: from the content, to communication & production.

In the past the young editorial board organised events about the use of email in literature, algorithmic poetry, and the literary aspects of videogames.

The young programme creators get the chance to gain experience with setting up a public programme, to broaden their network, and to earn some extra money.

Are you younger than 26 and interested in working in the literary scene?

Then don’t hesitate to apply for our young editorial board!

Send us your cv and a short motivation (max. 1 A4) before October 5.

The motivation statement consists of two parts:

  1. Please tell us about your background, which languages you speak and why you would enjoy working at Passa Porta.
  2. Present one or two programmes you would like to see on the stage of Passa Porta.

Which themes and authors would you like to give a platform to?

Or are there other languages besides Dutch, French, English, you would like to work with?

The selection of the board will be made in October and we will get to know each other better in November at Passa Porta.

All applications and questions can be sent to tessel.veneboer@passaporta.be
