Volunteer vacancy
Volunteer – cycling with trailer, and optionally helping facilitate cooking, play and building activities in the neighbourhood (m/f/x)
Cultureghem is looking for an enthusiastic volunteer who enjoys cycling with a trailer to transport materials to our activities in the public space.
Would you also like to help facilitate these activities – cooking, playing and building together? That’s possible! It’s not required, but it’s welcome.
Cultureghem is a place where everyone is welcome and sharing comes naturally. From the covered market of Abattoir in Anderlecht – and in streets and squares – we bring people together with our mobile kitchens, play boxes and building kits.
Our work relies on a strong Dreamteam of volunteers: hundreds of helping hands who help make Cultureghem what it is.
Through activities such as Vadrouille (activating streets by cooking, eating and playing together) and MoBil (a flexible construction system to build our own shared space in the public realm), we move through the neighbourhood.
We create temporary meeting places in the public space where people cook, play, build and spend time together.
Everything is mobile, light and accessible – and you play a key role in making this happen.
Would you like to literally and figuratively move along with Cultureghem? 🚲
Your role
As a volunteer bicycle transport helper for mobile activities, you will receive training at Cultureghem and you will:
-
prepare materials and safely load the bicycle trailers before departure
-
transport materials (kitchen tools, play materials, building boxes…) using the electric bike and trailer to and from activities
-
help set up and dismantle mobile activities in public space
-
help ensure smooth and safe transport
-
optionally – if you enjoy it – help facilitate activities (cooking, games, animation, welcoming participants, being a contact point for neighbours)
-
engage together with the Cultureghem team and the volunteer Dreamteam
-
contribute to a welcoming atmosphere, accessibility and encounters in the neighbourhood
You will never be alone: you will receive an introduction and guidance from the Cultureghem team and gradually learn how to work with our mobile tools and approach.

-
