🏢 About the local organisation
Cinema and culture fans, this is the workcamp for you !
Come take part in the organisation and running of the Silhouette festival.
In the heart of Paris, this open-air festival is an international short-film competition which brings together more than 20 000 people every year.
The Silhouette festival aims to be a friendly and festive event, open to all for free. The festival features a creative kind of film-making, allowing the viewer to dive into as many different worlds as there are themes.
💼 What the programme involves
With the guidance of a team of workcamp leaders, you will participate in the logistics supporting the festival, in the catering and the greeting of the public, mostly in the evenings.
During the day you will also be involved in free workshops, which will teach children, teenagers and adults from all different walks of life about the secrets of film-making.
You will raise the public's awareness about eco-friendly behaviour through fun and creative installations in the park.
In addition, you will meet the neighbourhood locals, creating moments of intercultural sharing.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will share the various daily collective tasks with the other volunteers. The workcamp leaders will be given a budget and you will take part in the shopping and the preparation of meals, favouring local and healthy produce.
