You will also exchange experiences with former coordinators and will be associated with a contact from the Student Council.

Together with your coordinators, you will be able to organize your work at the festival itself, so you can watch music and participate in (almost) everything you want. However, the ultimate responsibility is yours, and it is up to you to be available if needed.

The position is a project employment that will be completed as soon as you have both written a comprehensive evaluation after the completion of the Roskilde Festival, and you have completed the accounts.
