Currently, we are looking for research support. The research will be dedicated to understand how phenomenon of trust manifests through the everyday infrastructure and community engagement in a model of trust-making.

Trust-making is an innovative model to enhance trust via and through developing urban infrastructure. This project enhances established Placemaking practices and aims at fostering confidence of youth to co-create urban spaces through creatively working in and with green infrastructures in four European cities.

For this internship opportunity we are willing to have a person who is familiar with and able to perform desk and field research, conduct workshops, create questionnaires, analyze data from surveys, workshops, or mobile ethnography. As the topic of the project, as well as its objective, is to establish the trust-making model in practise, we would welcome a motivated person with a background in the humanities. We would also happily consider a person from the realm of social sciences, as we highly value people with experience in the application of social research methods and techniques.

Due to the research context, we expect the intern to be able to perform dedicated tasks in English.

Xwhy works in the areas of placemaking, cultural research, data sensemaking, and sustainable development. Depending on the nature of the ongoing projects and cases, we constantly collaborate with experts from education, urbanism, business, anthropology, ethnography, creative industries, and other fields. Our interdisciplinary team consists of devoted experts from philosophy, art, business anthropology, and communication with a multicultural experience that allows solving problems in a sustainable way.
