🏢 About the local organisation
“Esperanzah” is a world music festival whose aim is to encourage open-mindedness, exchanges, and cultural meeting. Each year the event brings together for 3 days musicians from all over the world and lots of associations working for a fairer and better world. Through music and party the whole event promotes human, environmental and pacifist values.
💼 What the programme involves
Together with local volunteers, international volunteers will help to set up and take down the festival facilities (tents, fences, scenery, stages…). They might make some of the decoration elements (painting, drawing…). During the festival, volunteers will be free to attend the concerts.
We ask the whole group to take time, at the beginning of the festival, to pass by the different associations working on the festival to learn about the different alternatives proposed.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will sleep in group in one of the premises of the Abbey. Take your mattress and your sleeping bag with you.
📍 About the location
The festival will take place in the beautiful Abbey of Floreffe, close to Namur (in the South of Belgium).
