WORK / PROJECT: If you are interested in festival production here is the perfect opportunity to get some experience in the field. This particular project will combine various tasks within Reykjavík city with different partners. This will ensure diverse daily tasks and a rich experience for SEEDS volunteers.

The main task of the project is to give support to DesignMarch 2015, which takes place on the weekend of March 12^th - 15^th. SEEDS volunteers will support the organisers and assist in various tasks related to the artistic events. This is the 6^th year in a row that SEEDS supports the DesignMarch!

Possible tasks may include welcome honorary guests to the festival, pick up honorary guests to the festival, help with last minute event preparations and production, help with festival event openings upon need, help set up posters, help deliver brochures and materials, help with general office tasks and personal assistance to festival management.

As volunteers will have to communicate with the project managers, artists and guests, good conversational skills in English are required. Driver's license is also essential because some of the tasks that SEEDS volunteers will be performing will include driving a car.   

DesignMarch is a four day feast for designers, artists, and anyone interested in design. The first six DesignMarch programmes in 2009-2014 were splendid with events reflecting a wide range of designs. For more information on the event follow the link, http://www.designmarch.is

ACCOMMODATION:  SEEDS volunteers will stay in a house in Reykjavík. The facilities are basic with only one shower and bathroom and volunteers are expected to show consideration for their companions. Volunteers will be sleeping in shared rooms in a sleeping bag accommodation. Please bring your own sleeping bag.

Volunteers will receive food supplies and be in charge of the cooking and cleaning activities.

Do not forget some traditional/typical food from your home country for the international evening.

LOCATION: Reykjavík is the capital of Iceland, often called “the nightlife capital of the north”. But there is more to Reykjavík than pubs and clubs. Reykjavík also gathers the most interesting of Icelandic culture. It is an incubator of new ideas and styles which often indicates new global trends. It is an International city with a lively Cosmopolitan cultural scene.

The world’s northernmost capital bridges the Atlantic, between Europe and North America. Reykjavík is spread across a peninsula with a panoramic view of the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean on almost all sides. Reykjavík is a dynamic, modern city which lives in harmony with beautiful nature, using renewable energy sources - geothermal power and glacial rivers.

March is the last month when you can see, with a piece of good luck, the Northern lights (Aurora Borealis) in Iceland. In the area closer than 100 Km from Reykjavík, there are several spectacular waterfalls, geysers, impressive coastline and the well-known geothermal Blue Lagoon spa to visit.

LANGUAGE: English will be the language of the camp. Good conversational skills are required.

TERMINAL: Closest international Airport: Keflavík/Reykjavík (KEF). Bus station: Central Reykjavík (BSÍ).

EXTRAS / SPECIAL REMARKS: Participation fee EUR 200 (Euros). Please note that these fees are to be paid to SEEDS on arrival in either Euros or Icelandic krónas.

Volunteers need to have good conversational skills in English and a driver's license.

Due to the important and public role of the volunteers as representatives of the festival, we remind that the team members should have at least one presentable outfit with them.
