Narva Art Residency NART is looking for an education specialist to develop a programme of activities for schools, adult groups and exhibition visitors. This is a fresh direction for NART, which we can build up with a new person. The educational activities will draw on the existing exhibition programme, the work of the artists and the historic building itself. Supported by the British Council’s P2P programme, the project will run until the end of 2023, but the aim is to find ways to continue working long-term.
We are looking for a part-time colleague who will be involved in strategy development, and brainstorming and who will be at the heart of the implementation process, leading tours and creative workshops. He/she will be responsible for developing, leading and launching the education programme. An important part of the job will be communication, creating ties with schools and teachers, and hosting school groups, including giving creative workshops. The specialist will also be responsible for finding long-term funding for the continuation of education activities. These things can be done by one person, but it can also be a small team. Candidates should indicate the role or roles in which they see themselves.

– is interested in linking arts, culture and education.
