Music, events, community building & creativity at Gimle's cafe
FONDEN GIMLE
Roskilde, Denmark
Description
Gimle is a regional music venue and youth culture café. Gimle offers Roskilde and the region's citizens a wide range of cultural events with quality, content and diversity. At Gimle, the volunteers run the arrangements - both before, during and after the events. The focal point of the project is to run Gimle's cultural café, The Raven, together with the other volunteers and staff - this includes bartending, food preperation and event management. The café is open 5 days a week and is a popular gathering place for volunteers and local community. In the café you can organize various events including concerts, international evenings, bar bingo, boardgame nights and theme parties. There are opportunities to fill in with your own creative abilities and ideas, and thereby discover what you are really passionate about. The volunteers are encouraged and guided to create a personal project in order to put their "footprint" on Gimle
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

The apartment is in walking distance to the Gimle venue, and is situated in the center of Roskilde town.
