🏢 About the local organisation
Fiesta Mundial is a world party in the true sense of the word. Long time ago a young man and woman wanted to organize a cultural event to raise money for development of projects in the South, and to show the different cultural parts in a gathering.
It is a music festival, which takes place in a recreation park, including screenings of world cinema, music performances with authentic and popular ethnic music, as well as street animation, lots of workshops and a multicultural market.
Fiesta Mundial only works with volunteers. We would like to carry out the spirit and atmosphere of multiculturalism of the festival even during the build-up. We work not only with a Work@World-project, but we also want to involve local minority groups in building (CPAs, boys home, young people frm penitentiar).
💼 What the programme involves
The work will be very divers:
- Before the festival: pulling up tents and fences, laying wooden floors, erecting podia, decorating the tents and the festival grounds, handing out flyers, helping out with the organisation of the market and the workshops, taking care of the water and electricity supplies, signalisation...
- During the festival: helping with the catering for the artists
- After the festival: pulling down the tents, cleaning the terrain and putting everything back in order.
