Description of the 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.

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 from 26 to 28 of June, 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 have two off-days with the possibility to visit Brussels or other cities in Belgium.

Host Organization

JAVVA is... JAVVA stands for “Jeunes Actifs dans le Volontariat et les Voyages Alternatifs†or in other words “Young People Active in Volunteering and Alternative Travel†and was founded as a non-profit organization in 2000. Since 2003, JAVVA has been recognized as a youth organization by the French-speaking government of Belgium. Our mission We aim to promote an ideal of tolerance, solidarity and peace between young people from around the world and to encourage their active participation and mobility. JAVVA has no political or ideological affiliation. Our approach International camps and volunteer projects enable intercultural encounters and the discovery of the other and therefore, in our opinion, represent a useful tool in the construction of peace. They contribute towards a fairer world with more solidarity and respect for differences. Even if our projects cannot be considered to be within the framework of humanitarian aid or emergency relief, they do invite participation in another culture, and teach team work while participating in a development project in the heart of a local community.
