About the project

Dour Festival

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Dour Festival is a five-day music festival. More than 200 artists perform on six stages. More than anything, it is a unique concept and a wonderful atmosphere. More than 1.000 journalists came to the festival. These professionals are generally from Europe. Last year we noted the presence of journalists from Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Germany, Estonia, Spain, Greece, Ireland, Luxemburg, Poland, Reunion Island and the USA. The line-up is more international than ever, however we dedicate a large part of our program to home-grown Belgian artists.

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will be part of the GREEN BRIGADE. Your job is to keep the area clean, tidy, safe. The team will collect and recycle the waste to give the festival-goers a nice and safe ground. Volunteers will also have to do physical work (built the stage, carry heavy material,..). DO NOT IMAGINE YOU WILL SIMPLY ENJOY THE FESTIVAL. IT WILL BE HARD WORK TOO!!! Your job will be the same throughout the whole festival. It could be heavy and repetitive. Volunteers will have to work around 6 hours a day, probably early in the morning. During your free time, you will be free to go to the festival and enjoy the concerts (concerts start at noon and end at 5.00 a.m.).

🏠 Accommodation on site

A camping site is reserved for the volunteers. It is well located, outside the festival, in a quiet environment. There is also a bar. There are showers and toilets in the camping. You need a flashlight, toilet paper, bath towel, basic pharmacy, ear plugs… You can expect not to have hot water to shower. You need to bring all the things that will be useful to their stay because you will not be able to buy anything during your stay over there!! You need a tent and a sleeping bag (+ camping mattress, pillow,…) and all you think you need to go camping (there is no kitchen). You need to bring your own material to fix your tent if you need to do so!!! There will not be any building where you can sleep. If you do not bring your own tent and camping material, you will have to sleep in the mud!!! Breakfast is provided : to breads and one bottle of water
