About the volunteering opportunity

To help the younger generation achieve greater social participation and public visibility, Berlin-based TINCON gGmbH has been organizing free conferences on digital youth culture since 2016 - by and for people between the ages of 13 and 25. Speakers pass on their skills and knowledge to the young audience in talks, workshops and Q&As. The topics are diverse: pop culture, lifestyle and tech. But it's also about net politics, activism and science.


The non-profit TINCON is sponsored by partners and supporters. And we also rely on helping hands to implement the conferences for digital youth culture. With the help of volunteers, we not only successfully implement TINCON together, but also enable all young people and young adults to attend free of charge - even those who would otherwise not be able to afford it.

Your Tasks

We are looking for helpers to support us with a shift of around six hours before or during TINCON Köln @ c/o pop in Ehrenfeld (April 24 or 25, 2024). For their voluntary work, each volunteer will receive a TINCON shirt and catering on the day of the event. And, of course, the volunteers can enjoy the festival outside of their shift.

We are looking for volunteers in these areas

  • CONSTRUCTION / DESTRUCTION / ENGINEERING: You will support our team on site with the construction/conversion and dismantling of TINCON. Whether it's setting up decorations or designing the stage - the main thing is that you like to lend a hand! It would be great if you have sturdy and closed shoes (boots or work shoes) and clothes that can get a little dirty.

  • ACCREDITING/ ADMISSION CONTROL: You are the first point of contact for TINCON participants. You check the tickets, hand out admission wristbands and program booklets and make sure that guests, speakers and the press find their way around the venue. This area is perfect for you if you enjoy dealing with people!

  • RUNNER: As an all-rounder, you support our TINCON team wherever help is needed. You are spontaneous and flexible and would like to get a taste of all areas of the festival.

  • GAMING SUPERVISION: Do you like gaming and have a rough understanding of consoles, PCs & games? Then help us look after the games! You will look after the technology in the gaming area and guide participants through the various games.

  • WORKSHOP SUPERVISION: In the workshop space, you are the contact person for the workshop leaders and have a good overview of the schedule. You will support the workshop leaders in running their sessions and make sure that they keep an eye on their time.
