📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The Couleur Café festival is a festival of world and urban music. It is organised as a large convivial village in the city of Brussels and offers, in addition to the music, entertainment, fireworks, workshops for children, dance and music lessons, art exhibitions ranging from traditional to contemporary art and multicultural meeting places.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will help with various logistical aspects of setting up the festival: assembling and dismantling structures, loading and unloading equipment, setting up scenery, setting up artists' boxes, participating in waste management, etc.
It is important to remember that this type of work is very physical.
Volunteers will be working with part of the festival team as well as with other volunteers (outside JAVVA).
During the festival, which will take place on 28, 29 an 30 of June, the volunteers will be integrated into the different teams (catering and eco-cleaning). After their shifts, the volunteers will be able to enjoy the festival.
The group of JAVVA volunteers will have two days-off with the possibility to visit Brussels or other cities in Belgium.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The site will be located in the Osseghem Park at the foot of the Atomium in Brussels (capital of Belgium). The campsite is only a few minutes walk from the Festival.
Volunteers will be required to stay in tents in the volunteer camp during the workcamp. Conditions are basic.
Bring your sleeping bag, mattress and toiletries. If you have the possibility, you can also bring your own tent. Beware, the nights can be very cold in Belgium! Showers and toilets are available on site.
Meals (morning/midday/evening) are provided by Couleur Café.
ℹ️ Additional information
Bring good shoes and clothes suitable for work (clothes that can get dirty) as well as warm clothes and waterproof clothes in case of rain (good jacket). More casual clothing for festival days is of course allowed.
