Internship — part-time or full-time — 3 to 6 months
In our work at Perspectivity, we make extensive use of Sprockler, our methodology and online tool for storytelling on complex social challenges. It is now widely used and with good results by municipalities, NGOs, civil society organisations and international organisations. Yet, this methodology is still new to many people and organisations. So there is much work to do to spread the Sprockler story more widely, to explain the methodology, and to put the many experiences and results in the spotlight. For this, we need your help!
Tasks
In this internship, you will participate in a number of Sprockler projects. You will help think about forms and ways to bring out the Sprockler story even better. And you will carry out activities aimed at communication and (online) marketing. We think of the following concrete tasks:
- writing news items for the website and social media
- creating inspiring descriptions of successful Sprockler projects
- making explainer videos about the Sprockler methodology
- thinking along about other forms of communication and collaborating on them
- compiling the newsletter
- contributing to the development of the new website (sprockler.com)
- supporting colleagues in writing news items, project descriptions or blogs
- identifying relevant (online) platforms to share our story
- designing a attractive invitation to participate in a Sprockler survey
- experimenting on social media to increase involvement of our target groups
- thinking along and co-implementing new plans to reach new target groups
We will determine the exact content of the internship in consultation with you and possibly your study programme.

About us
Perspectivity is a collective of experienced professionals who help organisations find new solutions to complex social issues. We work extensively with municipalities, NGOs, ministries and international organisations. Themes we frequently work on are social issues, energy and sustainability, development cooperation, women and youth, and infrastructure.
In our assignments, we conduct participatory narrative research, asking people on a large scale about their experiences and ideas around a current issue. For this, we use Sprockler, an innovative methodology and online tool for storytelling that we developed ourselves ten years ago. With Sprockler, we collect authentic stories and experiences from people on a large scale, and visualise the patterns in all those stories. In this way, all stakeholders around a complex social issue are given a voice, their perspectives are heard and space is created for new insights and innovative solutions.
