🏢 About the local organisation
In the summer months, Germany is host to a variety of music festivals and events. One of those festivals – “Umsonst & Draussen” (free of charge & outdoors) – will take place outside the town of Karlstadt and run for three days, from 22nd-24thof July
(http://www.umsonstunddraussen.de/hauptseite.html). The town’s young people have been organising festivals for a long time now. This year will be the seventh time to invite a workcamp to help with the exciting, but also demanding tasks of setting up the festival in July. Around 26 bands are invited; 12,000-15,000 visitors are expected.
💼 What the programme involves
The international group will work together with many other volunteers from Karlstadt. The main tasks will be setting up of the stage and campground on the site of the festival, as well as the disassembly at the end. While the festival is running, the volunteers will assist in different areas: bar, stage, organisation, catering etc. Volunteers should be flexible enough to work long and unusual hours – and enjoy music! Speaking or understanding basic German will be a plus!
🏠 Accommodation on site
In the local youth centre for the first days. For the main part of the Camp the group will be lodging in tents on the site of the festival, where all helpers will also stay. Food will be served in the festival canteen throughout the day. Sanitary facilities are provided, but be aware of festival standards. Expect very basic amenities!
📍 About the location
Karlstadt is situated in the Bavarian region called Franconia. The town is home to around 7000 inhabitants and has a historical touch. If you are interested in architecture, you will find lots of traditional German buildings in the town centre. Also, with its vast vineyards and rolling hills, the region provides an opportunity for some calm and relaxing outdoor activities as an alternative to the hectic life of the festival.
