💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers are invited to help in the construction of festival objects and preparation of the territory to host many people at once. Working tasks will be mostly outdoors. Volunteers are expected to be resistant to weather changes and physically demanding tasks. The big variety of tasks give opportunity for each volunteer to be helpful.

🏠 Accommodation on site

he volunteers will be provided tents (but not individual tents) and mattes. If you would like to have an individual tent, please bring it with you. Please bring a sleeping bag (it is also possible to buy a quality sleeping bag at the place). Meals will be prepared centralized. Only vegetarian meals are possible. The project organizers involve a lot of volunteers into the preparation of the festival and they are not able to provide meals to all helpers (there will be around 40-60 volunteers during the entire preparation period). The festival has no support from the state or from the big commercial structures. It is self-financed. Therefore, all volunteers (Russian as well as international) are asked to cover 50% of the food costs, which is in total 50 Euro for the camp period. Please, note that the volunteers will have cleaning duties throughout the entire stay in the camp. Warm shower is available in the administrative building, which is located next to the volunteers living area. Phones have instable network coverage. No WiFi. Electricity is available. Showers are heated by sun, banya (Russian type of sauna) and a very clean river is at the disposal of the group. Important! On the territory only eco-friendly shampoos and/or bio-soap can be used. Toilets are outdoor, compost type, very simple. Notes: is a preserved area, where alcohol and drugs are prohibited. Smoking is possible only in designated areas.
