🏢 About the local organisation
Himmelstorm Festival is a small 3-day music festival hold by the eco-village Dyssekilde. It is located in Northwestern Zealand in the countryside next to a small village called Torup, Torup has only about 1000 inhabitants, and the festival has even less participants.
The community of Dyssekilde is built in early 90’es with strong ideas and principles of ecology and sustainability. All houses, toilets, everyday wares, and ways of heating the houses are organic and sustainable. The community even has their own windmill to power their houses.
The festival itself is built on the same principles as the community, for instance; only organic food and beer from the local brewery are served. Everything from theatre, handcrafts, general intimacy and colours and vitality are valued at the festival. Thus, the festival is considered a family and children friendly place to be.
The festival plaza itself is located in the middle of a sort of forest of willow, as there is a willow wastewater facility nearby. Feel free to ask more about it!
The festival takes place 24-26 July 2015, but at lot of the work will consist of preparing and building up the festival, as well as adding several funny and interesting initiatives to an already fantastic event.

💼 What the programme involves
The work consists of different manual work. Work tasks will include: putting up a wooden counter, painting a fence, carrying chairs or other objects, raising a tent, and in general help with practical tasks wherever needed.
Apart from help building up the festival, you will contribute with creating our your creative set of funny remedies and activities.
We are currently in the brainstorming phase, and thinking of ideas such as the building a climbing-wall, making a board game-station or raising a big wooden public painting wall. It will be fun! :)

You will be sleeping in tents. A primitive kitchen and toilets are available. You will collaborate about cooking everyday. More information will come!
