Young freelancers wanted for our new project Sphera
Published on
We like to work with young, energetic content makers — welcome to SPHERA.
What is SPHERA?
SPHERA is a consortium of independent national and European media delivering inspiring and empowering social media-first content. Our main channels are Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
SPHERA will gather audiences from generation Y and Z in different countries who are interested in European current affairs and debates linked to the topical issues of our times, such as climate change, the future of work, and social inequality.
SPHERA produces community-oriented videos and podcasts—as well as online and offline debates— in a fresh and assertive tone of voice.
What we are looking for
The SPHERA team is looking for young content makers who are eager to collaborate in a cross-border community. More specifically, we are looking for proactive individuals aged 18-30 who can help us produce scripts, photos as well as video- and audio-clips for Sphera’s distinctive 1-minute-long video formats:
voxpop; press-roundups; tiktok-style sketches; explainers.
The aim of this call is to create a roster of content makers, journalists and aspiring journalists from as many different European countries as possible.
All published work will be remunerated at a gross hourly rate of 30,00 Euros. We expect selected freelancers to spend a maximum of 3 hours of work on the production of photos, video- and audio-clips for a given content-format.
We plan to commission work on a recurring basis from selected freelancers.
