More than 50 people met up for the volunteer meeting in Mariager
On 5 April 2022, Political Festival of Europe held an information meeting and open house for new and potential volunteers for the Festival.
The volunteer meeting started at Mariager Saltcenter with an introduction by CEO Jan Bertelsen, followed by an informative presentation about the volunteer tasks and structure of the Festival by Volunteer Coordinator Jens Lykke. After the presentation, everyone was invited for a sandwich, beverage and a hyggelig chat in the new Volunteer HQ at Havnevej 2 in Mariager downtown.

Between 50 and 60 people spent their Tuesday afternoon in the company of Political Festival of Europe. The audience was very engaging throughout the presentation and had many interesting questions to everyone in the Volunteer Steering Group – from parking, beer and food to transportation and camping.
Volunteer teams at Political Festival of Europe include:
camping
parking and gates
small and big stages
beverages
tent
kids and youth
fix and clean
guides and information runners
The volunteer plan will be set up in the coming months. This way, our Volunteer Steering Board will be able to delegate specific tasks, find team leaders, and prepare for the big and upcoming volunteer brief meeting in August. Following the Festival, which will take place from 25 to 28 August, our volunteers will be able to give feedback, voice their concerns and share their ideas at the evaluation meeting in September. Last but not least, Political Festival of Europe will organize a volunteer party to celebrate and thank all volunteers for their generous time and kindness to support the Festival and bring democracy closer to the people.
