Volunteer Staff
Greater London, England, United Kingdom
I volunteered at Greenwich and Docklands festival over the summer holidays. I gained more confidence as I had to interact with people coming to see performances as well as hand out programmes to try and increase audience. One of the performances moved through a busy street as it was parkour, and so we had to guide the crowd to make sure they moved towards the correct area for the finale. I also helped collect feedback from the audience so the festival can continue to be as interesting and well received as it was this year. As well as this, I received basic training on how to make the festival more accessible for those with access needs, as they should be allowed to enjoy a festival like anyone else. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience.
