In begrenztem Umfang besteht die Möglichkeit, durch die Teilnahme an Arbeitsaustausch 50% oder 100% Rabatt auf die Kosten des Festivals zu erhalten (auf den normalen Campingpreis; nicht die Kosten für die Zimmer).
Diese Jobs beginnen oft einen Tag vor dem Festival (weitere Informationen findest du in den Beschreibungen der einzelnen Bereiche). Bitte melde dich am ersten Tag bei der Staff-Registration an, um dich anzumelden.
Austauschjobs sind zeitaufwändiger als das normale Karma Yoga des Festivals, und in den meisten Fällen wirst du Teile des Programms verpassen – was aber nicht bedeutet, dass du auf das Festival Erlebnis verzichten musst.

Every morning we will meet before 8 A.M for a group meditation and then have breakfast together at the Teens’ Camp.
In the last two years Teens’ camp has spent two days overnight at Chateau Anand. We will see if this can also happen this year. It is a great opportunity to get to know this exceptional location and to experience the company and the conviviality of the young Sangat. Your participation and mobility is highly appreciated – and required.
The Teens’ Camp closes in the evening of Peace Prayer Day (last day of the Festival), all the equipment needs to be taken care of and properly stored for next year’s Festival. It is planned to have a final get together after the All Camp Dinner for reflection and a meditation to close.
To work in Teens’ camp, it is necessary to arrive by Friday evening (day before the Festival) at 5 P.M. for our first meeting (which takes place at the Teens’ Camp). The second meeting is on Saturday after the Set Up beginning at 8 A.M. The Teens’ Camp opens at 3 P.M.
