Our structure
The BAF Camp is a self-managed event. We organise horizontally, with working groups for different aspects (Logistics, Care, Comms, ...) and a coordination working group. Decisions are made by consent and we advocate an anti-authoritarian attitude. The organizing group is made up of people learning together to create these kinds of events, so it is open to anyone. No skills are required.
Working groups
Here is the list of the different working groups ("groupes de travails" or GTs in French), send an email by clicking on the button above if you wish to join one of them.
GT Care
Research and put into practice processes to fight oppressive practices during the organization and the festival itself.
GT Communication
Manage social networks, website, external communication of the event.
GT Volunteers
Manage and coordinate festival volunteers.
GT Logistics
Plan the necessary equipment for the festival as well as the logistics of the site (tent locations, setup and dismantling, etc.)
GT Programming
Propose workshop themes for the festival programme and contact these collectives or people, collect contributions for the programme.
GT Money & Legal
Define a budget for the festival, contact donors, think about the legal protection of the festival and request the necessary authorizations.
GT Coordination
Supports other groups and ensures fluid communication between the different GTs.
Volunteering
On site, our goal is for this event to run in as horizontal and self-managed a way as possible. That’s why, in order to blur the line between volunteers & “consumers” of the festival as much as possible, ideally, all participants give a bit of their time to help run this festival. We’ve calculated that if all volunteers work 2 hours a day, the festival should be able to run in a self-managed way. Furthermore, any task can be adapted if you have a disability of any kind.
Feel free to already let us know your volunteering preferences by filling out the registration form. Otherwise, you’ll be able to find tasks to do on the spot in real time! If you have any questions or comments before August 20th, contact us via our email: volontairesBAF@proton.me!
The camp will be set up and taken down collectively. We’ll need help! We’ll need to put up marquees and stages, but also create the decor, imagine spaces and build infrastructure out of pallets according to our ideas! Lots of things are still left to invent, so come take part in creating this space starting August 16th! Sign up to help set up the camp beforehand in the form below 👇.
