    Description

    WE AR LOOKING FOR A HELPER ONLY FOR THE SUMMER! (JULY TO AUGUST) - to be here for first two weeks of August is A MUST to participate in our project.

    We are two crazy childhood friends who likes to make non-profit underground edm parties. Our mission is to expand edm/rave culture in our country.

    Our biggest project this year is our festival which takes place on 13, 14 and 15 of August and the help from you will be needed mostly for this happening. Let me tell you about it..

    In the morning of 13th August, we meet at the riverside and get into our rowing gear - canoes, wooden boats, stand up paddles or an inflatable unicorn with a branch for a oars. Down the stream, we will be having a sailing adventure until we can park our boats and collectively immerse ourselves into sound waves of electrical beats under a starry sky. When the Sun rises again, we will allow ourselves to relish in the calmness of nature, fresh waters of the river and a cold beer, all while enjoying a calm Sunday, which, undoubtedly, will result in another unforgettable night - under the stars, on the dancefloor.

    This will be the second year we are making this kind of event. Last year we were 35 participants, this year we are hoping for 60 and more.

    So basically we are doing everything - starting from making cool artsy decorations till the stage building.

    We are looking for someone who really wants to add their personal value to our event/s. You will have free space to express yourself in a way you want.



    P.S. Also, if that will be in your interests, we can help you to get some half-time side hustle job in case you want earn some money for yourself. Cause you will have a lot of free time here, you will not have any work schedule - there will be things you will have to do and the deadline date for it. In what times you do it mostly will be up to you. Of course, there will be some days when we will need your help right away or on some specific time, but overall your helping schedule will be very flexible.

    Help

    We are looking for someone who supports our mission and really wants to be a part of what we are doing. Someone who likes the idea of the thing we are doing and wants to be a part of this happening with all of their heart.

    You will have to help us in a lot of ways - starting from cutting the stickers till helping to build the stage. There will be a lot of small thingys to do around our events.

    There will be moments where the help will be not that 'pleasurable' as helping to clean the places after events or helping to carry a lot of stuff to set up the parties and some things like that, but that will happen very rarely.

    You will have the freedom to express yourself and make these events together with us.
