The International Network for Traditional Building, Architecture and Urbanism continues to grow at an exciting pace, with new chapters and members joining from all over the world. As our community expands, so does the opportunity to celebrate and share the work, ideas, and the traditions that shape our built environments.

We see video as a powerful way to bring these stories to life—helping to showcase the people, places, and projects that define the Network’s shared efforts.

In line with current trends in digital communication and knowledge sharing, we are inviting a volunteer to help us develop thoughtful, engaging video content that reflects the depth and diversity of the INTBAU network.

Volunteer – Video Content Editor (Social Media & YouTube)

INTBAU is seeking a volunteer to support the creation of video content for our social media channels and YouTube platform. This role focuses on producing clear, engaging, and professional videos that communicate knowledge related to traditional building, architecture, urbanism, and building crafts in a contemporary and accessible way.

This voluntary role may be of interest to anyone with an enthusiasm for architecture, urbanism, building crafts, media production, design, or related fields. We welcome applications from individuals at different stages of their careers, including those seeking to build experience, broaden their portfolio, transition into the sector, or return to practice.

Alongside contributing to an international organisation working across architecture, urbanism, and building crafts, you will gain exposure to a global network of practitioners, academics, and institutions.

Volunteering overview

The volunteer will assist with creating and editing short-form videos for social media, as well as longer-form video content for YouTube. Footage and core content will be provided by INTBAU staff.
