The role of an Editor seems vague to many delegates at first sight. It is not until they see the results of the editor and the Media Team’s hard work that they realise that the role requires vision and creativity. Therefore, we are searching for an individual who possesses these qualities, and more. We believe that an editor must not only have a vision and creativity, but also a drive to see their projects through. We believe that an editor should not only be a good leader, but also an inspiration to their team. Someone who not only guides the members of the team, but also encourages them to realise their own visions and goals for the session. A great editor does all of these things, while also creating a coherent image of the session. An image that the participants of Skellefteå 2021 will cherish and look back upon with joy.
As the Editor of our session you will be given great freedom to do what you deem best. You will not only be capturing the moments of the session - you will play a crucial part in creating the memorable moments of Skellefteå 2021 that people will look back upon. As Head Organisers, we will always be close at hand to provide you and your team with the tools you need to realise your vision.
In return we expect a high sense of responsibility, motivation and a commitment to the session and its vision. We also ask that you possess the ability and willingness to openly communicate with us and others, so that we can shape the session together. The general theme for Skellefteå 2021 revolves around the effects and consequences of climate change upon society. But any topic or societal issue that touches upon society’s need to innovate and adapt is welcome!
We are looking forward to finding the right individual to take the role of our session’s Editor. Someone who will help shape the project with us, and help make the session the best it can be. To us, the ideal candidate is someone who: - believes in the project and the values it delivers to all participants; - is able to lead a group of individuals constructively through the project; - is aware of their strengths and weaknesses; - is able to communicate openly and speak for the greater good of the session and its participants; - is able to commit to this project for the next 8 months.
