We are located in the county (Landkreis) of Barnim, formerly in East Germany, which like many places in the East, suffered a significant loss in infrastructure and cultural opportunities following the fall of the Wall. Our goal is to implement more cultural opportunities in our small city and region through education, cultural events and exchanges with professional artists, while encouraging diversity, integration and sustainability. There is much to be done in the region, so your work is sure to make a difference!

Of course, all of the above-mentioned jobs are too much for one person. We are searching for one or two people with experience in one or two of these areas.

You do not need to work full-time in Oderberg. It is possible to do a good portion of the work from home. It is however important to be in Oderberg one or two days a week (depending on the hours you are working per week.) It may be possible for us to offer you a sleep-over option 1-2 days a week. Following completion of our renovation, we will have living quarters for workers.
