📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Sziget Zrt. is responsible for organizing the biggest festivals in Hungary. They work with more than 1500 volunteers per year in around 100 possible positions. The first Sziget Festival was organized back in 1993 as a small gathering and has since evolved into one of Europe’s largest music festivals. Each year we strive to bring Szitizens some of the biggest names out there, and host over 1,000 shows across 60 stages, for 7 days straight.

💼 What the programme involves

Everything green! We like to protect our environment even during a festival, and your job will help to remind visitors of it as well. As an environmental officer it is your daily duty to maintain, empty and keep an eye on the waste containers. Being part of the site clearance team means that you keep the festival free from rubbish, and collect waste in certain areas. Maybe this year you’ll be the person who will take the collected waste from the visitors and give them a reward for it in one of the Green Points. Moreover, you can be responsible for emptying and maintaining the polyduct (selective waste) containers. Don’t forget that protecting the environment is not only our responsibility but it’s also sexy!

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will have your own place at the staff camping but don’t forget to BRING YOUR OWN TENT! There is a shower in the camping. You will get one hot meal every day you work. Meals: Please note that this camp will provide only one hot meal/day. You can choose from different kind of meals that you can indicate on the application form.

📍 About the location
