WORK: The "Waldstock" music festival has been a huge part of the cultural life in the small village of Pegnitz for over 20 years. It's being put together by the alternative and artsy young people from the area. Since 2013, a small group of international Workcamp volunteers has been helping out at the festival. They're needed because the festival needs motivated volunteers, and the volunteers' international input is really appreciated. You will help the organisers in all phases of the festival like preparations, setting up the stage and the campground, help with the disassembly on the last days and assist in different areas: bar, stage, organisation, catering etc. There is a plan for the build-up of the festival, nevertheless the schedule will be flexible and adapted to the logistics of the event and you are expected to be flexible, patient and work autonomously within this plan. Volunteers should be prepared to work long and unusual hours, but also have some time between their shifts, which can be used to explore the festival and enjoy the music!
ACCOMMODATION: You stay at the local brewery, it is a small and basic accommodation with sanitary facilities and camp beds. Please bring your sleeping bag. Food will be cooked by the Workcamp group in the accommodation. During the festival, food will be provided by the food stands throughout the day so you have plenty options!
