3 September 2019 Volunteer at the 2019 Conrad Festival!
The largest literary festival in Central Europe will once again bring the hottest names of the world of literature to Krakow. This year, the list of 150 guests includes artists such as Chimamanda, Ngozi Adichie, Dmitry Bykov, Mona Chollet, Didier Eribon, Mariusz Szczygieł and Zyta Rudzka. Join us in the preparations of the 11th edition of the Conrad Festival – Realities – which will take place on 21–27 October this year.
Do you want to become a guide for one of our international guests? Perhaps you’d like to take care of the festival audience?
