Join our Time Machine team!

 

We seek to recruit two volunteer Creative Content Organisers with multimedia skills to join the small Neighbourhood Network team. 

The Content Organiser’s key responsibility is to assist with compiling and building the web content for our ongoing Time Machine Project. The Time Machine Project is a joint initiative between Creative Ireland, various county councils as well as Neighbourhood Network. Our aim is to create an artistic digital display of images, quotes and artistic responses from our multi-generational participants across Ireland. 

This is a truly feel-good project at this uncertain time. The work of the content organiser will be key in the final delivery of this initiative. This is an opportunity to leave your mark and help showcase the connections happening all across Ireland. We have commissioned a professional photographer to capture portraits of our senior interviewees. These seniors have been interviewed by young people in their communities who have also been charged with creating a creative response to the interviews.  Now we need someone to help us bring the project home and help us tell others about what we have been doing.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a creative, passionate and ambitious team as we grow the organisation from the roots up! If you’ve a grá for projects and have excellent communication, task management and relationship building skills and are dedicated to creating happier and healthier communities, we’d love to hear from you.

About Neighbourhood Network & Street Feast:

Neighbourhood Network is an Irish not-for-profit organisation which aims to promote social inclusion, tackle loneliness and build supportive and resilient neighbourhoods around Ireland. Our work creates communities of empowered people, with a strong sense of local identity, and builds empathy and understanding between neighbours. We have been in operation for over 10 years, running campaigns and programmes that help to build community. 

Neighbourhood Network’s year culminates with its national day of street lunches and community celebrations ‘Street Feast’ that each year brings together over 110,000 people in 1,150 communities, through the simple act of sharing a meal with their neighbours. Since Neighbourhood Network began Street Feast, we have seen a total of 5,563 Street Feasts take place across Ireland. 

We set up Neighbourhood Network with the goal of helping citizens rediscover the ability to be a neighbour, kick-starting neighbourly interactions face to face and street by street. Our activities offer tangible ideas that can be used as an excuse to start off the first hello, that over time evolves into shared experiences and a sense of solidarity and belonging. We strengthen relationships and facilitate the first steps towards building community, leading to less isolation, stronger mental health, a more diverse democracy and healthier, happier neighbourhoods.
