Call for Volunteers: RUTA Annual Conference
Call for Volunteers: RUTA Annual Conference
The RUTA Association looks for seven volunteers for the inaugural RUTA Association Annual Conference that will be held in the Carpathian Mountains, Ukraine, on June 27th – 30th, 2024.
The RUTA Association promotes and supports Central, South, Eastern European, Baltic, Caucasus, Central and Northern Asia studies. The founding of the RUTA Association aims to transform the regions’ positions from objects of study to active and visible epistemic agents. RUTA centers and builds on the knowledge, scholarly traditions, and expertise of scholars, artists and social justice advocates in the regions. It grows from epistemic communities and solidarity networks formed in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The inaugural RUTA Association Annual Conference will be held in the Carpathian Mountains, Ukraine, on June 27th – 30th, 2024.
We cover expenses for volunteers participating in the conference.
Responsibilities:
- Registration and check-in assistance
- Provide attendees with a schedule, venue maps, and general information
- Help with the setup of session rooms
- Ensure presenters have all necessary materials
- Answer questions and provide support to the participants
- Providing safety instructions for the participants in case of an air-alarm
Additional responsibilities for transporting participants from the hotel
- Ensure timely pick-up and drop-off of the participants
- Communicate clearly with participants about the schedule, meeting points, and any changes in plans
In addition to general event support, we also have a need for one experienced babysitter to provide childcare services during the conference for two children. This role is paid (indicate the price), and we need someone with a background in childcare.
