Le Printemps dans l’Oreille

CODE: SJ03

Work:

Between 15 and 20 hours per week will be dedicated to preparing the musical event.
During the first week, you will take part in setting up the marquees and arranging the spaces dedicated to welcoming artists and volunteers: installing lighting, decorations, etc.
You will also support the kitchen team in preparing meals for the whole volunteer team. During the three days of the festival, you will assist the volunteers in various roles: welcoming artists and the public, assisting the kitchen team, manning the crêpe stand, supervising the children’s area, and of course you will be able to attend the many concerts and street performances !

The second week will be devoted to dismantling the structures and cleaning and tidying up the site. A special moment with all the volunteers is planned to celebrate together the success of this collective project.

Accomodation and food

You will be accommodated in a shared holiday cottage. Sleeping arrangements will be in rooms of 2 to 3 people. Meals will be cooked and shared collectively; you will take turns preparing tasty dishes, so feel free to bring your favorite recipes.

Location and leisure

St Rabier is located in the Périgord Noir, 10 km from the Lascaux caves, between Périgueux and Brive.

Site visits and nature-based activities are planned. Together with the group leaders and other participants, you will build your own activity program. We prioritize discovering the territory and its local actors over consumer-oriented activities.

Project hosted by

Nestled in the green, rolling landscape of the Périgord Noir, St Rabier is a typical village of the French countryside, offering a peaceful and authentic atmosphere.
The municipality is hosting the festival “Le Printemps dans l’Oreille” for the second year in a row. This event highlights local musical talent by giving mostly amateur bands the opportunity to perform on stage under professional conditions.
By bringing together artists, programmers, and cultural stakeholders, the festival creates a genuine space for exchange and collaboration, encouraging networking and opportunities for everyone. With free admission (pay-what-you-can), it invites the public to discover an eclectic program and to support the musicians who bring life to the region.
You will help the association and its volunteers prepare the festival. Through this experience, you will discover the warm hospitality of the local population and the energy they put into making this event a joyful celebration. You will also explore a territory rich in history by organizing, together with the other volunteers and the group leaders, your own program of activities.
