It has a rich and lively social and cultural life, and a differentiated economy. With a rich history (among others Baroque) and population of about 500.000, it offers enough variety to be an extremely interesting city, still being small enough to be 'warm' and 'cosy'. ********************************** TASKS : The volunteer will be involved in the different activities of the project, such as: - selecting films for the film festival (meaning: getting a lot of video's together and watch them and select them, together with the staff.)
