Are you an advocate for refugees’ rights and want to help make a difference? Do you have experience in translating and subtitling for grassroots organisations? Then we are looking for you!
Europe Must Act (EMA), a growing European movement advocating for fair and humane migration policies, is currently looking for subtitlers who can work out of English into a variety of languages. This is an online volunteering (unpaid) position.

Responsibilities:
Your main project will be subtitling our Raising Voices YouTube content out of English into other languages. We would like this content to be accessible to as many people as possible and so we are looking to get as many languages as we can. There is a lot of content, so we expect this to take a few months.
Potentially helping with other translation needs, e.g. translating consent forms

Fluent in English and at least one other language
Experience with translation
Experience with subtitling conventions, or willingness to learn
Good knowledge of the European migration context
Ability to work independently and in a multicultural team
Time requirement: approx 4-5 hours/week for minimum 6 months

Why volunteer with us?
Being part of a growing Europe-wide social movement
Working and meeting with volunteers and activists across Europe and growing your network
Participating in professional training
Working in a multicultural, diverse and fun work environment
