Join the Crew

An event like the Kulturbrücke cannot be organized without the strong support of our volunteers! We are looking for people who

Tinker with the decorations with us

Would like to support the PR team

and much more! There is indeed always something to do. You don’t have to bring any previous experience with you – we have made it our priority to level with you on whichever skills you have! And certainly we learn a lot from each other!

During the event, we are also happy to have helping hands for set-up and dismantling, in the night watch, in the awareness area, as stewards or at the bar.

You like to volunteer at our event? Great!

Setup & Teardown

Would you like to help us set up and dismantle? Then you’re pretty great! In the days before the festival, you can help with stage construction, transporting equipment or giving the site the finishing touches. And after the festival? You can help us make sure that the Elbe meadow looks like it’s never been danced, celebrated and sung here again – almost like magic, only with muscle power.

Awareness

The Awareness Team is a point of contact at the festival for people who have experienced discrimination, sexualized violence or other types of assault. You work in a shift with another person. Together you support the affected person emotionally and try to find out together how the situation could be improved for this person. It is not your job to resolve conflicts or confront people who use violence about their behavior. You don’t need any prior knowledge for awareness, but you do need to be empathetic and open to other people. This also means that you should be well-rested, sober and stable during the shift. You will receive the exact working methods of the awareness team in advance of the festival in the form of our awareness concept.

Bar

Join our bar and become part of the team behind the counter!
Our concept is simple: bottled drinks and shots.
No novel-length cocktail menu, no artful shaking, no plucking mint leaves.
In return: no plastic waste, clear processes and a team that sticks together.
You don’t need any previous experience. If you are friendly, can get stuck in and keep an overview even when things get busy, you will fit in perfectly with us.
Your job? Fighting thirst and serving up a good atmosphere.

Night's Watch

It’s not just HBO series that need a night watch – unfortunately, so does our equipment.
What’s more, you’re not alone – there are two of you on every night shift! The night watch lasts from approx. 0 to 9 watch and you will definitely get 50€ as compensation for it!

Steward

As a steward, you are part of our security team and therefore an important building block for a good atmosphere. You provide support at the entrance, keep an eye on the site and work hand in hand with the awareness team and other security staff. Your goal: a festival where everyone feels welcome, comfortable and safe – and where only the music gets your heart pumping.

Floater & Stand-In

As a floater, you support us wherever help is needed.
You help with merchandise sales, provide support in artist care, do the shopping or spontaneously step in when people are in need somewhere.
In short: you are our all-round talent – flexible, reliable and right in the middle of the action.

Every support is worth its weight in gold!

Unfortunately, as a volunteer organization team, we cannot offer gold – so we’ll reward you with free drinks during the event instead! More information can be found in the registration forms, or on request. And of course we will give you valuable experiences with lovely people, lots of fun and festival atmosphere!

Feel free to get in touch at info@kulturbruecke-md.de or through our social media channels. We look forward to meeting you!
