Student Content Opportunity
Video Content Contributor — UK Student Voices

About the opportunity
Devayan Global is building Student Voices, a real-student content network featuring students currently studying at universities across the UK.
We are looking for students who are already studying in the UK and can share authentic experiences through simple, natural video footage.
You do not need to be a professional content creator. You do not need expensive equipment.
A good smartphone, a natural approach and a willingness to share your genuine university experience are enough.

As a Video Content Contributor, you will provide raw video footage from your real student experience in the UK.
Your footage may be edited by the Devayan Global content team into:

Your role is to capture the experience.
Our team will handle the professional editing, subtitles, branding and publishing.
