This might be of interest to some here who are a) between 18-24, live in
London, interested in GLAMs and are on school/university break in the new
year. It's not specifically a Wikipedia thing, but potentially could have a
Wikipedia angle to it if a Wikipedian was awarded the gig.... I've also put
this notice on the Wikiproject London talkpage.
The Museum of London <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_London>
is offering
two paid
internships<http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=150699278312205&re…
their "stories of the world" project:
"The Museum is looking to take on two interns to be part of the Stories of
the World: London project, part of the MLA’s national Stories of the World
programme, one of the major projects of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
In this project the Museum is working with young people aged between 14-24
to explore the theme of place through Roman history and its legacy today. It
will involve working as part of a team and representing the voice, views and
aspirations of young people in 2010. The role will involve exhibition
planning, events management and youth engagement work. You will take part in
a wide range of duties including helping deliver creative workshops,
planning a festival of events and exhibition research and development. An
interest in working in the museum/arts/heritage sector is necessary. Strong
creative, organisation and communication skills are vital to this role. An
interest in London and its history and its ability to engage young people is
important."
For young people aged 18 – 24
£7.85 per hour /35 hours per week
8 week placement starting Monday 31st January 2011.
Unfortunately there is very little time before the deadline closes: 31st
December.
