About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

You arrive at an old railway station hostel. Trains pass by. Then you step into Białowieża Forest—not to take over, but to be part of something already alive. This is a travelling outdoor theatre festival. You join the team that makes it happen—gently, responsibly, together. You can: — be on stage: act, move, join performances and parades — support the tech side: sound, lights, keeping things running — create content: photo, video, stories from behind the scenes — co-run the festival café: simple things, good vibes — ride a bike rickshaw: help people move through the festival space You don’t need to be pro/perfect. You just need to show up, stay open, and respect the place you’re in. Forest first. Then theatre. Are you curious about new challenges? Or maybe you play an instrument? Do you sing? Have any artistic experience? Apply.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You don’t spend your own money on transport — you buy a ticket and get reimbursed. You can travel by plane or eco-friendly train/bus. You’ll live in the small town of Hajnówka. Guaranteed spot in a 2-person room, with access to a kitchen and bathroom. Hostel-style living in an international group of 10. Internet included. The challenge? You cook for yourself — but we provide a food budget, plus pocket money for personal expenses.

🎒 Leisure activities

The biggest opportunity - you can take part in theatre workshops and shows with A3Teatr www.a3teatr.pl You create stories from volunteers’ daily life, show the town and wild nature, promote an art hub in an old railway station, capture performances, and share eco-living in practice — your view tells our story to the world. You gain video and social media skills, build a real portfolio, and join an international team. Culture sharing, eco-cooking, art events, and nature trips included. We respect nature, keep spaces clean, and play fair as a team.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
