Production Assistant for Workshops and Digital Programs

Bekijk ‘t specializes in cultural education at the VMBO and PRO (vocational education) levels. We always start with the media and art forms that young people themselves enjoy using, such as film, music videos, and podcasts. These media and art forms are constantly evolving, which requires us to maintain a curious, open, and flexible attitude so that we can keep pace with them.

For 23 years, Bekijk ‘t has been actively supporting students in the VMBO program. We actively advocate for a sense of ownership and a positive image of this diverse and talented group of young people. Bekijk ‘t values their strengths, talents, and expertise highly, and we want to share that appreciation with a wider audience.

Bekijk ‘t believes that students have the right to tell their own stories. That is why we provide students with the tools and skills to create their own films and media, and to discover and develop their artistic talents. To this end, Bekijk ‘t collaborates with passionate film and media teachers, many of whom are former vocational high school students themselves. This helps young people envision a future for themselves as artists, reporters, creative producers, or filmmakers.

Bekijk ‘t strives to be an inclusive, (radically) equitable, and safe workplace. Through our programs, we actively seek to help combat inequality (including opportunity inequality) and the stigmatization of young people in VMBO. VMBO students are a highly diverse group, with as many stories as there are individuals. They need role models who reflect their cultural backgrounds, religions, genders (and gender expressions), neurodiversities, (physical) disabilities, and educational pathways. We believe that our own organization should reflect that diversity.
