"When I told my fellow students about my internship at NonFiction, they reacted jealously. And rightly so! Couldn't have imagined a nicer internship!" – Natan, intern 2020

NonFiction Photo Community

NonFiction Photo is an ideological organisation with an eye for its people. Here you work both independently and in a team as part of a diverse team in a creative environment. You have plenty of room for self-development, get a look behind the scenes of a large-scale cultural event and can meet (well-known) photographers. The team meets up monthly for consultation and conviviality and ends the period with a party. Thanks to the direct way of communication, there is a lot of room for your own initiative and creativity.

Further benefits

  • Participation in the training programme for tour guides
  • Participation in workshops such as photography, metal, design and excel
  • Free admission to all events, including the VIP opening and the Academy program with guided tours and lectures

Working Period

In overleg werk je twee tot acht maanden aan deze functie. Je kunt aansluiten vanaf april. In het voorjaar kun je meewerken aan lesinhoudelijke projecten; in het najaar zijn lesgeven, trainingen en workshops een focus; en in november en december zijn locatiemanagement en het geven van lessen en rondleidingen belangrijk.

You work two to three days a week, mainly at our office between 10:00 and 18:00. The working days and times can be agreed upon and changed in consultation, although training courses, workshops, lessons and guided tours are fixed. Working (partly) at home is also negotiable.
