ONBOARDING CALLS
Our "Onboarding Open Call" takes place every month on the 1st at 6 pm.
We'll introduce you to the festival and its organizational structure, and you can share your wishes regarding taking on responsibility.
We are looking for
Circle moderation/secretariat
Secretariat in different areas
from now on
For productive work in sociocratic circles, we need people willing to take on the roles of facilitator and secretary. While the facilitator ensures adherence to sociocratic principles, the secretary coordniates talking time and organizes the dates for circle meetings. Be closely involved in the decisions for the festival and ensure that those who couldn't attend don't miss anything by documenting and taking notes! This position is crucial for communication and information sharing.
No prior knowledge is required, just the motivation to learn. We will introduce you to your role and learn how it works together.
In position of responsibility
We have focus roles (that's what we call the people responsible for individual sub-areas). Are you dedicated, results-oriented, flexible, enjoy delegating and coordinating tasks (to our volunteer helpers), and are you eager to get involved, take on responsibility, and talk to people? Then this is the right role for you!
Are you interested in getting closer to Ancient Trance right now? We are currently looking for volunteers (preferably in Leipzig) for the following focus roles:

Merchandise focus in Leipzig

Orga team
We – the volunteer organizers of the festival – have adopted a sociocratic structure since 2017. Sociocracy is an organizational form consisting of hierarchically ordered circles with fixed roles, thereby ensuring equality for all.
The committees at Ancient Trance take care of both the content-related work at the festival and the organizational challenges of coordinating over 40 organizers.
Circle meetings usually take place once a month - more frequently shortly before the festival - and working group meetings depending on the needs and availability of the participants.
We meet in person in Leipzig, as most of the organization lives here. However, a large part of our communication also takes place online.
