Barnas verdensdager (Children’s World Days)
(October 17–18)
Would you like to complete your shifts before the music festival, while helping create a magical experience for children across the city? Then BVD is for you. (You can also combine one shift at BVD with one during the festival.)
Host / Front of House
You’ll be working during the festival days, October 17–18.
You will:
- Assist artists during workshops and guide children
- Welcome audiences and answer questions
- Handle security/watch duties
- Help with catering for artists and volunteers
- And take on other tasks as needed
Setup / Decoration
We transform Grønland Kulturstasjon into a colorful, magical space filled with installations and experiences — and we need your help. Tasks include rigging, decorating, building installations, and more. You can work daytime or evening shifts, and we promise a friendly atmosphere with lunch and time to meet other volunteers. Setup takes place October 10–16.
Oslo World
Host / Front of House
As a host, you’ll work at venues before, during, and after concerts and other festival events.
Distribution
You’ll be assigned a zone in Oslo that becomes “yours.” Your task is to distribute our festival catalogue to cafés, cinemas, theatres, libraries, shops, etc. This round must be completed 2–3 times.
Driver
As a driver, you’ll transport artists to and from venues for soundchecks and concerts, as well as other festival-related tasks. You must be comfortable driving in central Oslo, hold a manual driving license, and be confident driving a 9-seater vehicle.
Promoter
As an Oslo World promoter, you’ll work strategically with promotion and audience development in niche communities.
Artist Liaison
As an artist liaison, you’ll be responsible for an artist from arrival to departure. You’ll receive an artist folder with schedules and key information, and act as the main point of contact between venues, drivers, the festival restaurant, and others — ensuring the artist moves smoothly from A to B according to plan.
