“I have become much more open to meeting new people, I communicate much easier and more courageously with strangers. I dare to ask questions and address others.”

What does volunteering mean?
During Sziget Festival, volunteers work an average of 6 shifts, each lasting 6 hours, in different areas of the event and fulfill various roles and duties. Participating in the program requires a deposit which is returned after the last shift. Participants are not paid for their volunteer activities, but they can take part in the festival’s programs throughout the entire duration of Sziget Festival (excluding the shifts of the volunteer)! Volunteers will work in a super team, and their work is supported by mentors and volunteer coordinators.
“I realised that small things should also be appreciated, and sometimes friendships that are formed in 7 days are stronger than the ones formed in years. We are all equal, and many times a smile can completely brighten a person’s day.”
