Volunteering
Become a Volunteer for Malta Festival 2025!
This year, Malta Festival celebrates its 35th edition – and you’re invited to help create it with us!
By joining the festival team, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how one of the biggest cultural events in Poland comes to life. You’ll meet amazing people driven by the same energy and passion, and you’ll gain valuable skills that will benefit you well into the future.
No previous experience is required — what matters most is your commitment, attentiveness, and willingness to act. Under the guidance of experienced professionals from various fields, we’ll make sure you have the opportunity to learn, grow, and simply have a great time.
We offer not just a great atmosphere, but real support. Before the festival begins, you’ll be invited to a training session tailored to your selected area. During the event itself, you can count on the support and assistance of the Malta Festival team. Our Festival Center, located at the Magdalena Abakanowicz University of the Arts in Poznań, will offer you drinks and snacks throughout the festival days. After completing your volunteer work, you’ll receive an official certificate of participation.
You can also complete your university internship during your time as a volunteer — just indicate this option on the application form.
Additionally, you’ll have the chance to attend selected festival events — depending on availability and space.
Malta Festival takes place from June 20–28, 2025, but in the form you can choose to join us a few days earlier, when we are preparing the festival for the public.
Anyone aged 16 and above is welcome to volunteer. We will sign a formal agreement with each participant.
