An exciting opportunity to lead the #FootballPeople Festival
Fare is offering a unique opportunity to a dynamic and creative individual to work with us as organiser of the #FootballPeople Festival due to take place in October 2020.
The Festival will consist of a series of sessions that will be a unique gathering of ideas and minds. Taken together the ideas, discussions and individuals involved will be amongst the most powerful on social change in and through football.
You will work full-time remotely and help us to:
- Develop and activate a campaign plan
- Act as a co-curator developing and following up ideas
- Support the creation of publicity and communications around the event
- Act as a speaker liaison
- Help to identify and manage sponsors
You should be passionate about social justice and inclusion, be creative, have an interest in design and marketing, be organised and a good communicator. You should know something about sport and the role it has in creating social impact. A second language is a distinct advantage, as is experience of working with international audiences.
Your primary experience might be in other fields - the media, event organising, etc. - but don’t let that stop you contacting info@farenet.org with your CV and a cover letter. Title the email Football People Festival
Deadline: 6pm CEST (5PM BST), 26 August 2020
