Volunteers
For the festival to work we need the volunteers!
When you participate as a volunteer on the festival, you will of course get free entrance to the festival friday and saturday. There will also be a small catering with sandwiches, coffe etcetera on the festival that the volunteers can access. You work 8 hour total for the festival, before/during or after the actual festival.
On Thursday the 19th of February 2015 we have a meeting at Umeå Folkets Hus at 18:00 - it is very important to participate for all volunteers to prepare for the festival!
Please contact me, Linnea, if you are interested in volunteering!
