What is the Work Experience?
Future Forest Work Experience Program is an innovative initiative replacing the previous volunteering opportunities at Future Forest.. This program is a collaboration with Shift Happens, a company that is specialized in facilitating work exchanges.
This revamped program allows participants to be actively involved in the production and facilitation of Future Forest. Participants will have the opportunity to contribute to the magic of the festival by engaging in a wide range of tasks and roles that are integral to the event.
Unlike traditional volunteering, this work experience program is designed with a strong emphasis on creating a learning and growth environment. Participants will not only work but also learn new skills, gain practical knowledge, and experience personal growth.
In addition, the program encourages social connection and networking. Participants are likely to make new friends, build relationships, and become part of a dynamic and vibrant community, all while contributing to the success of Future Forest.
Ultimately, the Future Forest Work Experience Program aims to provide a well-rounded, enriching experience that combines work, learning, personal development, and social engagement for all its participants.
