Nibe Festival Camp

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Nibe Festival is the 6. largest music festival in Denmark. It includes music of all sorts, but mostly Pop and Rock spread out on more than 100 concerts during the entire festival. There are 5 different stages which have different target groups. • The Big stage • Blue stage • Reservatet • The Jazz cave • One stage on the Camp Nibe Festival first saw the light of day back in 1985 and takes place in late June to early July. It is located out in a forest called Skalskoven which gives a really special vibe and it is only 500 meters from downtown Nibe. Every year almost 4.700 volunteers come together before, during and after the festival to make sure all is perfect. This means that all earnings are used to support local associations in Nibe and a lot of different cultural subjects in all of the north of Jutland. Nibe Festivals Teamleader for Sustainability will be your leader during the Work Camp This year is the 5th Work Camp on Nibe Festival

💼 What the programme involves

The work will take place before and after the Festival where we will be in charge of building/putting up and taking down – Fences, tents, festival-bars, floors and much more. We are working with sustainability as well. There will be a lot of other volunteers which makes it a wonderful place to socialize, making friends and get that special connection with peers that might last a lifetime. Remember that we are “off duty” during the festival and therefore are forced to enjoy ourselves and listen to good music in between work ;-) We will be working together in teams before and after the festival between 09.30-20.00

🏠 Accommodation on site

Sleeping and toilet facilities: We will be sleeping two and two in tents in a quiet area at the festival. You will have to bring your own sleeping madras and sleeping bag and what else you must need for you to sleep in a tent. It is a very nice modern tent, but still a tent. The will be bathroom facilities near the tents. Food: The festival will provide food for all the participants and you won’t have to cook. Vegetarian food is always an option. Before and after the festival, you will be served three meals a day and this includes drinks. During the festival, you will receive food vouchers and you will be given a water bottle, which you can fill in one of the water tanks there are placed all over the campsite. You are also welcome to bring your own water bottle.

📍 About the location

The Festival is close to Nibe city and therefore there is a lot of possibilities. Shopping, going to the harbour for a dip, nice cafes. Nibe is also very close to Aalborg, Denmark’s 5th largest city with a rich cultural life and lots of possibilities. Please contact us if you have any suggestions about things you want to do or go see – then we’ll see if we can work something out You are each expected to give us and the other volunteers a little lecture about your country – may it be a presentation, a language course or anything that provides us with some basic knowledge about you and your culture. You decide how you want to structure it; it just has to last for about 10 minutes. Just be free and creative.

⚠️ Requirements

As the festival will take place in the woods, we can unfortunately not receive participants with disabilities.

ℹ️ Additional information

English will be the only language spoken. All participants must be willing to speak English, even though being from the same country or having troubles with the English language. Try your best! Remember that we are going to work outdoors and sleep outdoors, so bring warm clothes. The weather might be cold and most definitely will be at night, and the Danish summer always includes a bit of rain.
