*Passionate about public space, community arts or citizen/youth empowerment?
*

*Apply that passion in a meaningful way!*

The *Sustainable Thinking and Expression on Public Space (STEPS) Initiative,
*a collaborative effort that aims to promote sustainable and
community-centred public spaces by engaging inspiring and creative
organizations, informal collectives and individuals committed to using art
as a medium for dialogue on liberating the urban commons, is building a team
of creative and enterprising individuals with a willingness to work
collaboratively in a diverse range of advisory, research, communications and
creative roles.

Through a participatory consultation process, STEPS is connecting public
space enthusiasts to facilitate effective collaboration and the development
of accessible, arts-based, knowledge exchange tools that promote citizen
empowerment and community capacity building.  Environmental arts activists
are being interviewed and are invited to contribute to the development of a
series of best practices for public space activism as well as a public
engagement strategy to facilitate the dissemination of a number of
innovative resources and educational tools. The STEPS participatory
consultation will inform the role, framework and next steps of an
international network of environmental arts activists.

At this time, all internships are unpaid, though there is the possibility
for incumbents to receive academic credit, if their educational institution
recognizes the placement as fulfilling a course requirement. Interns will be
recognized in all final products of the STEPS Initiative, which will be
widely circulated to a transnational audience. Upon successful completion of
internship terms, incumbents will also receive letters of recognition
acknowledging their contributions.
