You, Me & Everyone in Portsmouth will be a literary-visual event created by The ReAuthoring Project over the weekend of 26 October 2013. Through an extensive outreach process we will collect the stories, memories and aspirations of the Portsmouth community and share these via large-scale projection onto the grand, neoclassical façade of the Portsmouth Guildhall.

The Outreach Associate must have a strong interest in working with communities and a firm commitment to finding innovative and accessible ways for them to engage with the arts.

• Promote and raise the awareness of You, Me & Everyone in Portsmouth and The ReAuthoring Project generally
• Contribute to the development of online resources
