ORGANIZATION
Alive Festival is a music festival set in a mix of urban and forest surroundings. The ambitious music line-up covers indie rock, pop, electro as well as world music with a strong focus on up-and-coming bands. The intimate settings guarantee a festival experience unlike others. You will eat food locally produced in Thy and craft beers brewed at Thisted’s brewery, Thisted Bryghus. Nature meets culture in Thy, where Alive Festival each year is proud to announce new initiatives besides the festival. Previous years, guests and volunteers could enjoy Cold Hawaii’s surf school, a hike in the national park and visits to Thisted Bryghus. 2018 is the 10th time Alive Festival will take place. Since 2009, the festival has developed from a small and locally known festival to an acclaimed festival welcoming 1500 guests and 350 volunteers.

WORK
We need your help to build the festival and take it down, therefore you will work before and after the festival. The festival lasts from 16-18 August, where you will have the days off to enjoy it. You will be part of a team of volunteers building the festival. It is manual work and it will be an advantage with knowledge on tools, but it is not required. Your tasks will change from day to day, where you might help set up a stage one day, build a bar the next or carry fences. A team leader will instruct you on what to do. All volunteers on our production team meet at 10 am every day and work until 6 pm. Our production team is unlike any other team in Alive Festival. Volunteers work together for a longer period and the spirit when building the festival is very cheery and exciting among the hard work. Many of our volunteers are recurring each year to help set up the festival and they know everything there is to know about Thy, Thisted and Alive Festival.
You will find Alive Festival in the town of Thisted, situated in the
local park across Plantagehuset – Thisted’s cultural centre.
The exact address is : Plantagevej 18 7700 Thisted
Alive Festival is located in Thisted, a small town in an area known for its national park essential for long walks and exploration. Not far from from Thisted you will find the west coast also known as Cold Hawaii, famous for its surfing facilities. The beach, wild nature and quaint towns are essential for Summer vacations.

ORGANIZATION: The spectacular Stevns Klint was admitted to the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014 due to the sites geological characteristics. Stevns Klint is the best place in the world to see tracks from when the Earth was hit by a meteor, and over half of all species became extinct - including the dinosaurs. Thus Stevns Klint is not only a special place for research, but also an important place for the dissemination of Earth and life history. Stevns Klint was last year visited by more than 115.000 visitors.
Stevns is a peninsula bounded by the Baltic Sea. The steep cliffs of chalk and limestone rises up to 40 meters above sea level on a stretch of over 16 kilometers. During the Cold War Stevns played an important role as NATO's strategic outpost to the east. Several military facilities are now available to the public - including the significant 'Stevns Fortress' with underground listenings installations.
And then Stevns is a mecca for birdwatchers, who come to Stevns to see the millions of migratory birds who each year passes over the area.
WORK: An important task is to protect and safeguard The World Heritage against overgrowing, and make sure the public will have access along the cliff and to the spectacular view.
The work consists of cutting the shrubs and keeping the tree growth down, collect garbage and clean up the coastline on a selected stretch - all work in the fresh air and with a stunning view.
Different activities will be arranged during the weekends. You will among other get a free tour in the area and visit the `Stevns Fortress from the Cold War. The Work Camp will give you a unique insight to one of the World Heritages and a fantastic experience together with other young people from around the world.
Stevns Naturcenter, Mandehoved 10, 4660 St. Heddinge
