DESCRIPTION
Last year, we organized a Youth Festival in Małopolska region of Poland - since it was a great success, we decided to do it again. And we we want YOU to join us! Did you ever want to gain experience with event planning? How about organizing your own festival? Well, now is your chance! We are looking for 30 volunteers that would like to come to Rabka for 35 days and plan a week-long festival – every day of the festival will be held in a different town! Events that we will organize will depend on needs analysis that we do in all the towns that will be involved, but you can expect a series of workshops, shows, cultural events, social events and youth policy events. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, send us an application! We hope to see you in Rabka! (Note: travel days for the project are 03.06. (arrival) and 07.07.(departure), this is not flexible) You can find more about the project here: https://shorturl.at/x96f0
