Volunteers with IT skills will be able to support technicians in managing audiovisual equipment, laptops, or other devices during presentations and events. Another required activity may include collecting feedback from participants about their experience at the event.
Volunteer activities will last approximately 8 hours per day. Shifts may vary depending on the event's needs and, according to assigned roles, may take place in the morning, afternoon, or evening. Volunteers will also have free time to participate in debates, workshops and laboratories, or to take a walk by the sea.

Accommodation will be at Camping Paestum in bungalows equipped with shared bathrooms and showers with other volunteers. The diet will be vegetarian. During the first days of the camp we will cook together, while during the event days meals will be provided through external catering.
