Anything but boring! Would you like to do a Voluntary Social Year (FSJ) in the cultural sector but just can’t decide between theatre, an orchestra, a literary centre and a museum? You don’t have to! Here at the Münsterland Cultural Office, you’ll not only gain an insight into cultural management and public relations, but you’ll also get to know the diverse cultural scene in the region and meet exciting artists from all disciplines.
The place for the 2026/2027 intake has been filled. Applications for the 2027/2028 FSJ will open in spring 2027.
The Cultural Office of Münsterland e.V. networks, coordinates and promotes cultural projects in Münsterland. In concrete terms, this means that we advise artists and cultural professionals on how best to realise their projects and organise the allocation of funding. We support cultural projects in the region with press and public relations work, our website and our social media channels. And we bring cultural professionals together and provide them with further training at our cultural academy seminars. To do this, we travel a lot, visit theatres, museums, institutions and artists throughout the region and, of course, always involve our FSJ volunteers.
With the Münsterland Festival, we realise our own project every two years: it offers exciting concerts with musicians from all over the world. Lars Krolik and the festival team are always happy to help with the preparation, realisation and support of artists! At the Kulturakademie Münsterland, we train cultural professionals from the region. Here you can not only gain a lot of knowledge yourself, but also support Andre Sebastian with the organisation and implementation. And if you are more interested in public relations, websites and social media, you can test and expand your communication skills together with Laura Säumenicht. In short: you will familiarise yourself with the classic fields of cultural management.
Our office is at Münster/Osnabrück Airport in Greven. You can reach it easily by express bus or by car - parking is free for employees and there's a small monthly travel allowance. There's also a lot to discover outside the Kulturbüro: We work together in Münsterland e.V. with around 50 colleagues from tourism, business, marketing and press and public relations. Curious about what tourism and business promotion mean, how a marketing campaign works or how the perfect press release arouses the interest of journalists? Then you have the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes of these areas during your FSJ in culture.
Anything but monotonous! During an FSJ Culture at Kulturbüro Münsterland, you will be part of our small team in the large team of Münsterland e.V., travelling a lot with us and being able to try out different tasks. We'll work with you to find out what you're particularly interested in and how you can contribute your own ideas. Well, sometimes you'll have to bag a mailing or prepare a meeting. It's the mix that counts.
Andre, Lars and Laura
