WORK:


Volunteers will help with various logistical aspects of setting up the festival: assembling and dismantling structures, loading and unloading equipment, setting up scenery, setting up artists' boxes, participating in waste management, etc.
It is important to remember that this type of work is very physical.

Volunteers will be working with part of the festival team as well as with other volunteers (outside JAVVA).

During the festival, which will take place on 23, 24 and 25 June from 3pm, the volunteers will be integrated into the different teams (catering and eco-cleaning). After their shifts, the volunteers will be able to enjoy the festival.

The group of JAVVA volunteers will be on day-off on 18/06 and 25/06 with the possibility to visit Brussels or other cities in Belgium.

The site will be located in the Osseghem Park at the foot of the Atomium in Brussels (capital of Belgium). The campsite is only a few minutes walk from the Festival.

The meeting point is at the PARC D'OSSEGHEM festival site in Brussels on 15 June.

We encourage all our volunteers to prefer “eco-friendly transportation” to come on their volunteering project. So think twice and come by bike or hitchhike until your project!
