Multipliers Outreach Unit – Post C: LUX Audience Award Trainee

As the voice of citizens, the European Parliament stands for European democracy. The Directorate-General for Communication (DG COMM) amplifies its message of the Parliament to reach every corner of Europe. We help connect Members of Parliament (MEPs) to the people they represent, and we communicate what the Parliament is, what it does, and what it stands for. When Parliament speaks, we make sure it’s heard.

We are committed communication professionals coming from various professional and academic backgrounds.

The Multipliers Outreach Unit forms a core pillar of DG COMM’s in-house communication agency as represented by the Directorate for Outreach. Its purpose is to build, maintain and continuously engage with a network of multipliers to support the European Parliament’s communication on what Parliament does (budget, legislation and scrutiny), what it is (its role in EU decision making) and what it stands for (democracy and European values).

As a trainee working for the LUX Audience Award project, you will be participating in the organisation of events (such as screenings and debates of LUX nominated films and the ceremony) and will be assisting with the overall coordination. You will be in charge of copywriting of draft publications for the website, invitations to our events, etc. A particular attention shall be given to building and expanding the multipliers network with partner organizations within the audiovisual sector. You will also be asked to contribute to reporting on the outreach of events and campaigns by collecting and analysing relevant data and make recommendations accordingly. Last but not least, you will have the opportunity to discover the hectic world of screening rights negotiations by being involved in processing screening requests from EP's liaison offices.

We are looking for a person with interest and affection for communications, especially in advocacy for the culture sector, as well as interest in European politics in general. A passion for European Cinema is definitely an asset for working on the project. Are you a team player that is motivated, creative and willing to take initiative and adapt quickly to a variety of tasks during the traineeship? Are you eager to connect to our cinema partners and built strong links based on our common goals in striving for cultural diversity? Do you have great copywriting and organisation skills? Then you might be the excellent candidate! Experience in collecting and analysing data and using collaborative and project management tools would be considered an advantage.  

You have/will obtain a university degree (level 6 of EQF or higher) at least three months before the starting date of the traineeship.

The European Parliament is dedicated to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace. We welcome all candidates, regardless of their geographical, racial or ethnic origin, political or religious beliefs, age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, civil status, or family situation.
