Cooperation

Urkult works mainly with the festival, but we do arrange and/or cooperate with other organisatins to arrange other cultural events during the year. We work with a variety of associations and organizations before and during the festival. During these three days of the festival we have about 600 volunteers helping us to provide a great time for everyone.

Three basic elements

The Urkult organisation work is based on three basic elements: the local, the international and environmental perspective.

The local perspective

The foundation is of course the local involvement, where implementation is based on voluntary actions. All materials and ingredients are purchased locally from organic farmers as much as possible

The international dimension

Festival folk and world music imprint has obvious roots in the international perspective. Meetings between different cultures gives us opportunities for amazing experiences, and helps to create understanding across cultural boundaries. Cultures and people unite. Music created and developed today often with ingredients from a variety of genres. The traditional mixed with modern, African with Swedish and so on. This music is sometimes called world music

An environmental perspective

Last but not least, we have taken upon ourselves to carry out the festival as environmentally friendly as possible. Most of the waste is composted on site or recycled in the best way. The permanent toilets supplemented with urine separation. Otherwise, we try to use environmentally friendly materials so much as our knowledge and economy allows. We also work to keep to volume to an acceptable level during the performances. Do you have tips or ideas, before, during or after the festival, please contact us! We are open too and interested in proposals that can make the festival even better!
