About Movement in Refuge (MiR)
MiR is an international organisation promoting physical and mental health through sport and movement training to create safe, structured opportunities for conflict-affected communities. We started in the Rohingya refugee camps along the Bangladesh Myanmar border, home to one of the world’s largest refugee settlements, since 2017.
Our work is grounded in the conviction that sports and movement are beneficial to everyone and that people who have suffered enormous trauma and upheaval would greatly benefit from healthy movement, play and sport.
Together with our Bangladeshi partner NGO Sports for Hope and Independence (SHI), we deliver safe, dynamic and consistent coaching for women and girls, separately, for men and boys. Our trainers come from Bangladeshi Universities with degrees in physical education and sports science. They train refugees we refer to as community-based coaches - who are from and live in the refugee camps. Our planned academic partnerships with the University of Edinburgh, Leeds Beckett University, i-coach kids, will anchor our practice in research, and our growing connections across the UN system mean our work is scaling. We are at a pivotal moment and need your support to achieve our potential.
The Role
As Video Editor, you will shape how the world sees MiR's work. You will edit and produce video content from our field programmes, events, and team, turning raw footage into compelling, polished content that communicates the impact of what we do to donors, partners, supporters, and the public.
This is a creative role with real reach. MiR's video content is seen by international funders, UN partners, university audiences, and the broader sport-for-development community. The footage you work with comes from some of the most powerful and underreported humanitarian contexts on earth. You will work closely with the Social Media intern, Creative Focal Point, and MiR leadership to ensure video output is consistent, purposeful, and true to the communities it represents.
Key Responsibilities
Edit raw footage from MiR's field programmes, events, and team into short-form and long-form video content for use across social media, fundraising, and communications
Produce content tailored to different platforms and audiences - including Instagram reels, YouTube, donor presentations, and partnership pitches
Work with the Social Media interns and Creative Focal Point to ensure video output is consistent with MiR's visual identity and communications strategy
Support the production of campaign videos, event highlights, and programme updates as needed
Help build and maintain a library of edited video assets that the wider team can draw on
Ensure all content adheres to MiR's safeguarding and child protection guidelines - including consent procedures and the responsible representation of vulnerable communities
Bring creative ideas to how MiR's story can be told through video, and take initiative in proposing new content formats or approaches
What You Will Gain
Being part of the MiR internship programme means joining a lean, fast-moving international development organisation at a pivotal moment in its growth. You will gain:
A portfolio of published video work produced for a real international NGO - content with genuine reach across audiences that include funders, UN bodies, and global advocacy networks
Experience editing footage from one of the world's most significant humanitarian contexts, and the professional and ethical skills that come with representing it responsibly
Creative collaboration with a cross-functional team spanning communications, design, and field programmes
A formal reference letter from MiR leadership on successful completion
Access to MiR's growing network of academic, UN, and civil society partners
Mentorship from practitioners with decades of field experience across the UN system and international NGOs
Time Commitment
5–20 hours per week, minimum of 4 months. This is a remote, unpaid internship. Hours are flexible and can be arranged around your academic or professional commitments, with scope to increase your contribution during holidays or project periods if that suits you.
How you will be supported
MiR is small but structured. Every intern is assigned a direct point of contact within our team who will oversee your work and provide regular feedback. You will receive a structured onboarding covering MiR's mission, values, safeguarding framework, and current priorities - including clear guidance on the ethical and practical considerations involved in working with footage of vulnerable communities. We hold regular team check-ins and will not leave you to figure things out alone.
We take your development seriously. We want you to leave with a stronger portfolio, sharper editorial instincts, and a clear understanding of what responsible, impactful visual storytelling looks like in a humanitarian context.
Eligibility
You are a student or early-career video editor or filmmaker with a genuine interest in MiR's mission: using sport and movement to improve lives in some of the world's most challenging humanitarian settings. You are comfortable working with editing software, a background in film, media, communications, journalism, or a related discipline is an advantage. What matters most is craft, sensitivity, and a genuine desire to put your skills to work on something meaningful. A portfolio or showreel is encouraged with your application.
