Description
Festivals organized by fire departments, marksmen's, boys' and sports clubs, traditional costume parades, charitable events, parish festivals - these are all largely purely voluntary celebrations. They are an integral part of everyday life and an essential component of the Bavarian attitude to life and quality of life.
However, those who want to organize such festivals often have to adhere to a comprehensive set of rules. The various responsibilities and different deadlines alone regularly pose major problems for volunteers.
For this reason, the Bavarian state government has produced a guide to club celebrations. It provides answers to the most important questions about traditional and club celebrations in easy-to-understand language and gives tips for planning, organizing and holding them.
You can download the guide or order a printed copy via the website www.bestellen.bayern.de (see "Further links").
The "Sorgentelefon Ehrenamt " (telephone number 089 / 12 22 212 ) is an additional service provided by the Bavarian State Government for all volunteers who have questions about club celebrations and traditional festivals. You can also submit your request by e-mail to direkt@bayern.de or via the contact form Volunteering (see 'Related links').
The guidelines for club celebrations and the volunteer hotline help clubs and volunteers to find their way through the maze of regulations for events.
The responsible State Ministry for Family, Labor and Social Affairs is also available to answer general questions about volunteering with advice and assistance.
In addition, the Bavarian State Government Commissioner for Volunteering, Gabi Schmidt, MdL, is an independent direct contact person who supports all those involved in voluntary work. You can also submit your request here by e-mail to ehrenamtsbeauftragte@stmas.bayern.de.
