POSITION : Call for Volunteer - Open House Lagos

What is Open House Lagos?
Open House Lagos is a 3 day event to showcase the outstanding architecture of Lagos for all to experience, completely for free. The event invites everyone to understand the value of a well-designed built environment by exploring Lagos, celebrating its architectural growth and the way people interact with their environment. The event will offer residents, local and international visitors an enriched cultural experience by providing an opportunity to access buildings not normally open to the public.

If you are an Architecture or Built Environment professional, or student, you will also be able to share your expertise with the visitors, meet built environment professionals and supplement your training.

How do I fit in?

You will lead or support guided tours, talking about the architecture, function and history of the building. Enough research is required to ensure your tour is informative and you are able to answer questions at a level for the lay-person.

What's in it for me?
