About the project

Fire Artists’ Festival

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Fire Artist’s Association was founded to raise awareness of Fire Arts, to offer everyone a chance to learn and perform with any kind or type of Fire Art and to show that it can be much more than a primitive street arts. Association also promotes good standards of Fire Safety for fire artists cooperating closely with local rescue department. One of the largest projects is organizing Fire Artist’s competitions, which started off as a small event for local artists but quickly became the international one. Now every year the International Fire Artist’s Competition takes place in Estonia. This event is organized by a small community called Fire Artist’s Association and right now there are just not enough people to get everything done for the event. And international volunteers are invited to help it out. This year for the first time the event will be held at a magical place called the Vikings Village (www.viikingitekyla.ee) at the same time with the yearly Vikings winter camp. This year the topic of the competition is “Brave Heart” and we expect only the bravest and strongest artists to make it to the event, which will be held outdoors in the Vikings Village arena after the Vikings tournament.

💼 What the programme involves

The event area is quite big, and there is a lot of preparation work to be done. You will also be involved in preparing technical and visual side of the event and making sure the event goes smoothly. So expect anything from decorating the rooms and especially areas outdoors, carrying the necessary equipment to the area to meeting, welcoming guests, showing directions and so on. You have to be creative, quick on your feet, able to find solutions on the spot, be flexible. And you have to be prepared to work outdoors at Estonian winter conditions.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will have at least one meal per day provided by the village, other times you will prepare food by yourselves, for example on a camp fire outdoors. The ingredients will be provided by organizers. Please be prepared for low temperatures outside and being outdoors a lot.
