About the project

SECRET SOLSTICE i MIDNIGHT SUN MUSIC FESTIVAL

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Reykjavik is a city full of energy, just waiting for you to experience it. Powered by heat from the earth below, with ever-changing weather sweeping across the landscape, its natural features are matched by the energy of its residents. Think of the qualities of a great city - fun, culture, nature, clean air - and Reykjavik has them in spades. All the advantages of a modern, forward-looking society are complemented by the beautiful natural setting. In a country of only just over 300,000 people, the Reykjavik Capital Area has a population of about 200,000. However, since it s the only major city in the country, Reykjavik has a lot of the amenities that you would only expect to find in a much larger centre elsewhere in the world.Reykjavik is the world s northernmost capital city and is centred on the Seltjarnarnes Peninsula. In June, there is 24 hours daylight and you will see the city s skyline silhouetted against the midnight sun. Reykjavik is framed by the majestic Mt. Esja and the blue waters of Faxafloi Bay to the north, while rugged lava-fields spread to the southeast. On a clear sunny day, the Snaefellsjokull glacier glitters on the western horizon like a crystal. Secret Solstice is an Icelandic music festival that is being held for the fourth time on the 16th to the 18th of June 2017. The festival has been getting a very positive feedback in the last years from the attendees and the media as well. It showcases both established artists as well as the exiting p-and-coming talent over the course of three days in the 24 hour midnight sun during the summer solstice. It is themed after the Norse religion and mythology. Its set to deliver a unique party atmosphere filled with great entertainment. This year bands like Foo fighters, The Prodigy and Kerry Chindler will be there. Take a look af http://secretsolstice.is/ .

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers will NOT work during the festival 16th of 18th of June so they will have a perfect opportunity to enjoy it in full with the VIP passes provided (worth 330 euro). From the 19th to the 24th they will do 8 hours a day shifts helping the organizers to take down the stages and to put the festival area in a perfect shape again.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Worldwide Friends volunteers will stay in houses located in the 101-centre area of Reykjavik. Volunteers need to bring their own sleeping bag and towels, but beds are provided. Wireless internet access is provided free of charge, and volunteers also have free access to shared desktop computers in communal areas. Food is included for the duration of the workcamp, however everyone is expected to do their fair share of the cooking and cleaning. Since it is always nice to try new and different dishes, volunteers are encouraged to bring along their favorites recipes from home
