Free Music Festival 2

CODE: SJ/ESC14

Work:

You'll work with volunteers to prepare and set up the festival and its facilities (parking, camping, food/rest/volunteer areas, etc.). Your tasks will include setting up the park and making it attractive to the public and helping volunteers with the logistics of the event. After the festival, you'll help clean up and tidy up the site in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. You'll also take part in activities to raise awareness of interculturality and sustainable development.

Accomodation and food

You will sleep in tents (sleeping 2) at the Bateleurs International Guest House in Montendre, where you'll have access to all the facilities at your disposal. A vehicle will be provided for transportation to and from the site, as well as for exploring the region. Food will be provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner (you will have a food budget, which the leaders will manage and communicate with you throughout the workcamp). Meals will be prepared, in turn, by you, especially for lunch and dinner, while respecting environmental values and local resources, as well as everyone's culture (hot and cold dishes as well as vegetarian and vegan dishes will be prepared). The first week you'll eat lunch at the Maison des Bateleurs, the second and third week you'll eat lunch with the festival team (there will be a caterer on site with different menus to suit your appetite, whether vegetarian, vegan or other).

Location and leisure

At the crossroads of several charming villages in the south of Saintonge, you'll be able to take full advantage of the local heritage. When you're not working on the site, you can take part in summer activities such as music festivals, night markets and visits to local producers and tastings of their products. Outings to Bordeaux, La Rochelle or Angoulême and a day at the ocean can also be organized. Cognac and St-Emilion, two of France's leading vineyard towns, are also close by!

Project hosted by

Montendre is an attractive town in south-west France. In 2001, it was the birthplace of the FREE Music Festival, a contemporary music event that contributed to the cultural development and dynamism of this attractive town. The international workcamp, at the heart of the festival, brings an intercultural dimension rich in artistic and intergenerational exchanges.
