Zambian Office (Lusaka):

 

Radio producer

For our weekly radio show on UnZa FM, Kambisa! is looking for a radio producer who can help the DJ prepare for her live call-in show. Kambisa!OnAir. deals with issues of the young people, and invites people of opposing opinions to come to the show and discuss their differences on air whilst listeners have a chance to phone in. As we are also fighting stigmatisation, at times generally stigmatised groups like prostitutes and street kids are given a chance to express themselves and their life styles without interference. If you are open minded and interested to learn more about producing a radio show, please get in touch with our radio manager Lenn.

> if you're interested to work with Kambisa in another way, check out the general vacancies below.  

Dutch office (the Hague):

Marketing medewerkers

Op korte termijn is Kambisa! op zoek naar marketing medewerkers die op vrijwillige basis de komende projecten onder de aandacht willen brengen. Het gaat daarbij om de launch van de nieuwe website (eind september) en de promotie van een reeks documentaires op basis van de ideeen van Zambiaanse jongeren (december-januari). Het gaat hierbij om publicaties in Nederland en diverse Engelstalige landen. Een hebben van een internationaal (media) netwerk en het vloeiend spreken van Engels is hiervoor een pre. Het opstellen van persberichten en nieuwsbrieven maakt deel uit van de werkzaamheden. 

Fondsenwerver

Kambisa! is per direct op zoek naar iemand die ons op vrijwillige basis kan helpen met het verwerven van fondsen, het vinden van sponsors en particuliere donaties om ons te helpen de komende projecten te realiseren. Vloeiend Engels spreken is een pre, ervaring en een goed netwerk nog meer.

Programmeur educatieve projecten en debatten

In 2008 wil Kambisa!  de verhalen van de ondergerepresenteerden introduceren op een aantal middelbare scholen en debatten organiseren op hoge scholen, universiteiten, festivals en de traditionele discussie podia. Hiervoor moet contact worden gezocht met een groot aantal organisaties en moet begeleidend materiaal worden opgesteld, gebaseerd op bestaande verhalen, radioprogramma’s en documentaires. De programmeur zal zowel verantwoordelijk zijn voor de samenstelling van de informatiepakket als voor de organisatie van de lesmodules en de debatten. De functie kan evt. in tweeen worden gesplitst en kan grotendeels van huis uit gedaan worden. Een goed netwerk in de multicultrele samenleving is een pre.

Stages 

 Kambisa! heeft een aantal stage mogelijkheden, zowel in Nederland als in Zambia. Neem voor een lijst met de stagebeschrijvingen van 2008 contact op met This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

- authors
there are some topics we want to discuss in our next issues, but we need people to do it.
For instance, we would like somebody to write a article on ones rights when dealing with the police, somebody to interview celebrities like Sista D. and somebody to follow the local courtcases, pick a victim and the suspects in her/his case interview both parties and make follow ups on them. These things can be written without professional journalistic skills as long as the writer clearly indicates his or her position and article is written, like all others, in a readable fashion. The editors of Kambisa! are willing to give you some hints or help when writing.
Beware! the author allways remains responsible for his or her own work: think about the potential consequences of publication before you start!
If you can't read or write, contact Kambisa! and we'll find somebody to help you out.

- translators
translating: mostly from one of the local languages into English for the magazine, later we might need things to be the other way round as well....

- storyfinders & transscribers
go out of Lusaka centre, find people who want to get their story published and help them getting it in Kambisa! ALLWAYs tell people their story will be used for publication before writing their story down and handing it over!!!!! We need their explicite permission as they remain responsible!!!! Make sure people understand the potential risks of publication under their true name before they agree. If necessary, we can publish things under a fake name, but this has to be indicated. Ask for name, age, sexe and profession/ societal status. Again...the editors of Kambisa! are willing to give you some hints or help when writing.

- representors
people to go the organizations, individuals, events etc. which could play part in Kambisa! (f.i. human rights awareness organisations, NGOCC etc) ask them if they know about it, what they think about it, want write a colum for it etc... do so, but do so AFTER consultating the rest of the Kambisa! – people, or at LEAST This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . Though we all want to promote individual freedom, Kambisa! as a project should stand for something, we cant have people going round claiming to do so on our behalf without the rest knowing about it and supporting their stance.

- digitalizers
people who can type incoming paperwork into the computer for further editing

- editors
people who can reread other people's work, comment on it, correct sentences that are too long or confusing, the incorrect use of words etc. This job needs some skill - whether by nature or schooling doesn't matter, but we need to be able to rely on your work.

- correctors
correcting grammar & spelling, people who are fluent in written English

- visual artists
people who can help preparing the final texts for print, who can do the lay-out or help in making some nice illustrations to give some air to the texts or to lively up the cover

- marketeers
people to help promoting the magazine, to get some media attention, make posters etc. Anybody who can bring us a new advertiser, gets 10% of his first payment. See ' adverts'

- productioners
stappling, folding and sorting the sheets after they come from the printer, taking them there, collecting them, bringing them to EHC for cutting etc..

- distributors
making sure the magazine gets exposure in as many places as possible, signing 'contracts' with the ones selling or .... selling yourself! (commission 1000 kwacha per copy, this is the only paid job at the time of writing)

AND naturally, we need...

- IDEAS
if you have any ideas of people to interview, stories to be written, production to improve etc etc.... let us know!
