About Öppna Kanalen in Växjö:
Öppna Kanalen Kronoberg (ÖKK) 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.

The reason why the channel is a non-profit organization instead of a commercial TV channel is that all citizens, and the members of the organization,
should have the strongest influence over what ÖKK airs. Öppna Kanalen Kronoberg is and has always been a channel for and by the citizens.

We are based in Nätverket SIP (Network SIP), which is a great network with organizations with different aims and backgrounds and plenty of weekly activities we all can take a part in.

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.
 
The volunteers will be working for 35 hours per week from Monday to Friday. Nonetheless they are encouraged to take courses in Swedish, thereafter all about the working hours could be dealt with individually. The Swedish lessons count as working hours. We are always open to discuss individual needs and wishes. 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
  • arranging discussion groups linked to film or societal issues
  • hosting international meetings and information meetings on specific topics such as the election process
  • welcoming drop-in visitors
  • help with productions (adding in and testing equipment, working with scripts, recruiting any actors or extras and more)
→ The volunteer is not expected to do this himself, but here different people take on different roles. In the case of larger productions, the supervisor or other staff will be the production coordinator. If it is a small film project, the volunteer can be the production coordinator himself.
  • support with social media: collecting or creating new content, working with quality assurance, monitoring discussions and questions and interacting with the audience
  • taking photos, editing photos, writing texts, making your own short films (15-60 seconds) or cutting short films from previous material
  • take responsibility for one or more activities; this includes in detail:
    • planning with the supervisors and mentors
    • booking premises
    • production of marketing materials
    • communication with potential participants
    • recruitment of any additional leaders
    • purchasing or procuring materials for workshops or coffee breaks
    • preparing in the premises
    • receive participants and welcoming them
    • lead the activity itself
    • After the activity, cleaning / removing
    • sending out any subsequent information to participants
    • carrying out any evaluation
    • compiling material (for example at a workshop, or editing a film that has been created)

→ Some of the tasks revolve around networking and interaction with people. Here the task is to participate in various events or activities of other organizations, to meet different people and spread their message. This can also include meeting people in digital forums or groups, and inviting people to participate in activities and events.
