WORK WITH US AS A VOLUNTEER
TAEC is lucky to have a dedicated team of local staff; however, there are certain areas in which we need the assistance of skilled volunteers. Currently, we would like to hear from people interested to support our work in: library sciences, photo cataloguing, website design, e-commerce, SEO, graphic design, product design and merchandising, accounting and financial management, exhibition design, and collections care. Please contact us if you would like to discuss volunteering here in Luang Prabang or remotely from your home.

TAEC stocks authentic handicrafts made by ethnic minority artisans using traditional skills and materials. More contemporary TAEC products use traditional handicraft techniques with modern designs.

LEAVE US A REVIEW ONLINE
Your review on websites such as Google Maps, TripAdvisor, or on our Facebook page encourages other people to visit TAEC – and every ticket sold contributes directly to our work. If you have a website or blog, you could add a link to our site, Facebook, or Instagram! If we weren’t listed in your guidebook (and even if we were) you can also write to them to tell them how important it is for travellers to learn about the country’s cultures at TAEC.
DONATE USEFUL EQUIPMENT OR MATERIALS
TAEC has a wish list of office equipment and museum materials that would make a huge difference to the quality and efficiency of our work. For example, we would love to have a large format colour laser printer, a new laptop, and a television for screening videos in the exhibitions. We always need archival storage materials such as Tyvek, acid-free tissue, foam-core, foam padding and archival boxes. Please contact us if you would like to discuss a donation of equipment or recommend us to potential sponsors and donors.
