Volunteers
How to get involved
We are looking for volunteers to work on Borders, Books & Bikes between 18th- 22nd August 2011. Jobs range from stage management, hospitality in the green room, to meeting and greeting festival participants. We expect enthusiasm, a willingness to learn, and professional conduct. Accommodation and meals will be provided over the weekend.
Beyond Borders is also looking for permanent volunteers between June-August 2011 to assist in the run-up to the festival, as well as assisting a range of other events in August including film screenings at the Edinburgh Filmhouse, an exhibition of Libyan graffiti at the Scottish Parliament and evening talks at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh. We are a small initiative, so our volunteers work closely with all members of the team, and have a wide range of talks including marketing and publicity, research and administration – and an input into the design of the festival programme itself. We are looking individuals with a developed interested in literature and current affairs.
To apply, please email Izabella at info@bbscot.com including your CV and a cover letter telling us why you’d like to work with Beyond Borders.
