Roles and participation

There are different roles within EASA which make the assemblies happen. These are structured around national teams, which enable the spread of information within the international community. The roles regularly found in every assembly are participants, national contacts (NCs), workshop tutors, helpers, guests and organizers. Below you can find information on what the different roles mean and of the timelines and process for participating in EASA in these roles.

  • Participants & NCs

    The biggest part of the EASA community are the participants. Primarily students of architecture across all levels of study and coming from all corners of Europe. They are the main attendants of the workshops.

    National Contacts form the key communication link between organisers and participants. as well as between EASA as an international and a local community. They are responsible for the selection of participants and the distribution of information amongst the EASA network, both on a national level throughout the year and within the national team during the EASA gathering.

  • Helpers

    Helpers are one of the most important roles in EASA! Helpers make the event by coordinating and facilitating many functions and logistics during the event. You can find helpers working at the info-point, kitchen, care, everywhere…

    When helpers have free time they might enjoy hanging out at the site, join the workshops or discussions. Many helpers are already familiar with the community, but it is not necessary.

  • Tutors

    Tutors are the ones initiating, proposing and guiding the execution of workshops during the assembly. Tutors can come as individuals or as groups. EASA is open to an interdisciplinary approach and welcomes tutors coming from disciplines outside architecture. Tutors may also be at very different stages in their careers as students, educators or practitioners.

    Anyone wishing to apply as a tutor, or ask more questions about EASA, is encouraged to reach out to their NC for advice.

  • Guests

    Guests are also welcome to the event. They can participate in workshops, attend all the lectures or even become a helper if they so choose! Guests typically attend for one of the two weeks during the event. This is a great role for some old friends of EASA who want a catch-up but anyone is welcome!

  • Partners

    Would like to collaborate with an international audience of young professionals? We are always up for partnering with organisations that share the same values as us. Contact us via contact@easaseanchai.eu if you’re interested!

  • Organisers

    Each year, a core group of students and young designers will take on the task of hosting the assembly in their country. They are the ones responsible for the selection and curation of the programme and workshops. They are the key point of contact for any queries around potential involvement, contributions, collaborations or sponsorship. You can get in touch with the organisers via contact@easaseanchai.eu
