Job Description

Makers Valley Partnership we are hiring Photographer to work under Youth Employment Service (YES) Programme

Makers Valley is a neighbourhood in Johannesburg inner city, just east of the CBD.  It stretches from New Doornfontein to Bezuidenhout Valley, and includes Bertrams, Judith’s Paarl, Troyeville and Lorentzville. The name ‘Makers Valley’refers to the growing presence and activities of many forms of creative entrepreneurialism in the area.  Artists, cultural practitioners, artisans, urban gardeners, carpenters, shoemakers, metal and woodworkers, clothing designers and others, live and work in the Valley. 

The evolving community culture builds on versions of the Makers Movement within the 4th Industrial Revolution which encourages creativity, sharing, giving, learning, participation, mutual support and positive change. 

The concept and practice of Changemaking is key to many of the activities within the Valley.  Building on the Changemaking concept originally coined by Ashoka, activities are inspired by the conviction that progressive entrepreneurs and organisations mobilising locally can help to propel systemic change within a Wellbeing Economy framework.
