Ljubljana Pride Festival co-creators 2025
Drustvo Parada ponosa
Ljubljana, Slovenia
Description
You will be involved in the co-creation of the programme of the Pride Parade Festival. This means you will be (physically) working together on the implementation of different activities and events, from exhibitions, round table discussion, workshops, concerts, conferences and of course, the annual Pride Parade! Please have in mind that this really means SUPPORTIVE TASKS during the events. You’ll be working closely with our team and the other volunteers to ensure this year’s Festival runs smoothly by carrying out the following tasks: Before the Festival: preparing the logistics, decorations, getting inputs, technical elements, promoting activities, visuals, assembling groups and making the plans. During Festival: making sure all of the agreed things are happening. After the festival: cleaning and organising, youth pass and evaluation. The work will take place at the office as well as at different venues. Learn more about the organisation here: https://ljubljanapride.org/en/
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The project includes: Fully funded travel and accommodation; Covered food expenses and pocket money; Mentoring and Youthpass certificate; Health insurance; Language support. Volunteers will be accommodated together, sharing rooms between 4-6 volunteers from the group. The work will take place at the local youth center, our office as well as at different venues outside. There is a very simple public bike system available throughout Ljubljana.
Training during the activity
At the start of the volunteering, we will organise an all day on-arrival training for the whole group. During the training we will get to know each other a bit better, present the Festival programme and the team, agree how we want to work together, present the ESC programme and its elements – including the mentorship and the youth pass. In the first two weeks of the activity, you will also have the opportunity to participate in workshops for young people to get to know our organisation and its scope of work better as well as in the LGBT tour.
