“U & D Stuttgart” is the biggest non-commercial music-politics-culture festival in Stuttgart.
“Umsonst & Draussen” (free of charge & outdoors) – will take place for three days. It is organized in a participative way, meaning everyone can come and take part. It has been running in that unique and quite anarchic way for over 40 years now!
You will help the organizers in all phases of the festival.
The main tasks are:
- Setting up the stage and tent site on the festival grounds;
- Being available for the organization during the festival: You will be assigned in different areas: Bar, Stage, Organization, Catering, etc.
- Dismantling of the whole structure on the last day.
You work closely with the local people from the association! There is a plan for the build-up of the festival, nevertheless the schedule will be adapted to the always changing logistics of the event and you are expected to be flexible, patient and work autonomously within this plan. Volunteers should be prepared to work long and unusual hours, but also have some time between their shifts, which can be used to explore the festival and enjoy the music! Speaking or understanding basic German will be a plus!
In preparation for and during the festival, you sleep in tents on the festival site. Before and after the festival you are accommodated in the culture center "Lilo-Hermann" in Stuttgart.
It is a small and very basic accommodation at the festival site that does not provide much comfort, but a very unique charm. The final ceremony afterwards for all the helpers of the festival will also take place there. During the festival food will be provided by the food stands throughout the day.
