💼 What the programme involves
The work will consist of building up and taking down the festival. During the festival – you will not work and you will have time to enjoy the music, the ambience and the party. The festival lasts Thursday to Saturday night (the 19.-21. July).
Building up and taking the festival site is manual work and you will be a part of the Musik i Lejet site-coordination-crew. Experience with handtools (hammer, screwdriver etc.) is not a requirement, but definitely an advantage. You will work as a Work Camp-group among other groups. In total there are 80-200 volunteers each day at the site, who mostly come from local cultural organizations or sports associations. The work you will be during shift from day-to-day, as the festival site changes. One day you paint, another day you set up a bar, the backstage, the stage and so on.
As a part of the festival-site-coordination-crew we all work the same hours 9:00 am – 17:00 pm. There will be breaks during the day.
Every day we eat breakfast, lunch and dinner together, and therefore we quickly get to know one and other. It gives you the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. We often refer to the site-coordination-crew as a big family – because there is a certain feeling of being a part of making something become reality – and a feeling that we depend on each other.
