There are 4 categories of volunteers for ISWiB: |
|
1) Group Guides – a group guide's (G.G.'s) main tasks is to take the participants to their workshops, in which G.G.s usually have the right to participate, and to take them back to the dormitory. Besides that, the G.G.s will be helping the participants when it comes to preparing their workshop's final presentation, and they will have a very special mission – to make small symbolic gifts for the participants of the workshop they are “guiding”, which will remind them of the time spent in ISWiB 011. Every workshop requires two G.G.s, so these volunteers will work in pairs. |
|
2) Info & Host – this volunteer category will be primarily in charge of the front desk at the dormitory. The job includes writing down which participants are in which room, but also providing information about the festival, Belgrade and generally anything the participants and other volunteers might need to know. This does not mean that you have to be a tourist guidebook and festival pamphlet rolled into one, but close. You are the first person anyone sees on entering the dormitory, so the thing you will need most is a big smile. The group is organized on a shift basis. Each shift is worked in pairs, like G.G.s. The schedules will be arranged in agreement with the team coordinators before the festival begins. |
|
3) Logistics – should a volunteer choose to be in this category, his/her duties will consist of various activities that are meant to ensure the festival runs smoothly, such as providing the guests with assistance in accessing their rooms and giving them a hand with the luggage, helping out with ISWIB events, but also fulfilling all the required duties that aren't covered by the G.G. and I&H teams. It is a position that gives you the opportunity to be in action all the time and know all of the ISWiB and dormitory gossip. |
|
4) Freelance – members of the freelance team do not have a defined main duty. Their objective is being available to their coordinators and fellow volunteers all the time, should their services be required if one or more volunteers from the other categories are unavailable. That, of course, does not mean the freelancers are not allowed to spend some time with other volunteers and participants on their own. This team is especially convenient for volunteers who are not able to commit fully to ISWiB for some reason, but is in no means inferior or less important than the other teams. |
|
Volunteer applications are open from the 1st of April to the 1st of May 2011. At the end of the application period, the ISWiB Human Resources team will make a selection and let you know if you are chosen to be a part of ISWiBs “Yellow T-shirt” team and inform you about all the volunteer related activities happening before the festival. |
|
To be an ISWiB volunteer you do not need any special skills. The only requirements are that you speak English, are a student or a high school pupil, and that you are in Belgrade one month before the festival starts because this is when the trainings for future volunteers will be held. |
