Oxfam are on tour with Coldplay in Nice on 22 May and we want you to join us!
Are you ready to do something different at a gig? No we don’t mean crowd surf. We mean talking to people about getting a fairer food system so people don’t go hungry.
Oxfam are looking for volunteers in Nice to help us spread the word about our new campaign GROW at a Coldplay concert.
The food system is broken. We have enough food on this planet to feed our population yet one in seven people go to bed hungry every day. The way we produce, consume and distribute food is wrong and means that people are going hungry needlessly. Oxfam wants to fix this, Coldplay wants to fix this too and have asked us to come on tour with them to create a global movement of Coldplay fans who are speaking out about the food system.
You just need to be willing to talk to Coldplay fans about Oxfam and encourage them to join the GROW campaign movement. We want people to use their voices with Oxfam and Coldplay to call for a fairer food system for everyone. You will work with a team of Oxfam volunteers at the gig and in return for your energy, you will get a free Coldplay ticket for the night, courtesy of Coldplay.
You will need to be free from 3pm on 22 May and you will be free to watch the Coldplay performance at 9pm.
All applicants must have a good knowledge of English and be energetic and passionate about Oxfam’s work to find solutions to hunger, poverty and injustice. You will receive training before the gig. To apply to volunteer email Rachel on raedwards@oxfam.org.uk, and provide details of why you are interested in volunteering, if you have experience of campaigning with an NGO and your contact details.
Applications should be in English and must be able speak fluent French to speak to Coldplay fans in Nice. Application deadline is Thursday 17 May.
Calling all Oxfam and Coldplay fans, we need your help!
