Open Call – IKF Marketing and Communication Committee

Help the world to fall in love with korfball!

Do you love korfball? Do you have skills as a communicator? Would you like to help take our sport to a new level globally?

The International Korfball Federation (IKF) is looking for volunteers to assist in our marketing and communication activities. We want to raise korfball’s worldwide profile and visibility, and if you have communication skills, ideas you want to share, and are willing to be part of an exciting new team, we want to hear from you.

You will play a part in developing and delivering a new marketing strategy, one that will help the world to fall in love with korfball. You will play a key part in generating increased attention to take our sport to where it deserves to be, greatly increasing exposure to a new generation of players and fans around the world.

Our sport has a fantastic story to tell, and with your help, we are going to bring that story to a huge new audience.

We want to develop korfball’s existing relations with our partners, establish new connections with external organisations and use those relationships, and our own worldwide community, to promote korfball globally.

We are looking for volunteers who are:

• Skilled communicators
• Creative marketers
• Capable project managers
• Competent in English, and at least one other language.
• Keen digital marketers
• Sensitive to different cultures and people
• Positive, enthusiastic and hard working.
