We are looking for students with experience taking notes, to be note-takers at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights’ roundtable discussion taking place in Montreal on January 14th, 7-9pm.
The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is a ground-breaking national museum, due to open in Winnipeg in 2012. The Content Advisory Committee for this new museum is currently visiting 18 cities across Canada for its national story-gathering tour. We are holding public roundtable meetings where we invite a range of individuals and groups to meet with us and share their human rights-related stories, experiences and perspectives. The feedback, suggestions and stories that we gather from these roundtable discussions will inform the exhibitions of this new museum. For more information on the Museum please visit www.humanrightsmuseum.ca
Each note-taker will be paired with a facilitator, and will be required to record the conversation of a small group of 7-9 people during the course of the evening. While verbatim reporting is not expected, detailed and accurate recording of each person’s contribution to the discussion is very important. Note-takers will be provided in advance with a Word template to be used.
Note-takers must bring their own laptop to this event. Speed and accuracy in typing is important. Bilingualism is an asset – please indicate your level of fluency in English and French. Note-takers are expected to be personable and friendly.
We are offering a $50 honorarium. Please contact Sarah Aranha (details below) if you are interested in being part of this unique opportunity.
