Competent Event Management to design, plan and organise to let the plan fly!
We facilitate processes of introspection and repair for racialised and oppressed bodies and 'more than human worlds and ecologies, centring holistic care.
We desire to use somatic and artistic tools to explore what justice means for those bodies that have been marginalised and oppressed by racial and colonial systems and structures, both here in the 'global north' and minority worlds and in the 'global south' majority worlds.
We are organising two large events and we need a competent and skilled event manager to plan and organise these events to completion so that they effectively meet their objectives and reduce and manage stress for all involved - and are fun to do! This involves making contacts with key people, arranging venues that are suitable, arranging all travel and accommodation logistics to an agreed standard and following up to ensure everything runs smoothly. A competent understanding of each events objectives will need to ensured and monitored and evaluated iteratively.
The key deliverables are:
To organise a retreat for our key workshop: The Food Journey, which is a somatic and visceral workshop that explores, in a deep way, the complex narratives surrounding the question: 'What is nourishment?' This event will take place in the UK in a comfortable and pleasant venue and the invitees will be no more than 30 individuals, most if not all of these will be already known to CCK.
To organise an international exploration between different communities: 'indigenous' and 'traditional' for approximately 3-4 team members (changing people for some of these trips) to seven different locations internationally and four locations nationally. This will involve initial meetings between those the CEO has been engaging with to form the advisory committee, some of whom will be involved in travel to the different locations. These meetings will take place at different locations in the UK and possibly one location in Europe.
It is expected that the Event Manager will quickly establish secure contacts in each location to support in ensuring the activities can be run competently and securely and meet their objectives.
The person will work with the CEO/Co-founder directly and there may be one other organiser that will be helping to support the role.
There is some flexibility in how a volunteer can help to accomplish this role that can be discussed with an applicant.
Event Management experience
Your support will be key to enabling the project to step off the page into reality in a way that inspires confidence for all who are invited to participate in the event.
The management of these events not only enables their realisation, but also lays a basis for further events in other key localities in the future.
Skilled international relations by the volunteer will support more south to south communication that can cement solid relationships helping to undo centuries of miscommunication and misunderstanding
Interviews to take place as soon as possible post June 15th, 2025 initially via an informal online chat followed up by an in person meet with successful applicant
