Zero Waste, Cleaning & Decoration

This team has one main job which is keeping the entire venue neat and tidy and make sure it looks welcoming for attendees.

Areas concerned:

Everywhere!

Tasks include:

  • Signage (printing and putting up banners at the entrance and the main rooms, the toilets, etc.).

  • Further decoration tasks in the main and the secondary spaces.

  • Cleaning, whenever necessary.

  • Tidying up the space plus encouraging people to keep it that way.

  • Dealing with any issues that may arise, like fixing any piece of furniture that may break down, or informing area leaders and look for help when facing more difficult problems.

  • Collectig information about waste and impact assessment.

Ideally, you will create Shifs that allow people to have breaks and enjoy the rest of the event. Again 3-hour shifts work well for most people. Volunteers who are devoted to just this are can do 2 shifts of 3 hours each per day, whereas people contributing to other teams can do just one.

Team Requirements

For this area, OuiShare Fest Paris 2016 had 3 area leaders and 16 volunteers.

This is how work was split up according to the main tasks:

  • Clearing and tidy up of spaces

    • 2 people the day before the event starts to check out final details

    • During the 3 first days (conference days), always 1 person per shift of 3 hours

    • Open day, 4-5 people per shift of 3 hours.

  • Supporting team and attendes to sort out plus collecting information about waste and impact assessment

    • 1 person per shif all throughout the event

    • 2 people on the set-up day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
