Every year, we go to three festivals and contribute.
Role: lifeguarding
Festivals need lifeguards, and Denmark's most luxurious branded festival do too. Smukfest is placed outside of the second-largest city, Aarhus, in Skanderborg. If you are up for volunteering in water safety, Smukfest trains you to become a lifeguard. Training begins in April on a 1-day trial, then you are paired up with experienced lifeguards who teaches you first-hand what can go wrong when you mix heavy alcohol with a sunny day, bathing waters, and soundbokses. We become part of the lifeguarding camp where 40 other lifeguards places their tents and have drinks when not on the role.

Role: crowd safety
What crowd safety does at Arena is to be present before things go wrong. We become an integrated part of Scandinavia's largest festival, Roskilde. The festival that invented Soundboks. Homemade speakers that is build in sizes and volume that reaches loudness greater than many nightclubs. All built by enthusiasts. And things sometimes get intense during festival days at the stages. We contribute to the safety at Arena, one of Roskilde's 8 stages. Central Cee, Olivia Rodrigo, Medina, Wiz Khalifa, Ukendt Kunstner, have all been performing at Arena.

The values of these activities is to contribute in other teams, solving different problems in high stakes roles, and see the world with different glasses. Getting away from the computer and phone, no customer contacts or product development. Simply, coming up with great camp themes, contributing with personal events for others, and contribute.
