A festival doesn’t happen just by itself – the Upside Down crew needs a lot of helping hands during the festival to get everything running! We’re searching for plenty of volunteers, as well as 7-10 supervolunteers. Have a look what suits you best. Any help is very much appreciated!
Volunteers
There will be short volunteering shifts of 1h30 available during the festival. You can sign up for 1 or more shifts. In return you get our big gratitude and drink tickets.
HERE You’ll find the schedule to sign up for these tasks. Have a look at the different tab pages and add your name. Each day has another page.
Supervolunteers
You would like to be part of the team of Upside Down during the festival? Wonderful 🙂
We are looking for a small team of 8 supervolunteers that join us, the main organization team, in the beauty and craziness behind Upside Down. This means a lot of work, but also a great lot of fun, inspiration, teamwork, excitement and next to this of course time for dancing, music and joining some upside-down activities.
Every supervolunteer will be assigned one big task over the 5 days of the festival. This task will either happen every day during the afternoons, or the evenings of the festival. We will assign the tasks before the festival, and make sure that everyone gets to do a job they like. Because the most important thing of course is that you like your work, and that you have a good time during the festival!
You will be involved for around 3-5 hours every day, depending on the workload of your task. Additionally, just like the main organization team, you might be asked to jump in for some other small jobs, that come up unexpectedly.
If you would like to join, you need to be available from August 24-28. If possible even already on August 22, because that’s when we start with the build-up and decoration and/or on August 29 for the clean up.
Our thank-you for your help:
- you’ll be part of an amazing team
- lots of love and appreciation 🙂
- during your shifts, we provide food&drinks
- we can organize hosting for you if needed
- you can join the whole festival for 50 Euro. This means all parties, the afternoon dances, all extra activities and whenever you are not working, you can also join the pick ‘n’ mix classes.
If you are interested in joining our supervolunteer team, please write to info@upsidedownghent.be and we will get back to you as soon as possible! As we have limited spots for super volunteers, we may not be able to offer a spot to everybody who shows interest.
