About
Pekarna.Tv is a pilot project of the Cultural Association and Youth Center Indijanez, the purpose of which is to present cultural events, local scene, society , everyday life and practices, cultural happenings and diversity - through the eyes of young people. Multimedia portal www.pekarna.tv (currently in the making; launching in December) consists of various programmes that cover topics such as: activism, social commentary, documentaries, short interviews, local events, concerts, youth scenes, social and behavioral characteristics of urban life etc.
The aim of Pekarna.TV is to be an independent, alternative television that reports about young people, society, different problematics (marginalization, discrimination, youth unemployment, prejudices, corruption, ecological and environmental problems etc.) and cultural events in lines with freedom of communication and expression. There is also room for humour and irony. The spirit of Pekarna.TV is that of pacifism, active citizenship, freedom, critical thinking, tolerance, co-existence , anti-capitalism and anti-consumption, well being of all species etc.
The volunteers will work in production of contents for Pekarna.tv from conceptualization to filming and making the final product, namely videos for the online television. They can work in front of or behind camera. Volunteers will work for 6 months in the city of Maribor, Slovenia.
The project has been designed to be a part of the EVS program. The volunteers will gain knowledge and experience in the following areas:
- Fieldwork
- Photography
- Film & TV production
- Computer design and desktop publishing
- Journalism
- Video editing
- Multimedia
- Design
We are looking for creative, independent, open-minded individuals with a strong interest in working with camera and different people. Knowledge of English language is a must. We do however also understand German.
Pekarna (meaning bakery in Slovenian language) is a complex of ex-army barracks squatted in 1994 and turned into a cultural center. It has an alternative status in the city and is a meeting point for different subcultures and various young people. Our organization also runs a club (called MC) in Pekarna complex where concerts, exhibitions and cultural events are taking place regularly.
