Roskilde Festival’s volunteer manifesto unfolds and describes our principles for volunteering.
YOU ARE WELCOME
As a volunteer you are part of a community where we are equals with respect for each other’s differences. When we meet, we learn more about each other and ourselves. Some people volunteer for the community and the music, some want to learn new things, and others simply cannot help themselves. No matter why you’re here, you should feel welcome and have a say in what direction the festival is moving.
YOU ARE THE HEART
Each festival is a unique event that we create for each other, and each time you meet another person at the festival, you contribute to their festival experience. It is through you and your personal commitment that other people experience the festival. That means that you are part of creating that extra something, which makes the experience so special and memorable to everyone living in the festival city.
YOU GAIN EXPERIENCES
You can test new sides of yourself, you can make new friends and you can expand your professional network. Maybe you get a stronger sense of who you are and your abilities. You get the chance to learn, play, grow and develop yourself, and you gain experiences and new competences, which you can use in the future.
YOU MAKE YOUR MARK
Our ambition is to contribute to a lasting change toward a more sustainable world – socially as well as environmentally and culturally. You are part of creating this lasting change. The people you meet at the festival feel your commitment and your effort. It is felt when the profits from the festival are donated to charities for children and young people all over the world, and it is felt in the local community.
WE ARE THERE FOR EACH OTHER
All volunteers fill out a different role in creating Roskilde Festival and all contributions are irreplaceable. We will prepare you for your role, ensuring that you know what you need to know to carry out your role. We look after you and feed you, so that you are ready to do your best. It’s important to us that you have a good experience and want to return.
