GNIST Festival is a music and art festival created by and for young people, located outside the big cities. It’s a two-day celebration filled with live music, art exhibitions, community dance, techno yoga, talks, short films, and much more. We celebrate youth spirit, creativity, culture, and all kinds of art and music.

Description of work:
PHASE ONE: PREPARATION
During this phase, the festival starts to take shape. We build everything from the ground up — starting with tents and practical setups, and finishing with the small final details.

Every year we come up with new ideas and plans, and we decorate the entire area. This includes building graffiti walls, painting signs, and placing creative elements around the festival site.

There will, of course, be plenty of time at the beginning to get to know each other. We really value it if participants want to contribute with creative ideas and help us shape the festival.

PHASE TWO: THE FESTIVAL
This is the most fun phase! This is when we open the festival we’ve created together over the past few days.

During this time, you can relax, hang out with the other volunteers and guests, listen to music, and enjoy the festival atmosphere.

PHASE THREE: CLEANING
This phase starts Sunday morning, when guests begin heading home. We pack everything down, and it usually goes quite fast, so we finish on Sunday. Volunteers can leave either Sunday or Monday morning.

FREETIME
Since the camp is short, there are no full days off. As we get closer to the festival, there will be more to do.

From Tuesday to Thursday, working hours are approximately 10:00 in the morning until 8:00 in the evening. On Friday and Saturday, there will be more free time, as more volunteers join. This gives you the chance to meet Danish people and experience the festival.
