Description
Service Volontaire International (SVI) is looking for 5 international volunteers to join their team at Festival Esperanzah, one of Belgium’s most vibrant cultural festivals, from 11 July to 1 August 2025. Volunteers will contribute to the organization of the festival — supporting with assembly, waste management, ticketing, and general logistics — all while being part of a diverse and dynamic volunteer crew.
SVI also invites volunteers to discover their brand new social volunteering project “Café Monde”, launched in collaboration with Belrefugees and based in Louvain-la-Neuve. This long-term project focuses on creating a welcoming space for intercultural dialogue, especially supporting people with refugee backgrounds.
All practical details and participation fees are available in SVI’s official brochure, which you can download here.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
For Festival Esperanzah, volunteers will be accommodated in shared group housing arranged by the hosting team. Meals and other arrangements may vary. For the Café Monde project, housing is organized in collaboration with local partners. Full logistical details are provided upon selection.
Training during the activity
Introductory training is provided for all volunteers. For Café Monde, additional training focuses on intercultural dialogue, community engagement, and non-formal learning methods, with the support of a local coordination team.
Participant profile
These opportunities are open to young people aged 18–30, with a focus on motivation, team spirit, and interest in social and cultural exchange. No prior experience is required, but a proactive and open-minded attitude is key. These are genuine volunteering experiences — not tourism — and volunteers are expected to take on responsibilities and contribute meaningfully.
