We are looking for enthusiastic, confident, and responsible students to support the delivery of guided Public Art, Architecture, and Landscape Tours across Qatar Foundation’s Education City.
Selected students will be trained to guide visitors through designated tour routes, introducing them to Education City’s public artworks, architecture, landscapes, and cultural environment. The tours are designed to create an engaging visitor experience while highlighting the stories, artists, architects, and ideas connected to Qatar Foundation’s unique collection and spaces.
The tours will be conducted using e-scooters, allowing visitors and guides to explore different locations across Education City. Applicants must therefore be comfortable and confident riding an e-scooter and willing to follow all required safety procedures. Relevant tour content, e-scooter safety guidance, route orientation, and guide training will be provided before students begin conducting tours.
This is an excellent opportunity for students interested in art, culture, architecture, communication, visitor engagement, and public programming to gain practical experience while representing Qatar Foundation and engaging with diverse audiences.
The required hours of participation and the tour schedule will be discussed and confirmed with the selected students.
