We will work for the Partycipation Festival: a) working in the preparation of the festival, b) during the festival itself and, c) after the festival is over; we will work in the cleaning and dismantling. The festival itself lasts one week, from the 16.-23.07.2017. Motto of Partycipation is to have a festival full with music, creativity and a future with a good quality of life. There will be workshops about sustainable and eco-topics, open spaces and music bands will play on the weekend. It's a small festival. In total there are expected to come around 400-500 people during the whole week.Arrival will be on Friday the 7th of July, on the Saturday the 8th there will be an introduction from Grenzenlos and the festival team as well as welcome party. On Sunday the 9th we will slowly start with the work in order to prepare the festival on time. During the preparation phase you will create the festival location (construct tents and stages, decorate the area etc.) and cook together. During the festival we will help for example with the cutting of vegetables and the cooking, keeping the area clean and work at the bars. Accommodation will be at site, in tents (In case of really, really bad weather, there is a room nearby for shelter and sleeping). In the ending phase everything has to be cleaned and deconstructed. Be aware that the work will take place outdoor all the time, different weather conditions should not be a big problem for you (you should like to be outdoor most of the time).
