Become part of the SWOP family!

Every year, the SWOP Festival has a team of wonderfull volunteers who help out during the festival with a variety of tasks. It’s possible to make requests about which task you are assigned to, who you’re working with and when.
There will be 3 meetings for volunteers before the festival, with additional information. The meetings are non-binding. It’s optimal to attend all of the meetings, but it’s not a requirement. All volunteers are offered a first aid course.

Dates for the meetings:
  • February 29th 2024, 17.00-18.00 (information about this year’s programme and volunteer tasks)
  • March 19th 2024, 14.30-16.30 (first aid course) + 17.00-18.00 (information about tasks and shifts)
  • April 23rd 2024, 17.00-19.00 (kick off meeting)
Meeting place: Aaben Dans, Rabalderstræde 10, Musicon, 4000 Roskilde.
We collect children’s certificate for all volunteers (certificate of criminal record for a person’s suitability to work with children).
If you are interested please contact our Volunteer Manager Danielle at danielle@aabendans.dk.
