[Job Opportunity] Rickshaw Theatre Project: Opportunity
Applications are now open to tour manage The Rickshaw Theatre Project 2016!
The Rickshaw Theatre Project provides a unique opportunity to pursue interests in many different fields: education, drama, travel, development and cultural exchange.
We are looking for two enthusiastic and committed people to become the tour managers for this year’s Education and Theatre trip around India and Nepal. Over the past nine years, Cambridge students have travelled to India and Nepal in August/September visiting schools and NGOs with the aim of taking theatre to disadvantaged children and teenagers. The aims of Rickshaw Theatre Project include using drama as a means to help these children build self-confidence, lasting relationships and teach other valuable life skills through this medium. To learn more about the project itself, and the trips in 2015 and previous years, visit our blog: https://rickshawtheatre2015.wordpress.com/.
The role of the tour managers will be to co-ordinate and lead this trip; a hugely exciting opportunity for anyone with a flair for organisation and a passion for travel and theatre!
Applications should include:
- What excites you about the project?
- Why do you think you would be good for this role? You may include an outline of any relevant experience.
- A discussion of any problems you think the project may present and how you will combat them.
Applications will be taken individually or in pairs, with the aim of having tour managers selected and ready to assemble the rest of the team in February. Please note, taking this role will involve considerable commitment across Lent/Exams terms as well as the summer. Further, the costs of the trip will most likely come to over £1,000, but there is scope for considerable fundraising, so do not let this put you off applying.
Application deadline is Saturday 9th January, with interviews falling soon after, and applications should be sent to Phoebe and Rebecca at rickshawtheatreproject2015@gmail.com. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, or would like to meet informally to discuss the project.
