Your tasks

One of the ways in which Stichting NICC provides context for the collection is via timelines: https://stichtingnicc.nl/door-de-tijd/tijdlijnen/. The timelines provide an overview of the changes that have taken place around the theme in question. Oral histories, collection material and videos form the basis of the timelines. As an intern, you will work together with themed experts on timelines on various topics. As an individual internship assignment, you can also create the setup for a new timeline. In addition, you help with the internal communication with the volunteers, social media and with the organization of web-table-talks (webinars) about the timelines.

Our offer

An inspiring internship in a young foundation with passionate volunteers. Unfortunately, as a young foundation with few financial resources, Stichting NICC cannot offer an internship fee. However, this internship offers you the opportunity to gain experience and knowledge in the field of international cooperation. In addition, you have the creative freedom to start new initiatives and you can do research in a topic that you are interested in yourself. This also makes the internship easy to combine with a thesis.
