Description
Yiddish Summer Weimar (YSW) is one of the world’s most important and most inclusive Yiddish culture festivals, where traditional and contemporary Yiddish culture is taught, developed, and shared with the public. Each year, a community of artists, musicians, workshop participants, and guests from around the world gather at the festival to experience and shape Yiddish culture in workshops, jam sessions, and concerts. One of the goals of Yiddish Summer Weimar is to make Yiddish culture more visible and to give people from all over the world the opportunity to experience it and develop it further. This summer we organize a team during the YSW (yiddishsummer.eu). From August 4 to 18, a team of 14 volunteers will support our intercultural festival in 5 different areas (workshops, concerts, kitchen, awareness work, etc.)
Modalités d'hébergement, de restauration et de transport
If you’d like to take part, we can give you some pocket money and cover your travel costs as well as your free accommodation and lunch. We’ll organize a room for you in a shared student apartment or with a host family in Weimar. Every day, we’ll serve a free vegetarian and vegan lunch buffet. We also provide free coffee, tea and water. You’ll need to organize your other meals.
Formation pendant l’activité
Our volunteers play a major role in realizing our goal. By volunteering at Yiddish Summer Weimar, you can take a look behind the scenes of a major cultural festival. They can contribute their existing strengths to various areas of responsibility and learn new skills at the same time. Through volunteering, you can get to know the international community for Yiddish culture, get a taste of workshops, exchange stories and experiences at informal get-togethers or even get musically active yourself at jam sessions. We offer online coachings as well as support by a qualified team on the spot.
