Volunteer with us!
Would you like to be a volunteer at Norway’s most border-crossing festival?
We need you!
Without our dedicated team of volunteers, the Barents Spektakel would simply not happen – in fact, we think of enthusiastic volunteers as one of our greatest assets and one of the most vital ingredients when producing the festival. As a volunteer at the Barents Spektakel you will help with miscellaneous tasks and have many different responsibilities, but most importantly, experience the Barents Spektakel as an ‘insider’ and be an essential part of the festival team!
Due to uncertainty about the COVID-19 situation in February 2022, both the travel restrictions, our need of volunteers and the festival tasks might change and we ask for understanding for this. However, we would like everyone who would like to volunteer for the 2022 edition of the festival to sign up, and we will keep you posted on the situation for the festival in order for it to be both safe and fun for everyone!
