🏢 About the local organisation
The Festif l'Art is a festival of contemporary music created in 2008 and organised by the members of the association Asso Siffl'Art. Its goal is to make culture accessible to a greater number of people by proposing concerts that include a wide range of genres and musical styles (pop-rock, reggae, electro...), as well as various performances and workshops: wall painting, circus arts, spaces for relaxation, recycled art etc. The association also uses a pricing policy that's driven by donations. Each year, the Festif l'Art follows a theme to stimulate the public imagination. For the first time, Asso Siffl'Art wants to host an international workcamp to add an intercultural dimension to the festival and to support the commited team of volunteers.
With this project, you will be actively working for the Sustainable Development Goal n°12 from the United Nations : Responsible production and consumption.
