Werving projectmedewerkers Ithaka
Tussen 6 en 12 maart 2023 gaat Ithaka ‘Down to Earth’ door: een kunstenfestival waar jonge kunstenaars hun kunst kunnen exposeren in een leegstaand pand in de Leuvense binnenstad. Dit jaar wordt er gefocust op het thema ‘natuur in al haar vormen’. Om dit zevendaags kunstenfestival vlot te laten verlopen, zijn we op zoek naar projectmedewerkers die mee willen zorgen voor een te gekke 31ste editie van Ithaka.

What does LOKO do for you?
Representation
We live to represent students. LOKO representatives are always busy to making student life in Leuven better, when it comes to sports, internationals or cultural or social themes.
LOKO represents their students in everything that has to do with Leuven. That means housing, food, mobility, diversity, culture, ecology, Acco, but also the faculty bars, and nuisance and party policies.
Become a volunteer
An organization like LOKO is almost exclusively run by volunteers. By students who tackle the problems they see, by students who like to organise activities for a large crowd, but also by students who want to learn new things, gain experience, and get to know new people.
Are you interested in becoming a volunteer? Or are you simply curious as to what is going on behind the scenes? Don't hesitate to contact us at loko@loko.be
Services and support
LOKO offers services to students and other organizations. We offer subsidies and a rental service for student unions and other affiliated associations.
Students themselves can come to us with problems concerning their rental deposits, for our array of workshops, or to help them with all the challenges that come with being a volunteer.
About LOKO
We are here for every student in Leuven: whether you study at the UCLL, the KU Leuven or the Lemmensinstituut, whether you call Belgium your home, or you're calling it your home away from home.
We consist of students who support all students, organize events, or support other (student) organizations in their initiatives voluntarily.
