Summary

Event support volunteer for various public events that Cambridge Curiosity and Imagination attend.

Detailed description

As part of our collaborations with communities across the East of England, we participate in community days, conferences and creative events.

● Event support - supporting our presence at various events over the year. Assist with setting up CCI’s presence at these events including tasks like furniture set up, art

installation set up. Assisting with engaging attendees and inviting them to join the activity. Assisting with packing up the space at the end of the event.

● Event Photographer - supporting the event by documenting the engagement. Photographs need to be taken following the strict guidelines for each event and

suitable for use on social media, annual report etc. Subject to event photography guidelines, this can be smartphone and doesn’t require professional level equipment.

● Event Scribe - Noting quotes from people engaging with the activities or spotting details. An example from a recent event was a record of the answer to the question

“what does the outside mean to you?”. These notes will then become part of our project reporting, Zines etc.

● Driver - Assisting moving of materials from CCI’s base to event location and collection at the end of the day. Most events may involve a Gazebo, various art materials and other items as required.

About Cambridge Curiosity and Imagination

Cambridge Curiosity and Imagination (CCI) is an arts and well-being charity founded in 2007. We are a creative organisation that works to inspire and enrich communities across our region.

Though children and young people are at the heart of all our work, we design ways for people of all ages to develop their own curiosity and imagination by inviting them into playful environments and giving them the permission to express their own ideas.
