In the buildings of a former Soviet rubber plant Polymer NGO Culture Factory is developing an environment for workshops for artists and musicians, cultural events, youth activities etc. The former industrial spaces are being renovated for new uses as exhibition and concert halls, dancing, theatre and visual arts studios, cultural, youth and leisure activities. This year Culture Factory in cooperation with EstYES invites international volunteers to help renovation works in the former factory continuing its transformation into alternative cultural centre as well as to meeting artists, get experience with various workshops and help preparing the annual alternative art festival.
Work:
As the factory buildings have stood derelict for years, lots of cleaning-up has to be done. Be ready for the hard and dirty work! It will be some renovation works, painting, fixing windows, cleaning, putting up furniture etc. but also jobs linked to the festival - like preparation/ decoration of the rooms, putting exhibitions, transporting stuff, etc. The work will normally last 6 hours a day. Four people will be required for the duration for above mentioned tasks.
Accommodation:
Volunteers will live in the factory building, where they will share a big room for living and equipped kitchen for preparing own meals. Toilets and showers are available in the factory. Beds, mattresses and linens will be provided, so there is no need to bring sleeping bags.
Location:
Tallinn is the capital of Estonia. You can get a lot of information on Tallinn on www.tallinn.ee. The Culture Factory is situated quite in the centre of Tallinn within walking distance (20 min) to mediaeval old town, museums, pubs with intensive nightlife, etc.
Terminal:
Airport, bus or train station, harbor in Tallinn.
Special requirements:
We are looking for people who have experience in construction works, who are ready to work with recycled materials and improvise. Tools will be provided. Please bring working clothes and gloves. Camp language is English.
Leisure time:
On site volunteers are welcome to take part in the life of Polymer Culture Factory, meet local and international artists and enjoy the public roof garden that we have made years ago. Culture Factory will run the traditional festival and volunteers shall take part in the first weekend of the event. A lot of cultural activities and parties are foreseen: theater, cinema, art, performances, music. Those who wish to stay until the end are welcome, we can offer a living place, but we cannot offer food. Besides Polymer Culture Factory, there are a lot of possibilities for leisure time activities in the city of Tallinn itself, where one can find attractions for all tastes: sightseeing and museums, festivals, concerts, live music, pubs, etc. This camp provides an excellent opportunity to establish contacts with young Estonian artists.
Participation fee:
Since EstYES neither its camp partner NGO Culture Factory does not receive sufficient financial support for this camp from municipality nor from private sources we have to charge participants an extra fee of 60 Euro. It has to be paid by volunteers upon arrival to the camp, and it is to cover costs of materials as well as cultural activities.
« I think our work has really opened the eyes of the youth there. I think that, because of our presence, some local youths got the chance to learn about other cultures which they wouldn't have otherwise. »
