PROJECTS YOU COULD IMPACT

Experiences & Facilitation

• Dalberg Media is involved in running several global platforms related to sustainability and innovation. As part of this work, we design and execute experiences that engage a diverse set of stakeholders in the global development agenda through physical and online workshops, convenings, festivals, and innovation labs – all to enable impact-driven people to share ideas and work collectively on local and global development issues. You will have the opportunity to help shape the future of these platforms and support in creating visually appealing materials for both online and offline purposes.

Advocacy & Campaigns

• Dalberg Media works with non-profits, businesses, and governments to support their sustainable development agendas. Prior engagements include working on an online advocacy campaign for access to safe surgery in developing countries, producing an online and outdoor campaign for a utility company on sustainable heating, and supporting advocacy work for a global foundation. As part of this work, you’ll be able to provide produce quality content for both websites and social media, create visual identities, as well as physical materials such as roll-ups, lanyards and posters.

Content Production & Storytelling

• Dalberg Media works to build strong narratives that support the mission of our clients. We currently work in collaboration with FORESIGHT, an independent journalistic magazine, and have launched a new magazine with a focus on non-communicable diseases (NCDs). We have also produced videos for the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and published a book on the SDGs. Here, you will be able to use your skills in creating appealing narratives, content strategies and do graphic design.

NOT JUST ANOTHER EMPLOYEE

• As a consultant, you will be a valued member of the team and play a crucial role across the entire project phase, from research and analysis to execution and implementation. Dalberg’s mission statement is:


• “We are a global group of changemakers working to build a more inclusive and sustainable world where all people, everywhere, can reach their fullest potential.”


• This commitment also extends to our staff. Working for us, you will receive tailored mentoring and training from our senior team. This will help you structure your personal and professional development during your time at Dalberg Media while also empowering you with the skills necessary to take real ownership of the work you’re contributing to.


• You will be delegated significant responsibilities and should thus be ready to take on various roles and work independently and in a structured manner. You will be part of a small and dynamic team that works closely together, and you will work with colleagues on all levels as well as directly with our clients and partners.
