About Open Channel Kronoberg
Öppna Kanalen Kronoberg is a regional TV Channel organization. All content on the channel is represented by people with local connections. It’s a non-profit organization.
The idea behind ÖKK is that all people in society should have a chance to express themselves and be heard. So, at ÖKK everyone is welcome regardless of background. We work towards making it possible for everyone to create TV. In a democratic society, it is important that all citizens have an actual opportunity to make their voices heard as everyone's opinions are of equal value. By giving all citizens a TV channel where they themselves decide the content, where they have the chance to be seen and also influence what is to be broadcast, is a privilege that many today fight for in other more turbulent parts of the world.
We share our workspace with other non-profit organizations within Network of SIP. SIP stands for Social change in Practice and, as the name shows, our work focuses on building a more equal and democratic society through new ideas that have an impact on the community.
Work-schedule and team
When it comes to film projects, the volunteer will be part of a larger project group, but when it comes to courses, it is conceivable that you work individually or in pairs. The project group consists of several people from our organization and from partners. It can be staff, volunteers, students or board members. The group works together to develop an overall schedule with activities, a plan for marketing and practical planning (leadership, premises, etc.). After that, everyone in the project group will take responsibility for different parts of the schedule. Besides you will be another volunteer starting at the same time. During your day you’re surrounded by many other people from the other organizations in SIP as well as other citizens of Växjö.
As a volunteer you will work in a small team of people; these might be volunteers, interns, project leaders and project assistant (even from other organizations within Network SIP, where we are based).
The volunteers will be working for 35 hours per week from Monday to Friday. Nonetheless they are encouraged to take courses of Swedish, thereafter all about the working hours could be dealt individually. The Swedish lessons count as working hours.
Besides 2 days off per week, volunteers are granted with another 24 days off for 12 months (2 days off per month).
Volunteer’s role and tasks
→ You will also join other teams of Network SIP during your volunteering, such as the maintenance team. These will include practical tasks like constructing, screwing, painting or driving with a trailer.
